4、Since 1990 the percentage of bacterial sinus infections in Aqadestan that are resistant to the antibiotic perxicillin has increased substantially. Bacteria can quickly develop resistance to an antibiotic when it is prescribed indiscriminately or when patients fail to take it as prescribed. Since perxicillin has not been indiscriminately prescribed, health officials hypothesize that the increase in perxicillin-resistant sinus infections is largely due to patients' failure to take this medication as prescribed. Which of the following, if true of Aqadestan, provides most support for the health officials' hypothesis?
A.Resistance to several other commonly prescribed antibiotics has not increased
since 1990 in Aqadestan.
B.A large number of Aqadestanis never seek medical help
when they have a sinus infection.
C.When it first became available, perxicillin
was much more effective in treating bacterial sinus infections than any other
antibiotic used for such infections at the time.
D.Many patients who take
perxicillin experience severe side effects within the first few days of their
prescribed regimen.
E.Aqadestani health clinics provide antibiotics to their
patients at cost.

6、Rats injected with morphine exhibit decreased activity of the immune system, the bodily system that fights off infections. These same rats exhibited heightened blood level
s of corticosteroids, chemicals secreted by the adrenal glands. Since corticosteroids can interfere with immune-system activity, scientists hypothesized that the way morphine reduces immune responses in rats is by stimulating the adrenal glands to secrete additional corticosteroids into the bloodstream. Which of the following experiments would yield the most useful results for evaluating the scientists' hypothesis?
A.Injecting morphine into
rats that already have heightened blood levels of corticosteroids and then
observing their new blood levels of corticosteroids
B.Testing the level of
immune-system activity of rats, removing their adrenal glands, and then testing
the rats' immune-system activity levels again
C.Injecting rats with
corticosteroids and then observing how many of the rats contracted infections
D.Removing the adrenal glands of rats, injecting the rats with morphine, and
then testing the level of the rats' immune-system responses
E.Injecting rats
with a drug that stimulates immune-system activity and then observing the level
of corticosteroids in their bloodstreams
