HI anksm22,

Since this is a CR question, it really should be posted in the CR Forum (and not the SC Forum). I'll still walk you through it though.

The Facts:
-Injectable flu vaccinations are now available
-Parents are reluctant to force their children to be injected (because of the pain)
-PARENTS can be at serious risk of complications from the flu though (and are commonly injected/vaccinated).
-A new flu vaccination (nasal spray) is effective for children

The Conclusion:
-Since children rarely develop serious complications from the flu, there's NO PUBLIC HEALTH BENEFIT from the widespread vaccination of children.

The Logic:
The prompt tells us that children rarely develop serious problems from the flu, so the new nasal flu vaccination WOULD NOT lead to a PUBLIC HEALTH BENEFIT. For there to be no benefit AT ALL, we have to assume that if children get the flu, then the flu does not infect anyone else around them who might develop serious complications (such as the PARENTS of the children). Answer D matches that idea.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
