How many reasons for diagnosis are listed in the material?

• A. 5
• B. 7
• C. 6
• D. 4

Answer: (B)

This question checks your ability to extract and count explicit items from the material. When a text lists reasons for a diagnosis, you should identify each distinct reason that the author clearly labels as such and tally them as separate items. If the material provides seven clearly separated reasons, that exact count is what the question is asking for, making seven the best answer.

To help, look for a straightforward list or bullet points where each item is a separate reason for the diagnosis, and avoid counting introductory notes, examples, or subpoints that aren’t stated as individual reasons. The other counts would require skipping or double-counting items, which isn’t supported by the content.
