Aristotle LSAT CR 101 Not Er

by mundasingh123 » Mon Aug 29, 2011 12:34 pm
It is not known whether bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), a disease of cattle invariably deadly to them, can be transmitted directly from one infected animal to another at all stages of the infection. If it can be, there is now a reservoir of infected cattle incubating the disease. There are no diagnostic tests to identify infected animals before the animals show overt symptoms. Therefore, if such direct transmission occurs, the disease cannot be eradicated by ____
Which one of the following best completes the argument?
(A) removing from the herd and destroying any diseased animal as soon as it shows the typical symptoms of advanced BSE
(B) developing a drug that kills the agent that cause BSE, and then treating with that drug all cattle that might have the disease
(C) destroying all cattle in areas where BSE occurs and raising cattle only in areas to which BSE is known not to have spread
(D) developing a vaccine that confers lifelong immunity against BSE and giving it to all cattle, destroying in due course all those animals for which the vaccine protection came too late
(E) developing a diagnostic test that does identify any infected animal and destroying all animals found to be infected

IMO:A

(A) removing from the herd and destroying any diseased animal as soon as it shows the typical symptoms of advanced BSE - will not stop transmission in all other stages!
(B) developing a drug that kills the agent that cause BSE, and then treating with that drug all cattle that might have the disease - Possible
(C) destroying all cattle in areas where BSE occurs and raising cattle only in areas to which BSE is known not to have spread - Can can
(D) developing a vaccine that confers lifelong immunity against BSE and giving it to all cattle, destroying in due course all those animals for which the vaccine protection came too late - possible
(E) developing a diagnostic test that does identify any infected animal and destroying all animals found to be infected - possible

Dear Munda,
You are the senior among us and you are at a stage to give explanations than to expect one... :)

Anyhow.. here is what I used to come to my conclusion

First..There is point that states that the present way to diagnose is not at all good and is useless.
Second..virus can be transmitted at ANY STAGE but can be recognized at ADVANCED stage

So killing animals in advanced stage does not mean that the other animals are safe.. it can be that they are at initial stage of disease

Comone Gmat kiss
the question stem asks for the choice which does not eradicate
i have the OA
its A
Now i can deduce that
if A is the OA then the other answers are supposed to be incorrect . LOL
So If A does not eradicate then i know the other answers eradicate
GmatBlood if you understood something could you share
anyways i should have put my line of reasoning there as well , but i have been posting a lot of questions of late so havnt been able to put my thoughts there . will do it

just because i have 1900 posts doesnt make me senior . Maybe i just started early .what if i put 20 posts in 1 day to put this huge pile of posts . LOL . Most of my posts these days, dont explain but ask questions . In fact people dont need to create so many posts to be good . In fact , it shows me in bad light . So I need your explanations all the more

whats wrong with asking for an explanation . By giving an explanation , you add value to the post . All guides/ compilations of questions/ tests come with the OA . If we understood the OA , why would we post on a forum . Just to get a better explanation right .
