Question
itter c. 450 - 400 bc. it is translated here by w. h. s. jones in hippocrates collected works i, published by harvard university press 1868. the art of medicine would never have been discovered to begin with, nor would any medical research have been conducted - for there would have been no need for medicine - if sick men had profited by the same mode of living and regimen as the food, drink and mode of living of men in health, and if there had been no other things for the sick better than these. but the fact is that sheer necessity has caused men to seek and to find medicine, because sick men did not, and do not, profit by the same regimen as do men in health. to trace the matter yet further back, i hold that not even the mode of living and nourishment enjoyed at the present time by men in health would have been discovered, had a man been satisfied with the same food and drink as satisfy an ox, a horse, and every animal save man, for example the products of the earth - fruits, wood and grass. for on these they are nourished, grow, and live without pain, having no need at all of any other kind of living. yet i am of the opinion that to begin with man also used this sort of nourishment. our present ways of living have, i think, been discovered and elaborated during a long period of time. for many and terrible were the sufferings of men from strong and brutish living when they partook of crude foods. 11. the author would likely agree that men discovered medicine because a) a healthy man has to find ways to stay healthy. b) healthy men are not always healthy. c) sick men always die from disease. d) a sick man must be treated differently than a healthy man. 12. which lines in the passage best support the answer to the previous question? a) paragraph 1, sentence 2 (\but the... health\) b) paragraph 1, sentence 3 (\to trace... grass\) c) paragraph 2, sentence 5 (\the majority... pains\) d) paragraph 3, sentence 1 (\for this... now\) 13. the author considers healthy foods to be those that a) possess strong qualities. b) contain weak ingredients. c) agree with the constitution of men. d) require the most mixing of ingredients. 14. in paragraph 3, sentence 3, the word \uncompounded\ most closely means
- The passage implies that medicine was discovered because sick men have different needs than healthy men, so they must be treated differently. This is the reasoning behind men discovering medicine.
- Paragraph 1, Sentence 2 ("But the... health") supports the idea that sick men do not profit from the same regimen as healthy men, which is related to the reason for discovering medicine.
- The author likely believes healthy foods are those that agree with the constitution of men, as the passage discusses how different living - and eating - regimens are suitable for different states of health.
- Without the full context of the sentence with "uncompounded", based on the general discussion of mixtures and regimens in the passage, we can make an educated guess about its meaning.
