    Good Luck!

    Heroin and cocaine are not the only illegal drugs with a terrible impact on global health. Counterfeit medicines can also do damage. Some of these fakes contain potentially toxic chemicals, and when taken to treat a disease they can kill. Others are like homeopathic remedies – while harmless in themselves, as they contain no active ingredients, they do not work as advertised. Efforts to tackle drug crime have prioritised illegal drugs and so have not dealt with crimes that are just as serious. This should now be remedied.

    1. Which one of the following best expresses the main conclusion of the above passage?
    • 0
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is E.

    Answer A is incorrect because cocaine and heroin are used as a comparison point to emphasise the damage counterfeit meds can do, which supports the main conclusion (E), eliminate A. Answer B is given by the first sentence of the passage, but gives support to the overall argument so is not the main conclusion. Answer C is indicated in the fourth sentence, but is not the main focus of the passage, so eliminate C. Answer D is given in the third sentence, and forms part of the argument by providing another reason for why E should be done.
