At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

While surgical tools are constantly being upgraded with the objective of making surgeries less invasive, a recent study has shown that in one out of every 300 cases, surgery performed using the power morcellator, a newly-developed tool used in treatment of uterine cancer, has actually resulted in the spread of the cancer in the patients body. However, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) plans to continue to allow the use of morcellators in oncological treatment as long as physicians stringently select the patients to whom such treatment is administered.
Which of the following would be most useful in assessing the CDCs plan?
(A) Whether banning the use of a surgical tool is a drawn-out process as it requires multiple levels of authorization
(B) Whether patients are aware of the risks associated with surgical procedures performed using minimally invasive techniques
(C) Whether some patients will continue to benefit from surgical treatments performed using power morcellators.
(D) Whether the effects of a surgical procedure can be determined before the procedure is performed.
(E) Whether other surgical tools currently in use have been known to cause negative side effects, but have not been banned by the CDC.

Hi! Can someone please explain why the answer is D?
Initially answered C. My reasons:
- The argument states that the CDC plans to allow the use of power morcellators in treating cancer despite its risks as long as physicians stringently selects the patients to whom it shall administer the treatment.
- Choice C assesses the benefits the patient will get specifically when using power morcellators as the basis for this stringent selection.
- Choice D provides a general statement that evaluates the argument based on whether the effects of a surgical procedure can be determined before the procedure takes place.
- Chose C because it specifically states that it evaluates based on the benefits received when using power morecellators for treatment, which is what the CDC plans to do, and not just any procedure unlike what choice D presents.
Thank you!

If CDC will select the patients on which this procedure can be used, it means that it’s possible to know the effect of the procedure based on other factors (health of patients, diseases, ...)
Therefore the most useful answer will be to the question that ask for the effects of the procedure on a specific patient, before operating on him.
