    个人观点：C有二个错误的地方：

    一：选项说Many drug manufacturers increase sales of their products to hospitals by selling these products to the hospitals at the lowest price the manufacturers can afford。这里的 many drug manufacturers 未必就包括NOVEX。犯了讨论概念扩大范围的错误（ETS在迷惑选项中经常干这种事）。

   二：就是包括了，该选项也要进一步的推理，才能削弱 novex is the most effective painkiller.因此该答案不如D来得直接。

Argument Evaluation

Situation s. An advertisement claims that Novex is the most effective painkiller for sinus pain since three out of four hospitals use it for patients.

Reasoning What paint undermines the advertisement's claim? The argument for Novex's effectiveness as a painkiller is based upon the hospitals^' usage. Consider what might be driving the hospitals' choice of medications to administer. Three out of four hospitals might be giving their patients Novex not because it is the most effective painkiller for sinus pain, but because it is inexpensive. If this is the case, the argument is seriously undermined.

A         Other kinds of pain are irrelevant to the argument since the claim is only about sinus pain.

B          This point does not undermine the advertisement's claim.

C          Correct. This statement properly identifies a factor that could well undermine the advertisement's claim: the hospitals may be using this medication because it is the most cost effective for them.

D         Novex's nonprescription formula is not relevant to the claim.

E         

s

This point strengthens, rather than weakens, the claim. The correct answer is C.
