IMO 3

Only option 3 says the Govt is the ONLY medical service provider. If the proposal is not implemented then it will lead to a Crisis as Rural people will hardly get Medical Supervision.

the reason for the less than enthusiastic response is that the question seems problemtic and non-GMAT-y - it has only four answer choices (instead of 5), and it's a tossup between C and D, with no real, clear cut way to decide between the two. I personally lean towards D, as it seems to indicate that the situation in the rural areas is of the utmost importance, and thus may qualify as a national crisis. But it's a big MAY - there's no indication either way, and D is the sort of generic statement that usually is not the right answer in CR questions because it is a weak, blanket answer. Thus, my vote for D is, at best, a guess, but my main issue is that the question itself is 'off', and its source suspect.

ya, this is a question from a non gmat MBA entrance test from a CAT practice company in India.The answer is D and i just cudnt make sense of the explanation they had to provide

Geva why not 2).
2) It says the govt implements only those proposals which are crucial for the well being of the people.then cant we conclude from the Ministry's proposal that , the service in the rural areas is crucial to the well being of the people.

4)In 4,does nt this go against the first line of the stimulus which says , govt service is compulsory only in case of national crisis.
If 4 is the right answer then the first line of the stimulus is not exclusive

Note that the argument's conclusion is that the proposal should not be implemented - so the argument's position is that the situation in the rural areas does NOT constitute a national crisis. We are requested to go against the argument's position and support the ministry - so our job is to show that the situation in the rural areas DOEs constitute a national crisis.

B simply does not do that - it provides a generic statement that the govt should intervene in cases of life and death, but by itself does not say that the rural situation constitutes such a case.
D does something to convince us that the rural situation is a matter of life and death, which may constitute a national crisis - which is why D supports the ministry;s proposal.

I think the mistake you're making is confusing a conclusion (government should not implement the proposal) with a premise. We don't know that the rural situation is NOT a national crisis - whether it is so or not is actually the point of the debate. Before rushing to the statements, stop and consider what you need to do - try to come up with a prediction of what the right answer should do, the look for that answer.
