1. Paragraph E
The main idea of this paragraph is that although a huge amount of money is spent on drug promotion, it’s hard to tell if the money is well spent or not. To be more specific, the writer also gives an example of a doctor who has received gifts from those companies, but this fact does not influence his decision in prescribing medicine. So, the correct heading for this paragraph is “Not all doctors are persuaded”
=> ANSWER: i
1. Paragraph F
This paragraph states that a study conducted by the University of Washington has shown the effectiveness of using free drug samples to influence doctors‟ precription habits. “The conclusion was that the availability of samples led them to dispense and prescribe drugs that differed from their preferred drug choice.” So, the correct heading for this paragraph is “Research shows that promotion works”
+ research = a study
=> ANSWER: vii
1. Paragraph G
The main idea of this paragraph is that “patients are the ones who pay – in the form of sky-rocketing prescription prices” and that pharmaceutical companies will continue to find ways to increase sales and make profits. So, the correct heading for this paragraph is “Who really pays for doctors‟ free gifts?”
=> ANSWER:: x
Questions 8-13: YES/NO/NOT GIVEN
1. Sales reps like Kim Schaefer work to a very limited budget Keywords: sales rep, Kim Schaefer, budget
In paragraphs A and B, in which Kim Schaefer is mentioned, the writer gives some examples of gifts that sales reps can offer to doctors. These gifts might include: “a trip to Florida”, “a pair of tickets for a NY musical”, “a buget that could buy lunches and dinners for a small country”, “$1000 honoraria”, etc. So the budget for sales reps is actually huge, not limited.
