Clinician: Patients with immune system disorders are usually treated with a class of drugs that, unfortunately, increase the patient's risk of developing osteoporosis, a bone-loss disease. So these patients take another drug that helps to preserve existing bone. Since a drug that enhances the growth of new bone cells has now become available, these patients should take this new drug in addition to the drug that helps to preserve existing bone.
Which one of the following would be most useful to know in order to evaluate the clinician's argument?
A: How large is the class of drugs that increase the risk of developing osteoporosis?
B: Why are immune system disorders treated with drugs that increase the risk of developing osteoporosis?
C: Is the new drug more expensive than the drug that helps to preserve existing bone?
D: How long has the drug that helps to preserve existing bone been in use?
E: To what extent does the new drug retain its efficacy when used in combination with the other drugs?

In its coverage of a controversy regarding a proposal to build a new freeway, a television news program showed interviews with several people who would be affected by the proposed freeway. Of the interviews shown, those conducted with people against the new freeway outnumbered those conducted with people for it two to one. The television program is therefore biased against the proposed freeway.
A: Most of the people who watched the program were aware of the freeway controversy beforehand.
B: Most viewers of television news programs do not expect those programs to be completely free of bias.
C: In the interviews, the people against the new freeway expressed their opinions with more emotion than the people for the freeway did.
D: Before the program aired, over twice as many people were against building the freeway than were in favor of it.
E: The business interests of the television station that produced the program would be harmed by the construction of a new freeway.

Birds and mammals can be infected with West Nile virus only through mosquito bites. Mosquitoes, in turn, become infected with the virus when they bite certain infected birds or mammals. The virus was originally detected in northern Africa and spread to North America in the 1990s. Humans sometimes catch West Nile virus, but the virus never becomes abundant enough in human blood to infect a mosquito.
The statements above, if true, most strongly support which one of the following?
A: West Nile virus will never be a common disease among humans.
B: West Nile virus is most common in those parts of North America with the highest density of mosquitoes.
C: Some people who become infected with West Nile virus never show symptoms of illness.
D: West Nile virus infects more people in northern Africa than it does in North America.
E: West Nile virus was not carried to North America via an infected person.

In a recent study of stroke patients, those who exhibited continuing deterioration of the nerve cells in the brain after the stroke also exhibited the highest levels of the protein glutamate in their blood. Glutamate, which functions within nerve cells as a neurotransmitter, can kill surrounding nerve cells if it leaks from damaged or oxygen-starved nerve cells. Thus glutamate leaking from damaged or oxygen-starved nerve cells is a cause of long-term brain damage resulting from strokes.
Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
A: Any neurotransmitter that leaks from a damaged or oxygen-starved nerve cell will damage surrounding nerve cells.
B: Stroke patients exhibit a wide variety of abnormal chemical levels in their blood.
C: Glutamate is the only neurotransmitter that leaks from oxygen-starved or physically damaged nerve cells.
D: Leakage from damaged or oxygen-starved nerve cells is the only possible source of glutamate in the blood.
E: Nerve cells can suffer enough damage to leak glutamate without being destroyed themselves.

Certain bacteria that produce hydrogen sulfide as a waste product would die if directly exposed to oxygen. The hydrogen sulfide reacts with oxygen, removing it and so preventing it from harming the bacteria. Furthermore, the hydrogen sulfide tends to kill other organisms in the area, thereby providing the bacteria with a source of food. As a result, a dense colony of these bacteria produces for itself an environment in which it can continue to thrive indefinitely.
Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the information above?
A: A dense colony of the bacteria can indefinitely continue to produce enough hydrogen sulfide to kill other organisms in the area and to prevent oxygen from harming the bacteria.
B: The hydrogen sulfide produced by the bacteria kills other organisms in the area by reacting with and removing oxygen.
C: Most organisms, if killed by the hydrogen sulfide produced by the bacteria, can provide a source of food for the bacteria.
D: The bacteria can continue to thrive indefinitely only in an environment in which the hydrogen sulfide they produce has removed all oxygen and killed other organisms in the area.
E: If any colony of bacteria produces hydrogen sulfide as a waste product, it thereby ensures that it is both provided with a source of food and protected from harm by oxygen.
