GMATPrep - Symptoms

[California4jx]

I couldnt get the rationale behind the OA - like to hear your thoughts and rationales supporting your answer.

[anju]

Is it C?

[California4jx]

Yes, OA: C

how come ?

[anju]

Yes, OA: C

how come ?

Since the stem is abt most strongly supported category, the ans has to be from the stimulus.

Let's look at the options:
A - stimulus does not mention anything about poisoning other than arsenic poisoning - OUT OF SCOPE
B - stimulus does not mention abt how Taylor's death happened - OUT
D - No mention in teh stimulus that the sympton grew severe each day - OUT
E - Opposite of what is mentioned in the stimulus. AS per the stimulus, atrsenic posion victim lives for more than a day after ingesting a lethal dose of poison
C - AS per stimulus, Taylor's symptons are consistent with arsenic poisioning but the levels of arsenic that remain in the bones are much lower than in victims with arsenic poisoning - which means that the symptons although consistent with as that of arsenic poisoning were not caused by lethal dose of arseni.

I hope this helps!
