Most antidepressant drugs cause weight gain. While dieting can help reduce the amount of weight gained while taking such antidepressants, some weight gain is unlikely to be preventable. The information above most strongly supports which one of the following?
A. A physician should not prescribe any antidepressant drug for a patient if that patient is overweight.
B. People who are trying to lose weight should not ask their doctors for an antidepressant drug.
C. At least some patients taking antidepressant drugs gain weight as a result of taking them.
D. The weight gain experienced by patients taking antidepressant drugs should be attributed to lack of dieting.
E. All patients taking antidepressant drugs should diet to maintain their weight.

IMO C...

since it is mentioned in the passage that "some weight gain is unlikely to be preventable"... that means some of the people taking the AD drugs will gain weight...


Thanks

My answer is C

A. A physician should not prescribe any antidepressant drug for a patient if that patient is overweight. -->strong wording.NO
B. People who are trying to lose weight should not ask their doctors for an antidepressant drug.-->strong wording.NO
C. At least some patients taking antidepressant drugs gain weight as a result of taking them. OK
D. The weight gain experienced by patients taking antidepressant drugs should be attributed to lack of dieting. -->Not always. It is stated that despite dieting, one can gain weight inevitably.
E. All patients taking antidepressant drugs should diet to maintain their weight.-->
As it is mentioned, dieting may not work to maintain weight.
