Of the many over-the-counter medications marketed for the relief of sinus headache. SinEase costs the least per dose. And SinEase is as effective per dose as the most effective of those other medications. So for relief from sinus headaches, SinEase is the best buy.

Which weakens the argument.

A. Most of the over-the-counter medications marketed for the relief of sinus headache are equally effective per dose in providing such relief.

B. Many of the over-the-counter medications marketed for the relief of sinus headache contain the same active ingredient as SinEase does.

C. People who suffer from frequent sinus headaches are strongly advised to consult a doctor before taking any over-the-counter medications.

D. An over-the-counter medication that is marketed for the relief of symptoms of head cold is identical in composition to SinEase but costs less per dose.

E. The per dose price for any given over-the-counter medication marketed for the relief of sinus headache is higher for smaller packages than it is for larger packages.

The answers will be discussed whether or not the OA is put up. It would be helpful if after the Q the OA is put up so that atleast the time spent in trying to solve this question is not wasted waiting for someone to reveal the OA. Hope this is understood by all who don't put up OA after the Q waiting for the ans to be discussed.
