Hi bb, MartyMurray, can you please help me with B. People not taking symptoms seriously/or easily confused with less severe medical issues - this is the issue that medical center is trying to solve by telling people about the importance of recognizing and importance.

Now options B says - "..perceived to be serious ", isn't it the problem that medical center is trying to solve. If option would be that they are not able to perceived symptoms at all, then it would be a better option, but perceived "to be serious" is exactly the issue that medical center is trying to resolve. Please help me if I am missing something here.

A study released by a major medical center has found that people who experience a stroke are frequently not treated quickly enough to prevent major complications, such as brain damage and paralysis. The study notes that while stroke symptoms can be intense, they often manifest in ways that are easily confused with less severe medical issues, leading victims to underestimate the urgency of their condition. As a result, the medical center has implemented a program requiring doctors to review educational materials with all patients who have risk factors for a stroke, stressing the importance of recognizing and acting on symptoms immediately

Which of the following, if true, would most significantly limit the extent to which the program meets its goal?

A. Most first-time stroke victims have not been previously diagnosed as having risk factors for a stroke.
B. Stroke symptoms, while readily identifiable by those around stroke victims, are rarely perceived to be serious by the stroke victims themselves.
