      Question

      Read the passage below and determine which of the

      following statements can be correctly inferred from the text. Passage: In the mid-1940s, the United Kingdom established the National Health Service (NHS), a central pillar of the post-war welfare state intended to provide healthcare that was "free at the point of use." While the initiative successfully centralized medical care and dramatically improved national health outcomes, it required a massive expansion of the state’s administrative apparatus. Proponents hailed it as a triumph of social equality, but detractors argued that the centralized model stifled medical innovation and created long-term fiscal burdens for the taxpayer. Statements: I. The establishment of the NHS resulted in the immediate elimination of all private medical practices in the United Kingdom. II. The creation of the NHS represented a significant increase in the scale of government administration. III. There was a segment of the population that believed the centralized healthcare model hindered progress in medical research.
      A Only I and II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only II and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Only I and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D All I, II, and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Only I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Statement I (False): This mirrors your "completely ended the Depression" logic. The passage states that the NHS centralized care and improved outcomes, but it never claims that private practice was "immediately eliminated." Inferring a total "elimination" without explicit text is an overreach. Statement II (True): This mirrors your "turning point in government involvement" logic. The passage explicitly states that the initiative "required a massive expansion of the state’s administrative apparatus," which confirms an increase in government scale. Statement III (True): This mirrors your "critics believed it harmed private-sector growth" logic. The text mentions that "detractors argued that the centralized model stifled medical innovation." Stifling innovation is synonymous with hindering progress in research.
