In spite of what its critics say, the new,
expensive artificial kidney implant is a boon
to modern medicine. These critics should
remember that the first heart transplants
stimulated an enormous amount of beneficial
medical research, even though the transplant
technique was later rejected in favor of less
invasive surgical procedures.
8. The author defends the artificial kidney implant
against the critics by
(A) attacking her opponents' method of
circular reasoning
(B) implying an analogy between the benefits
of the artificial kidney implant and the
benefits of the early heart transplants
(C) pointing out a contradiction implicit in their
criticism of the implant's high cost
(D) criticizing the professional objectivity of
her opponents rather than their claim
(E) implying an analogy between the critics'
opposition to the artificial kidney implant
and their opposition to the early heart
transplants

It is definitely between B and E.
Lets check E:
(E) implying an analogy between the critics'
opposition to the artificial kidney implant
and their opposition to the early heart
transplants
Argument has not mentioned that heart transplant had critiques but states that the transplant technique is later replaced by newer one.
Thus E is out.
Ans must be B.

good one!
Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!
