Answer:

B

Explanation:

To inhibit production of thyroid hormone.

Propylthiouracil (PTU) is an oral medication that is used to manage hyperthyroidism which is due to an overactive thyroid gland. It is an anti-thyroid drug that has a mechanism of action that is similar to methimazole (Tapazole). Graves' disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism.

Which statement will most effectively communicate your refusal?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

A: I don't want to do that so no

By asking if anyone will find out, you are basically saying yes. When saying I really shouldn't do it, you are not giving a concrete refusal. It also sounds like you maybe want to. When saying your brother wouldn't want to, you are not saying no, just stating something someone else said. A would be most effective since it is a clear and concrete refusal.
