SECTION 4 · lr

A bacterial species will develop greater resistance within a few years to any antibiotics used against it. The only exception to this inevitable development of greater resistance is when the antibiotics eliminates the bacterial species completely. But, no single antibiotic now on the market can eliminate bacterial species X completely.

If any single antibiotic currently on the market is used against bacterial species X, the species will develop greater resistance against that antibiotic.

Unsupported. The stimulus tells us about antibiotics currently on the market. We don’t know about future antibiotics and their ability to kill bacterial species X completely.

Strongly supported. We know no antibiotic currently on the market can kill X completely. So, if used against X, X will develop a resistance against that currently-on-the-market antibiotic.

Unsupported. We don’t know that this is the only way. Maybe another way is to develop a new antibiotic that can kill X completely. The stimulus doesn’t suggest this can’t be done.

Unsupported. The stimulus allows us to conclude that X will develop greater resistance to any currently-on-the-market antibiotic used against it. This doesn’t imply anything about the level of danger or harm (virulence) posed by X and whether it will change.

Unsupported. We don’t know whether any antibiotics have ever been tried against X.
