However, since many patients stop taking those drugs within three days, reinfection is common in cases where those drugs are prescribed. A new antibiotic requires only a three-day course of treatment. Therefore, reinfection will probably be less common in cases where the new antibiotic is prescribed than in cases where either penicillin or erythromycin is prescribed.<\/p>\n<p>Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?<\/p>\n<p>(A) Some of the people who are allergic to penicillin are likely to be allergic to the new antibiotic.<br \/>\n(B) A course of treatment with the new antibiotic costs about the same as a course of treatment with either penicillin or erythromycin.<br \/>\n(C) The new antibiotic has been shown to be effective in eradicating bacterial infections other than strep.<br \/>\n(D) Some physicians have already begun to prescribe the new antibiotic instead of penicillin or erythromycin for the treatment of some strep infections.<br \/>\n(E) Regardless of whether they take a traditional antibiotic or the new one, most patients feel fully recovered after taking the drug for three days.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/cr-need-help-69528.html\">OA and Explanation<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Math (DS) If , is an integer? 1. is an integer. 2.
