Scientists have not yet concluded whether a newly discovered virus is airborne, or if it can only be transmitted through infected blood. If it does prove to be airborne, they fear that hundreds of people may have already been infected. Since it is almost impossible to detect in its early stages, it is possible the virus may spread rapidly. Therefore, if it is an airborne virus, it will be almost impossible _________.
Which of the following statements best completes the paragraph above?
to tell how many people have been exposed to the virus
to stop its spread
to find a cure
to detect
to employ research experts

B) to stop its spread
Once scientists find a method, they will be able to stop its further spread.
C) to find a cure
It doesn't say the scientists cannot find a cure.
D) to detect
The passage says it is tough to detect the virus in its early stages, but it is not completely undetectable
E) to employ research experts
Irrelevant.
A) to tell how many people have been exposed to the virus
Correct Answer. The virus is almost impossible to detect in its early stages so the scientists will not know the number of people already exposed to the virus until it reaches a later stage.

i also went with the B. if they can't detect it, they can't stop its spread (in case of airborne transmission)
why scientist would be interested in finding the numbers of people exposed to virus. The topic discuses .. airborne v/s blood transmission
