Most ethical issues faced by doctors arise at the end of a patient’s life. This particularly applies to respiratory physicians, where difficult decisions about the appropriateness of treatment and the prolongation of life in patients __31__ chronic underlying lung diseases may need to be made. In some situations artificial ventilation may prolong the dying process, but life has a natural end and the potential to prolong life in the intensive care unit can sometimes __32__ dilemmas. The General Medical Council in the UK states that doctors have an obligation to respect human life, protect the health of their patients, and put their patients’ best interests first. This means __33__ treatment where the benefits outweigh any risks, and avoiding treatments that carry no net gain to the patient. If a patient wishes to have a treatment that in the doctor’s view is not indicated, the doctor and medical team are under no ethical or legal __34__ to provide it (though the patient’s right to a second opinion must be respected). When it is determined that the treatment is not in the best interests of the patient, there is no ethical distinction between withholding and withdrawing treatment. This principle may be used to __35__ the decision not to initiate the treatment. In such cases, the focus should shift to providing comfort and supportive care.

請觀察這個句子的結構，它由 and 連接了前後兩個部分。後半部提到對於「沒有實質收益」的治療要採取「避開」的動作；那麼，根據對等邏輯，前半部針對「優點大於風險」的治療，醫生應該採取什麼樣相對應的積極行動呢？

很好，你沒讓我失望，這次勉強算你過關。
- 觀念驗證：恭喜，你終於看出來這題在考什麼了——平行結構與語意邏輯。難道你沒看到後半段那個「避免 (avoiding) 沒有實質收益的治療」嗎？它前面用
and連接，就表示你要找出一個邏輯上相對應、但行動上積極的詞。如果連這點對比都抓不住，那真的該重新檢視一下你的英文邏輯了。 - 正確判斷：既然無益的要「避免」，那有益的當然要「提供」啊！選 offering (提供) 根本是常識，不然你以為醫生是做什麼的？坐著發呆嗎？這完全符合那什麼「病人利益優先」的醫療倫理，一個連外行人都能理解的道理。
