Hey,

Please specify the source of the question.

To answer your question, with draw a conclusion CRs, you have to select an answer that can be directly inferred from the given statements. This means that the answer can be something very obvious or trivial or even silly at times.

If you specify the source, we can discuss this question further

Regards

I think Answer should be B as it clearly shows that Physician are advising the patients to go for the checkup instead of just popping a pill and solving the problem of pain

IMO: E, Often in strengthen the Argument the answer choice tends to be an abstract simplification of the inherent meaning of the argument.

[problem text deleted at the request of PowerScore, copyright owner]
The argument has no premise to this effect.

This one's tricky because there can be multiple interpretations of the above statement wrt the premises. Do we construe the pain to be a headache or a different type of pain? In "some cases" leave too much to interpret making it a very generic and abstract statement.


[problem text deleted at the request of PowerScore, copyright owner]
The argument has no premise to this effect.

[problem text deleted at the request of PowerScore, copyright owner]
The argument has no premise to this effect. Infact none of the premises talk about any other physical symptoms at all.

[problem text deleted at the request of PowerScore, copyright owner]
IMO this highlights correctly the intent of the physician as described in premise "Since such headaches
are often symptomatic of more serious maladies
," the intent being that temporary relief is not effective relief.

Please let me know your thoughts.

It is clear (E).

"Support" Questions are inference questions.

That is any option that is not stated in the argument, but can be inferred from the argument should be correct.

I think the answer should be A. Because the headache may caused by brain tumur, so if people use the drug to relief the headache, they might ignore the fact that they have brain tumurs and lose the chance for correct therapy.

I can't see why it should be E, the paragraph clearly implies that OTC medicines provides relief to people with headaches regardless of the underlying cause.
Option B provides the best conclusion supporting the statement, since in SOME cases a headache can be the symptom of a serious underlying reason, and you would be better off visiting a doctor than taking pain relief medicine

I don't think that E is correct. The author clearly states "However, doctors warn against employment of this simple strategy for recurring
or particularly long-lasting headaches, even if such medication can provide relief." It means that the medicine is able to provide some relief from the headache. Although it may point to a more serious malady is another issue.
It cannot be B as well. "In some cases physicians advise against seeking immediate relief from pain". Doctors tell the patients to don't go for such short-term measures of relief prevention. They may be saying to consult a physician and understand the long term problems. But never do they advice to not to seek relief from such immediate pain. The means to relieve the pain may be different from the use of such medicines.
What is the OA? Tutors, provide your opinion.

If we have to pick an answer, i'd go with B. The argument says in the first sentence that it is possible to do X. The second sentence says that doctors sometimes advise against X. B says that sometimes physicians advise against X..
