Question Stats:

The increasing complexity of scientific inquiry has
led to a proliferation of multiauthored technical
articles. Reports of clinical trials involving patients
from several hospitals are usually coauthored by
physicians from each participating hospital.
Likewise, physics papers reporting results from
experiments using subsystems developed at various
laboratories generally have authors from each
laboratory.

If all of the statements above are true, which one of
the following must be true?

(A) Clinical trials involving patients from several
hospitals are never conducted solely by
physicians from just one hospital.
(B) Most reports of clinical trials involving patients
from several hospitals have multiple authors.
(C) When a technical article has multiple authors,
they are usually from different institutions.
(D) Physics papers authored by researchers from
multiple laboratories usually report results
from experiments using subsystems
developed at each laboratory.
(E) Most technical articles are authored solely by
the researchers who conducted the
experiments these articles report.

(A) Clinical trials involving patients from several

physicians from just one hospital. undesirable tone !
(B) Most reports of clinical trials involving patients
from several hospitals have multiple authors. most warrants to rethink but lets keep it for the time being
(C) When a technical article has multiple authors,
they are usually from different institutions. no where passage mentions so, reverse the argument :!:
(D) Physics papers authored by researchers from
multiple laboratories usually report results
from experiments using subsystems
developed at each laboratory. Damn, so convoluted language :!: but changes the order of argument
(E) Most technical articles are authored solely by
the researchers who conducted the
experiments these articles report.passage did not mentions about this!


A hard one took 2.28 mins to complete !

I will go with B here. B looks a restatement of the second sentence.

B is almost the same as the part of the stimulus shaded in blue.

(A) Clinical trials involving patients from several hospitals are never conducted solely by physicians from just one hospital.
Clinical trials from several hospitals are usually co-authored. Never is too strong here.
(B) Most reports of clinical trials involving patients from several hospitals have multiple authors.
The text says that 'Clinical trials from several hospitals are usually co-athored'. Bingo, so most reports are co-authored.
(C) When a technical article has multiple authors, they are usually from different institutions.
Text does not mention.
(D) Physics papers authored by researchers from multiple laboratories usually report results from experiments using subsystems developed at each laboratory.
Relationship reversed. Just because the authors are from multiple laboratories doesn't mean that they mainly use sub-sustems from each laboratory.
(E) Most technical articles are authored solely by the researchers who conducted the experiments these articles report.
Multi-authored technical articles have increased lately, according to the text. But we know nothing about the ratio/proportion between single and multiauthored.
