Good Afternoon,

Can I please receive some explanation regarding question 16 as part of the Logical Reasoning Problem Set #1.

#16: "Though they soon will, patients... ." Can you please explain the question stem and also why A is correct and not E.


Thank you for your help!

Hello norvo,

We have a resolve-the-paradox thing here. Patients will waste time by asking for records...but none of them are going to ask for the records! Huh??
Answer choice A solves this by saying that there'll be a legal duty to have the records ready, even if nobody asks for them. Answer E may strengthen the second part of the paradox, by implying that patients may not ask for their records; but that does not resolve the paradox.

Hope this helps,
David
