CR 1000

by ashishrs » Sat Jul 21, 2007 12:10 pm
Dr. A: The new influenza vaccine is useless at best and possibly dangerous. I would never use it on a patient.
Dr. B: But three studies published in the Journal of Medical Associates have rated that vaccine as unusually effective.
Dr. A: The studies must have been faulty because the vaccine is worthless.
In which of the following is the reasoning most similar to that of Dr. A?
(A) Three of my patients have been harmed by that vaccine during the past three weeks, so the vaccine is unsafe.
(B) Jerrold Jersey recommends this milk, and I don’t trust Jerrold Jersey, so I won’t buy this milk.
(C) Wingzz tennis balls perform best because they are far more effective than any other tennis balls.
(D) I’m buying Vim Vitamins. Doctors recommend them more often than they recommend any other vitamins, so Vim Vitamins must be good.
(E) Since University of Muldoon graduates score about 20 percent higher than average on the GMAT, Sheila Lee, a University of Muldoon graduate, will score about 20 percent higher than average when she takes the GMAT.

Is it (D)?

Just b/c doctor recommends it does not mean it MUST be good.

Dr. A's argument is not reasoned and circular.

My vote for C, which is also ill-reasoned and circular in logic.

ans must be B

I think B is correct
It follows the same logic
In question medical asoociation recommends but but dr A rejects their findings and says "they must be faulty"... that means he doesnt trust medical association at all....

only B gives same sort of logic...

What is the rite answer ashish

I think C is correct...just like Dr.A's conclusion is without any support so is this argument

Please post the correct answer and source

Thanks

B?

Is B more appropriate?

C, D and E are similar. Their conclusions are made according to the statistics. The comment by Dr. A is suggesting he refutes the validity of the medical report.

I would go for B.

The doctor says the medicines are worthless as he doesn't believe in the studies which say medicine is effective.
Similarly in B, author doesn't believe Jerrold Jersey, and hence he doesn't like his milk.

Whats the OA?

Thanks
