7. The correct answer is C. While, Parker did not feel that that 19th

century Chinese medical practices were advanced, the passage

never mentions an emotion similar to "disdain" in describing

Parker's feelings to wards these practices.

Answer choice A can be eliminated because the passage states

that Parker "acquired a reputation as a surgeon of such skill that the

hospital quickly became a general hospital."

Answer choice B can be eliminated because the passage states that

Parker "offered free treatment for both rich and poor."

Answer choice D can be eliminated because the passage states that

Parker "returned to the United States to raise money and interest in

his operations." Additionally, Parker "and his British colleagues

formed the Medical Missionary Society of China to coordinate the

efforts of all the western hospitals springing up in the trading ports

of Asia."

Answer choice E can be eliminated because the passage states that

Parker had, "at best, modest success attracting converts to

Christianity" suggesting that he did not completely achieve his

missionary goals.
