In the world today we make health and end in itself. We have forgotten that health is really means to enable a person to do his work and do it well. A lot of modern medicine and this includes many patients as well as many physicians pay very little attention to health but very much attention to those who imagine that they are ill. Our great concern with health is shown by the medical columns in newspapers. The health articles in popular magazines and the popularity of television programmers and all those books on medicine. We talk about health all the time. Yet for the most part the only result is more people with imaginary illness.

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: often suffer from imaginary illness
Explanation: The passage says, "We talk about health all the time. Yet for the most part the only result is more people with imaginary illness." This shows that frequent attention to health produces an increased number of people who imagine they are ill.
Why this choice is best:
The passage describes an increase in imaginary illness caused by constant discussion of health, which corresponds to people often suffering from imaginary illness.
The alternatives such as "always" are too absolute, and "sometimes" or "rarely" understate the frequency implied by "more people" and "for the most part."
