Difficulty—

Despite the lingering popularity of alternative health treatments for musculoskeletal injuries, such as acupuncture and chiropractic manipulation, it is quiet clear that the curative prowess of such so called remedies is questionable. In a recent survey of people who had tried at least one respondents reported that the thrapiest had little, if any, curative impact. People, with such injuries are, thus, well advised to forego alternative therapies in favor of traditional, interventive methods of treatment.

The above argument assumes that:

A. Other alternative therapies, such as aromatherapy, are not more effective than acupuncture or chiropractic medicine.
B. Traditional methods of treatment have a higher success rate than that of alternative therapies.
C. The survey participants had no reservations about the therapy methods they chose prior to receiving treatment.
D. No respondent had used any form of traditional treatment prior to the survey.
E. A combination of traditinoal and alternative therapies is the most optimal way to treat musculoskeletal aliments.

Premise: People who had tried at least one respondents reported that the therapist had little if any, curative impact.

Conclusion: People with musculoskeletal injuries are advised to forego alternative therapies in favor of traditional, interventive method of treatment.

Option A - Incorrect
The effectiveness of aromatherapy over acupuncture or chiropractic medicine is not relevant to this argument because this is not what the argument is about.

Option B - Correct
This is true. In reference to the passage, people with musculoskeletal injuries are advised to forego alternative therapies in favor of traditional, interventive method of treatment which tends to be more effective and have more success rate than alternative therapies.

Option C - Incorrect
This claim is not in harmony with the claim "it is quite clear that the curative prowess of such so-called remedies is QUESTIONABLE" in the passage. The phrase in the quote indicates that the respondents have reservations about the therapy methods before carrying out their survey.

Option D - Incorrect
This claim wasn't stated in the argument. Hence, we can't know whether or not the respondents had used any form of traditional treatment to the survey. So, this is false.

Option E - Incorrect
This proves more to be false claim with respect to the passage because people with musculoskeletal injuries were advised to foregone alternative therapies in favor of traditional, interventive method of treatment for effective treatment. So, there is no statement from the passage to backup this claim that the combination of both treatment methods is the most effective way to treat musculoskeletal ailments. It is, therefore not true.


Thanks.
