IMO E

Lets summarise this argument :
PREMISE1 :In the next four years, the number of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers will increase significantly worldwide.

PREMISE2 : The median age of the world’s population will increase steadily in this same period of time.

CONCL: The average compensation received by such professional will not decline but rather is likely to increase.

Are we missing any premise : ican paraphrase one assumption that inorder to increase average sal of these professionals we need to increase the sal of these professtionals treating elder people much more than others + reduce number of other professionals compared to these,in a way more docs and health workers should contribute to treating elderly and get high packages ,compensations

now lets look at A :
negate A :The increase in the number of health care workers will not be responsible for the increase in the average life span !!-->if this were the case then how does the compensation get affected ,what i compensation is irrespective of tretment results ,hence OUT ,negation test fails

Negate E :
Increase in the median age of the population will not occur in all regions of the world. =--> if this were the case will the average compensation get affected ?NO !!!what if one doc gets highly paid compared to other i some other part of world but when we take the average its the same ,the effect is invisible ... one more important point ..who says compensation depends on number of elderly people !!!


Negate D : this is irelevant to the argument OUT

We are now left with C and B :
Some how lets negate B :
b. The compensation of doctors and physical therapists who treat the elderly will not increase more than that of other health care workers -> if this were the case then also the argument will not be affected since argument says compensation of these docs should not decrease and rather increase !!

c. As a group, older people receive more attention from health care workers than do younger people.
This option seems too generic im muddled to hell

Can anyone resolve between B and C ?

for other options correct me if im wrong !!!

do we expect such teasers on DDay

Its Now Or Never

have seen that in the forum - OA = C

C ?

Could smb explain how assumption that As a group, older people receive more attention from health care workers than do younger people leads to conclusion, that nurses, etc. will get paid the same or more. more attention=more money??? Not necessary...

D does not look good either, but that would be my answer. It is the only one that has some connection to the conclusion - increasing compensation.

I will go with E, what is OA?

went with C, but it was a tough choice
