24. c. The second paragraph discusses the symptoms and complications of the disease. Notice how theauthor lists seven physical symptoms in just one sentence, whereas two full sentences are devoted topsychological issues: the impact of these symptoms on a woman’s self-esteem and the stress anddepression caused by the symptoms. Infertility (choice a), obesity and its attendant problems (choiceb), and skin rashes and acne (choice d) are all physical symptoms listed in the first sentence of the sec-ond paragraph. Choice eis incorrect because the syndrome does not cause the sudden onset of dia-betes; it only creates “an increased risk of diabetes.”
