The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the introduction of new therapeutic agents into the marketplace. Consequently, it plays a critical role in improving health care in the United States. While it is those in the academic and government research communities who engage in the long process of initial discovery and clinical testing of new therapeutic agents, it is the FDA’s role and responsibility to facilitate the transfer of new discoveries from the laboratory to the marketplace. Only after the transfer can important new therapies help patients.
Which one of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?
(A) The FDA is responsible for ensuring that any therapeutic agent that is marketed is then regulated.
(B) Before new therapeutic agents reach the marketplace they do not help patients.
(C) The research community is responsible for the excessively long testing period for new drugs, not the FDA.
(D) The FDA should work more closely with researchers to ensure that the quality of therapeutic agents is maintained.
(E) If a new medical discovery has been transferred from the laboratory to the marketplace, it will help patients.

Is the answer option E as it can be inferred that after the discovery has been approved by the FDA it will be marketed and hence it will help patients

Only after is important here. The transfer of new discoveries from the laboratory to the marketplace IS NECESSARY CONDITION for important new therapies to help patients BUT MAY NOT BE SUFFICIENT CONDITION.
(B) Before new therapeutic agents reach the marketplace they do not help patients. is CORRECT.
(E) If a new medical discovery has been transferred from the laboratory to the marketplace, it will help patients. is INCORRECT since the transfer is NOT SUFFICIENT CONDITION.
Rest of the choices CAN NOT be inferred from the passage.
IMO B
