Answer: A. it is not logical; the author ignores other possibilities-that the patient is cured and the doctor still gets his fee, for example.

The justification that Ruskin gives for his argument is not a very strong one. He states that doctors would rather lose the fee they are supposed to be paid rather than kill their patient. This is probably true, but it is overly simplistic. It ignores several other possibilities, for example, the possibility of lower fees, the possibility of the patient not dying, but being uncomfortable for longer, or the possibility of changing jobs if the pay is low.
