DISCUSSION: You’ll want to match the correct answer to a statement from the passage. Anything less is guessing.
___________
- Line 5 says medical students are so busy that they might not learn empathy. But they might still have time for ethics courses. The problem is that those courses don’t do enough (lines 20-21).
- Narrative literature doesn’t necessary mean fiction. You can tell a real story and use it for ethical training. It may be even more effective to use a real situation to teach ethics. The most important thing is that the lesson is in the form of a story.
- The passage was recommending narrative literature. Practical experience might help too, but it’s never addressed.
- Lines 17-19 show that abstract ethics courses have some value. The author never says we should use only narrative ethics. They just think we need more narrative.
- CORRECT. Doctors get lots of scientific training, and they already get abstract ethical training (line 9 and lines 15-17). But lines 4-5 show that empathy is still a challenge; so doctors need another kind of preparation.
