Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=11562)
The correct answer choice is (B)
The justification for the correct answer can be found on:
(lines 54-59)
Diphtheria and tuberculosis are provided as examples of pathogens which, in despite being directly transmitted, are extremely virulent as a result of their ability to survive for weeks or months outside the host. This is reflected perfectly in correct answer choice (B).
Answer choices (A) and (D) are both opposite answers, and answer choices (C) and (E) are inaccurate, since diphtheria and tuberculosis are presented as examples of pathogens that are very virulent regardless of the fact that they are directly transmitted.
