Drug A is used as a painkiller and has been found to be very effective. But it also causes some nausea. Obviously, a patient would not expect to relieve pain at the expense of feeling nauseated. Therefore, one cannot take drug A at all.
Which of the following is similar in reasoning as the above stated argument?
Which of the following is similar in reasoning as the above stated argument?
A. A student wants to score good marks in the test and wants to see the latest batman movie as well. He can do so if he can manage his time well.
B. A researcher, who wants to make a breakthrough in eugenics, should avoid wasting time taking trials as by doing so he might not get favorable results.
C. A project manager who wastes time, especially when he has to meet project timelines, usually fails to complete a project on time.
D. A runner, who runs large distances, might win a city marathon as he has already built the stamina for long races.
E. A student, who wants to get good grades but is not willing to study, cannot achieve good grades.

The argument says that although drug A achieves its main goal, pain relief, it also has an undesirable side effect. Because the patient does not want that side effect, the argument concludes that the drug must not be taken at all. I think the core move is rejecting a necessary means because of an unwanted consequence, and then declaring the goal unattainable.
A. This does not match the reasoning. It presents a way to achieve two goals together, not a rejection of a means due to a drawback.
B. I do not think this is similar. It warns against wasting time because of uncertainty, but it does not show the same all-or-nothing rejection logic.
C. This is a simple cause–effect statement. It does not involve refusing a necessary action and then concluding failure.
D. This is purely positive reasoning. It links preparation to possible success, with no rejection or tradeoff.
E. This mirrors the structure. The student wants good grades but rejects studying, which is necessary to achieve that goal, and therefore cannot achieve good grades. The logic pattern is the same as rejecting drug A because of its side effect and then concluding pain relief is impossible.
