During the SARS days, about 23,500 doctors who had treated SARS sufferers died and about 23,670 doctors who had not engaged in treatment for SARS sufferers died. On the basis of those figures, it can be concluded that it was not much more dangerous to participate in SARS treatment during the SARS day than it was not to participate in SARS treatment.
Which of the following would reveal most clearly the absurdity of the conclusion drawn above?
A. Counting deaths among doctors who had participated in SARS treatment in addition to deaths among doctors who had not participated in SARS treatment
B. Expressing the difference between the numbers of deaths among doctors who had treated SARS sufferers and doctors who had not treated SARS suffers as a percentage of the total number of deaths
C. Separating deaths caused by accidents during the treatment to SARS suffers from deaths caused by infect of SARS suffers.
D. Comparing death rates per thousand members of each group rather than comparing total numbers of deaths
E. Comparing deaths caused by accidents in the United States to deaths caused by infect in treating SARS suffers.
Which of the following would reveal most clearly the absurdity of the conclusion drawn above?

it cant weakens argument
B. Expressing the difference between the numbers of deaths among doctors who had treated SARS sufferers and doctors who had not treated SARS suffers as a percentage of the total number of deaths Incorrect
it can simply express the death difference in percentage
C. Separating deaths caused by accidents during the treatment to SARS suffers from deaths caused by infect of SARS suffers. Incorrect
deaths caused by accidents is irrelevant
D. Comparing death rates per thousand members of each group rather than comparing total numbers of deaths Correct
if this can possible, can say whether participate in SARS treatment is dangerous
E. Comparing deaths caused by accidents in the United States to deaths caused by infect in treating SARS suffers. Incorrect
deaths caused by accidents is irrelevant

Which of the following would reveal most clearly the absurdity of the conclusion drawn above?
A. Counting deaths among doctors who had participated in SARS treatment in addition to deaths among doctors who had not participated in SARS treatment
Addition of the deaths will not clear the absurdity of the conclusion. OUT
B. Expressing the difference between the numbers of deaths among doctors who had treated SARS sufferers and doctors who had not treated SARS suffers as a percentage of the total number of deaths
Differeance of the deaths in % will not help to clear the absurdity of the conclusion. OUT
C. Separating deaths caused by accidents during the treatment to SARS suffers from deaths caused by infect of SARS suffers.
This is not in line with argument. OUT
D. Comparing death rates per thousand members of each group rather than comparing total numbers of deaths
This will help to get the figure in %/ratio. It will clear the actual impact of SARS to death of doctors. KEEP IT
E. Comparing deaths caused by accidents in the United States to deaths caused by infect in treating SARS suffers.
The same is applicable to deaths of doctors not treating SARS. OUT
IMO D
