An additional note to (D)
The reasoning Quick Silver gave below is correct. The bigger flaw in the argument is that they were surveying people who already bought video conferencing equipment. If they already bought video conferencing equipment, then presumably they needed video conferencing equipment. That's like saying most people could use a nice new set of golf clubs because we survey people who already owned golf clubs and they said it was a great purchase.
Medical school professor: Most malpractice suits arise out of patients’ perceptions that their doctors are acting negligently or carelessly. Many doctors now regard medicine as a science rather than an art, and are less compassionate as a result. Harried doctors sometimes treat patients rudely, discourage them from asking questions, or patronize them. Lawsuits could be avoided if doctors learned to listen better to patients. Unfortunately, certain economic incentives encourage doctors to treat patients rudely.
Summary
A Medical School Professor explains that most malpractice suits arise because patients believe their doctor is acting negligently or carelessly. Many doctors are less compassionate now because they view medicine as a science. If doctors learned to listen to their patients better, lawsuits could be avoided. However, economic incentives encourage doctors to be rude.
Strongly Supported Conclusions
Some economic incentives result in lawsuits against doctors
Doctors could reduce the amount of lawsuits they face by being better listeners
A
Economic incentives to treat patients rudely are the main cause of doctors being sued for malpractice.
This is too strong to support. The stimulus says that economic incentives are *a* factor, but nothing says it is the *sole* factor
B
The economic incentives in the health care system encourage doctors to regard medicine as a science rather than as an art.
The stimulus only says that economic incentives encourage doctors to treat their patients rudely. The fact that doctors view medicine as a science is an independent factor (they do not impact each other)
C
Malpractice suits brought against doctors are, for the most part, unjustified.
This is too strong to support. The stimulus does not say anything about whether or not malpractice suits are justified.
D
The scientific outlook in medicine should be replaced by an entirely different approach to medicine.
This is far too strong to support. You need to make a bunch of unwarranted assumptions about the author’s POV to make this work.
E
Doctors foster, by their actions, the perception that they do not really care about their patients.
The stimulus says that many doctors view medicine as a science rather than an art, which makes them less compassionate. Thus, this statement is easily supported.
