Advertisemnet :
For sinus pain, three out of four hospitals give their patients Novex. So when you wnat the most effeective painkiller for sinus pain, Novex is the one to choose.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermine the advertisement's argument?

A) Some competign brands of painkillers are intened to reduce other kinds of pain in addition to sinus pain.

B) Many hostpials that do not usually use Noves will do so for those patients who cannot tolerate the drug the hospitals usually use.

C) Many drug manufacturers increase sales of their products to hospitals by selling these products to the hospitals at the lowest price the manifacturers can afford.

D) Unlike some competing brands of painkillers. Novex is available from pharmacies without a doctor's prescription.

E) In climical trials, Novex has been found to be more effective than competing barnd of panikillers that have been on the market longer than Novex.

答案是C
我可以理解pirce是造成開藥的原因(他因造此果)。但是我覺得他沒有特別寫出Novex，這樣不會 overgeneralization嗎?
我本來是選D, 因為我覺得賣得特別好是因為它的 availability很高，但是後來想想這跟醫院開藥好像關係不大。不過還是不理解為什麼選C

簡單的說
C如果成立
則證明醫院開藥是因為成本因素
並不是藥物本身有效

謝謝!

確認一下，是因為Novex包含在Many drug manufacturers 裡所以以大含小是可以的是嗎？
