Recently, many medical students have been enrolling in joint M.D./J.D. programs, in which they receive both medical and law degrees at the conclusion of their studies. But since medical students primarily earn their law degree in order to protect themselves from malpractice lawsuits as doctors, we must still conclude that they are primarily doctors, and not lawyers.
Which of the following is an assumption that supports drawing the conclusion above from the reason given?
A. Some students who complete such joint programs choose to become lawyers in fields in which they do not use their medical training, while those who choose to become doctors do use legal training.
B. Certain recipients of these joint degrees are not any less diligent than others in the legal courses that they take, with notable exceptions.
C. If such joint degrees required that students focus more on their legal studies than their medical studies, students could be considered lawyers after graduation.
D. A person cannot be considered a lawyer if he or she received a law degree for purposes other than practicing the law.
E. Medical students, in doing extensive lab work, get much more practical experience about their future field than law students get about practicing law.

Step 1: Identify the argument and conclusion
- Premise: Many medical students enroll in joint M.D./J.D. programs and earn both medical and law degrees.
- Premise: These students primarily earn their law degrees to protect themselves from malpractice lawsuits.
- Conclusion: These students should still be considered doctors, not lawyers.
Step 2: Identify the assumption
The argument assumes that a person’s primary designation (doctor vs. lawyer) depends on the reason they pursued their degree, rather than simply having the degree. The assumption must support the idea that earning a law degree for reasons other than practicing law means they are not actually lawyers.
Step 3: Evaluate the answer choices
(A) Some joint-degree students become lawyers in unrelated fields, while doctors still use their legal knowledge.
- Irrelevant. This does not support the argument that their primary identity is as doctors.
(B) Some joint-degree students are diligent in their legal studies.
- Irrelevant. The argument does not depend on how hard they study law.
(C) If students focused more on law than medicine, they could be considered lawyers.
- This is a hypothetical scenario, not an assumption that directly supports the argument.
(D) A person cannot be considered a lawyer if they got a law degree for purposes other than practicing law.
- Correct. This directly supports the argument’s reasoning that because these students earned law degrees only to protect themselves, they are not actually lawyers.
(E) Medical students get more practical experience in their field than law students do.
- Irrelevant. The argument does not compare the practical experience of doctors and lawyers.
