The argument begins with an explanation of the pharmacists' position; doctors should not sell medicine to patients due to the risk of over prescribing them. All seems well until we get to our speaker’s position. Rather than responding to the overprescription issue, the patient attacks the speaker and their motives for having that opinion. On the basis of those motives, our patient concludes that we can’t trust what the pharmacists are saying.
The answer to a method of reasoning question is going to exist in the evidence or explanation of our conclusion. One word we can use to summarize this stimulus would be “interests.” Using this prediction can help us effectively narrow down the answer choices.
Answer Choice (A) This answer choice is incorrect because we are not actually refuting any of the pharmacists’ claims - we just cannot trust the opinion of that group entirely.
Correct Answer Choice (B) This answer choice lines up well with our prediction, confirming our speaker is attacking their opponent rather than the basis of their argument. This is our correct answer!
Answer Choice (C) Similar to answer choice A, we can eliminate this one based on the scope. Rather than refuting the argument they are faced with, our patient pursues a personal attack.
Answer Choice (D) We don’t have any information on what the general public thinks about all this. So, we can eliminate this answer choice.
Answer Choice (E) While our prediction regards a personal attack, this answer choice attacks the qualification of the pharmacist group. This is not what we are looking for.
