Hi
chetan2u /
daagh ,
Please help me in this question. I am not able to negate E.
Breaking down argument-
Fact 1. Until now, only injectable vaccines against influenza have been available.
Fact 2. Parents are reluctant to subject children to the pain of injections.
Fact 3. But adults, who are at
risk of serious complications from influenza, are commonly vaccinated.
Fact 4. A new influenza vaccine, administered painlessly in a nasal spray, is effective for children.
Until now only facts are given. Now
Conclusion- No significant public health benefit would result from widespread vaccination of children using the nasal spray.
WHYBecause (Premise)- since children
seldom develop serious complications from influenza
Now lets read it in reverse manner-
Premise- since children
seldom develop serious complications from influenza
GAP- ______________________________________
Conclusion- No significant public health benefit would result from widespread vaccination of children using the nasal spray.
So now we need to fill this gap to this make argument strong.
__________________________________________________________
Option D-
A new influenza vaccine, administered painlessly in a nasal spray, is effective for children
Premise- since children
seldom develop serious complications from influenza
GAP-
Adults do not contract influenza primarily from children who have influenzaNegating D-
Adults do notcontract influenza primarily from children who have influenzaConclusion- No significant public health benefit would result from widespread vaccination of children using the nasal spray.
Option D makes the argument strong PERFECT. Hence OA.
__________________________________________________________
Now lets look at option E as well
Before that I would like to clarify that in option E where
"MOT" is written actually its
"NOT"Some people tried to change it with
"MOST" But its wrongA new influenza vaccine, administered painlessly in a nasal spray, is effective for children
Premise- since children
seldom develop serious complications from influenza
GAP-
The nasal spray vaccine is not effective when administered to adultsNegating E-
The nasal spray vaccine is noteffective when administered to adults[Conclusion- No significant public health benefit would result from widespread vaccination of children using the nasal spray.
A new influenza vaccine, administered painlessly in a nasal spray, is effective for children
since children seldom develop serious complications from influenza
The nasal spray vaccine is not effective when administered to adults.
Therefore, No significant public health benefit would result from widespread vaccination of children using the nasal spray.
This option is also working fine.
Where is my reasoning wrong..
Please assist.
