From the above information, which of the following statements can be reasonably inferred?

(A) A stroke survivor that is given a detailed exercise plan and consults her physician about the plan will regain full dexterity in her extremities.
(B) If a stroke survivor is not given an exercise plan and does not consult with a doctor, she will not regain dexterity in her extremities.
(C) Stroke survivors who are given an exercise routine and consult with a doctor about that routine will sometimes regain dexterity in their extremities.
(D) Being given an exercise routine and having a consultation with a doctor about the routine is the best way to help a stroke survivor regain dexterity in their extremities.
(E) Only being given an exercise routine is necessary to regenerate dexterity in the extremities of seniors who have suffered a stroke.

Annie28 bishalpodder It's true that the argument didn't say "sometimes", but it said that exercise "helps". Helping something happen is not the same as definitely causing it to happen.

A cannot be the inferred because Stimulus says that exercise helps stroke survivors. It does not mean exercise will (surely/certainly) helps.

Hope that helps :-)

Nowhere in the argument has it been mentioned about gaining "full" dexterity. Choice A is too extreme.

Princeton Review Explanation:

Answer: (C)

This is an inference question, so evaluate the passage and then look for an answer choice that can be reasonably inferred from the information. The passage states that a daily exercise regimen helps stroke survivors regain dexterity in their extremities and that survivors who are given an exercise routine and who have a consultation with a doctor about the routine have been shown to be effective at getting patients to exercise daily. So it can be inferred that if a survivor is given a routine and consults with a doctor, they are more likely to exercise daily, which will help them regain dexterity.

Choice (A) is an example of extreme language. The phrasing will regain full dexterity is not promised in the information in the passage, as the passage only states that a routine and consultations may help a survivor exercise more. Eliminate (A).

Choice (B) is also an example of extreme language. There is no way to discern from the information provided that a strong survivor would not regain dexterity without an exercise routine and a consultation, so eliminate (B).

Choice (C) is a reasonable inference to make from the information in the passage so keep (C).

Choice (D) also contains the extreme language best way. The information does not compare this method with any other method so eliminate (D).

Choice (E) is recycled language and does not address consulting with a doctor so eliminate (E).

The correct answer is (C).
