Based on the passage:
A majority of the TB infected in India are poor and lack sufficient nutrition, suitable housing and have little understanding of prevention. TB then devastates families, makes the poor poorer, particularly affects women and children, and leads to ostracisation and loss of employment. The truth is that even if TB does not kill them, hunger and poverty will. Another truth is that deep-seated stigma, lack of counselling, expensive treatment and lack of adequate support from providers and family, coupled with torturous side-effects demotivate patients to continue treatment — with disastrous health consequences.

Which one of the following is the most logical, rational and crucial message conveyed by the above passage?

Which one of the following is the most logical, rational and crucial message conveyed by the above passage?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Curing TB requires more than diagnosis and medical treatment. The passage highlights that TB affects the poor who lack nutrition, housing, and awareness. It emphasizes that hunger, poverty, deep-seated stigma, lack of counselling, expensive treatment, and family support issues cause patients to drop out of treatment, leading to disastrous consequences. Thus, medical treatment and diagnosis alone are insufficient; curing TB requires addressing the multifaceted socio-economic, nutritional, and psychological barriers faced by patients. This makes option 2 the most logical, rational, and crucial message conveyed by the passage.
