While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
- Mobile health clinics have been implemented across rural communities to address healthcare access gaps.
- These traveling medical units provide basic healthcare services to underserved populations.
- Healthcare administrators have promoted mobile clinics as cost-effective solutions to rural healthcare challenges.
- Public health researcher Dr. Michael Kim conducted a comprehensive evaluation of mobile clinic programs in 2023.
- He reported that mobile health services "dramatically reduce emergency room visits while increasing preventive care access in remote communities."
- Kim's data showed improved health outcomes and significant cost savings for both patients and healthcare systems.
The student wants to use a quotation to emphasize the effectiveness of mobile health clinic programs. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

Provide Passage Architecture & Core Elements
Main Point: Dr. Kim 2023 research evaluation demonstrated that mobile health clinics effectively improve healthcare access and outcomes in rural communities while providing cost savings.
Argument Flow: The passage starts by establishing mobile health clinics as a solution for rural healthcare access problems, then presents the administrators view that they are cost-effective. It then introduces Dr. Kim research study, which provides concrete evidence of their effectiveness through reduced emergency room visits, increased preventive care access, improved health outcomes, and cost savings for both patients and healthcare systems.
Step 2: Interpret the Question Precisely
What's being asked? The student wants to use a quotation to emphasize the effectiveness of mobile health clinic programs.
What type of answer do we need? A choice that contains an actual quotation (words in quotation marks) that specifically demonstrates how effective mobile health clinics are.
Any limiting keywords? Quotation is crucial - we need actual quoted words, not paraphrasing. Emphasize the effectiveness means the quoted words must show positive results or impact.
Step 3: Prethink the Answer
- First, it must contain an actual quotation - words enclosed in quotation marks, not just paraphrasing or summary
- Second, the quoted words themselves must demonstrate effectiveness, meaning they should show positive results, improvements, or successful outcomes from mobile health clinics
- Third, the quotation should be properly attributed to a credible source from the notes
- Looking at our notes, we have one direct quotation from Dr. Kim about mobile health services dramatically reduce emergency room visits while increasing preventive care access in remote communities
- This quotation shows clear effectiveness through two specific positive impacts
- So the right answer should contain Kim quoted words about reducing ER visits and increasing preventive care access, since these demonstrate concrete effectiveness
Kim's evaluation showed that healthcare administrators have "promoted mobile clinics as cost-effective solutions to rural healthcare challenges."
- This attributes the quote to Kim, but the actual quote is from healthcare administrators
- The quoted words are about promotion as cost-effective, not about demonstrated effectiveness
According to public health researcher Dr. Michael Kim, mobile health services "dramatically reduce emergency room visits while increasing preventive care access in remote communities."
- Contains the actual quotation from Kim about dramatically reduce emergency room visits while increasing preventive care access
- The quoted words directly demonstrate effectiveness through specific positive outcomes
Mobile health clinics have been "implemented across rural communities to address healthcare access gaps," Kim's research confirmed.
- The quoted portion is about implementation and addressing gaps, not about effectiveness or results
- Misattributes the quote to Kim when this information appeared before his research was introduced
Kim's data demonstrated that mobile clinics provide improved health outcomes and significant cost savings for patients and healthcare systems.
- Contains no quotation at all - it paraphrases Kim findings rather than quoting them
- Fails the basic requirement of using quoted words to emphasize effectiveness
