Question

It can be inferred from the passage that a study limited to patients like those mentioned in lines 99220-54827 would have which of the following advantages over the kind of study proposed by Frazier and Mosteller?
  1. It would cost less in the long term, though it would be more expensive in its initial stages.
  2. It would limit the number of variables researchers would need to consider when evaluating the treatment under study.
  3. It would help researchers to identify subgroups of patients with secondary conditions that might also be treatable.
  4. It would enable researchers to assess the value of an experimental treatment for the average patient.
  5. It would yield more data and its findings would be more accurate.
