Expression of Ideas Difficulty: Medium

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

  • When medical students mention their patients on social media, they may violate patient confidentiality.
  • Terry Kind led a study to determine how many medical schools have student policies that mention social media use.
  • Kind and her team reviewed 132 medical school websites, examining publicly available student policies.
  • Only thirteen medical schools had guidelines that explicitly mention social media, and only five defined what constitutes acceptable social media use.

The student wants to emphasize the study’s methodology. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

Explanation

Choice B is the best answer. The sentence effectively emphasizes Kind’s methodology: examining the student policies of 132 medical schools for guidelines about student social media use.

Choice A is incorrect. The sentence specifies how many medical schools’ student policies are available online; it doesn’t emphasize the study’s methodology. Choice C is incorrect. The sentence emphasizes the study’s results, not the study’s methodology. Choice D is incorrect. The sentence emphasizes the aim of the study, not the study’s methodology.
