The passage most strongly supports which one of the following inferences about women in ancient Greece and Rome?

Picked D
the passage says
" Moreover, despite evidence that some of these
. women doctors treated mainly female patients, their
. practice was clearly not limited to midwifery. Both
. Greek and Latin have distinct terms for midwife and
(40) doctor, and important texts and inscriptions refer to
. female practitioners as the latter."
which is basically saying that official records have never called women midwives but they have called them doctors. i think these lines very clearly support answer choice D.

Hi, those lines directly disprove D. It explicitly states that there is evidence that those doctors did do midwifery, but were not limited to midwifery- strongly implying they also practiced general medicine. While they may have had different words, the passage tells us that these women did both. After all English has different words for lawyer and golfer, but no person would argue that lawyers never play golf.
