Reading the passage
Our main-point prediction gives us the purpose: recommend narrative literature as a way to improve medical ethics training. The author argues why schools should use this approach. We aren't yet getting instructions for setting up a course.
Working the answers
- A
How to implement it would involve decisions such as choosing readings or organizing assignments. The author explains why the approach could help, not how schools should put it into practice.
- B
Counterproductive means making the desired result harder to achieve. We know traditional training isn't enough, but that doesn't establish that it actively harms empathetic relationships. This also omits the proposed improvement.
- C
Situational ethics is an extreme the proposal need not lead to. We don't examine stories that foreshadow its pitfalls. This puts familiar terms into a relationship the author never describes.
- DCorrect
Narrative-based instruction is the proposed approach, and empathy is the human dimension it aims to preserve. The opening's concern about becoming disconnected from patients leads to the final promise of a deeper understanding of human nature.
- E
The value of ethics education helps explain why the topic matters. The purpose is more specific: advocate a particular approach, with reasons it can do what abstract theorizing alone doesn't.
