Answer:

Answer E: undermine the traditional basis of a claim about conventional medicine’s legitimacy

Explanation:

Correct. The author discusses Eddy’s study in the context of elaborating on the question she asked in the fourth paragraph, “But how scientific is conventional ‘scientific’ medicine anyway?” This question challenges the perspective on conventional medicine described in the first paragraph, which sees conventional medicine as “scientific” and alternative medicine as “pseudoscience.” Since Eddy’s study concluded that conventional medical decision making was not based on strong scientific evidence, it provides evidence that refutes the traditional argument for the legitimacy of conventional medicine.

Question 3
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The statement is a complete sentence.

Explanation:

The question is, do you need more information to understand what is said?

I think the sentence is just fine. You get the idea of what it means immediately.

For example if you had a sentence that said

Because I practiced throwing a curve ball, I struck the batter out.

and then you followed it with

Luck had nothing to do with it.

You should understand that I got the batter out, and luck had nothing to do with it.
