Researchers have created electronic devices that become soft when implanted inside the body and can grip 3-D objects, such as large tissues, nerves and blood vessels. The device is stiff at room temperature so the surgeon can implant the device, but soft and flexible enough to wrap around 3-D objects so the body can behave exactly as it would without the device. Scientists from the University of Texas at Dallas and the University of Tokyo said the biologically adaptive, flexible transistors might one day help doctors learn more about what is happening inside the body, and stimulate the body for treatments.
Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the conclusion drawn by the researchers?
1. It takes a few weeks for the rigid devices to become soft after they are implanted in the body.
2. The polymers used in the device do not respond to the body’s environment.
3. The device morphs with the living tissue.
4. The device sometimes loses its electronic properties after it is implanted in the body.
5. By using an organic semiconductor, the researchers were able to cut the cost of the device.

Concluding point: the biologically adaptive, flexible transistors might one day help doctors learn more about what is happening inside the body, and stimulate the body for treatments.
The above argument hold true when there is negligible problem with the transmitter. So in order to strengthen the argument or passage we have to find a point which shows the positiveness of trasmitter.
1. It takes a few weeks for the rigid devices to become soft after they are implanted in the body. (This negates the argument, for instance if the person get some major ailment within those days when the trasmitter is still taking time to adapt to human body, it's almost useless for doctors in such scenarios, we have to find a point, which will hold trasmitter Positiveness in all extreme cases) (Incorrect)
2. The polymers used in the device do not respond to the body’s environment.(If the polymer fit inside the transmitter don't correlate with body's environment. How they are going to help doctor in analyzing all important details of body?) (Incorrect)
3. The device morphs with the living tissue.(Yes, if the devise or transmitter mixes well with the body tissues, there will not be any difficulty faced by the person who is been inserted with one, and the doctors can analysis all major, minor details of body) (Correct)
4. The device sometimes loses its electronic properties after it is implanted in the body.(If the devise stop working sometime how it will be useful for the doctors all the time?) (Incorrect)
5. By using an organic semiconductor, the researchers were able to cut the cost of the device.(Cost effectiveness is not the main issue here but the Transmitter effectiveness to correlate with human body) (Out of scope)
Answer is C

Conclusion: Scientists from the University of Texas at Dallas and the University of Tokyo said the biologically adaptive, flexible transistors might one day help doctors learn more about what is happening inside the body, and stimulate the body for treatments.
Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the conclusion drawn by the researchers?
1. It takes a few weeks for the rigid devices to become soft after they are implanted in the body.
The statement does not affect the conclusion. Incorrect
2. The polymers used in the device do not respond to the body’s environment.
This statement mentions that the device is not biologically adaptive and weakens the conclusion. Incorrect
3. The device morphs with the living tissue.
This statement strengthens the conclusion since if the device morphs (adapts or mixes completely like a living organ) with the living tissue, this will help doctors learn more about what is happening inside the body, and stimulate the body for treatments. Correct
4. The device sometimes loses its electronic properties after it is implanted in the body.
This statement weakens the conclusion since the device sometimes loses its electronics properties and hamper the study of scientists. Incorrect.
5. By using an organic semiconductor, the researchers were able to cut the cost of the device.
The conclusion is not about the cost of the device. Incorrect
IMO C
