Question is based on the following passage:
Teaching Medical English
Medical English continues to be a growing field as more pharmacists, doctors and nurses leave their home countries and work in English-speaking countries or countries with large international communities such as the UAE.
Teaching medical English can be tough if you don’t have a background in life sciences like biology, anatomy and physiology. Fortunately, resources like Hospital English and Multimedical English have a wealth of supplementary material that can help you teach medical English in the classroom.
In addition, medical English lessons should involve vocabulary-building exercises to help students remember difficult medical terms. They should also focus on building speaking and listening skills, as well as improving reading skills so that students can understand those challenging medical journals.
The good news is that most medical English students are already studying at the advanced level, so creating lessons to improve their proficiency levels shouldn’t be too difficult. Unlike in beginner classes, you can typically rely heavily on authentic English content like medical videos, talks and publications to create meaningful and challenging lessons.

Comentário do professor
A alternativa E afirma que o Inglês Médico é uma categoria específica de inglês e, por isso, costuma ser direcionado a farmacêuticos, médicos e enfermeiros. Essa conclusão está diretamente apoiada no texto, que menciona esses profissionais logo no início e contextualiza o campo como parte do ensino de inglês para fins profissionais.
Chamar de categoria específica equivale a identificá‑lo como uma variedade do Inglês para Fins Específicos (ESP), cujo objetivo é atender necessidades comunicativas particulares de uma área profissional. Assim, é coerente inferir que as aulas e recursos são pensados para quem atua na área da saúde.
Portanto, a alternativa resume corretamente a ideia central do texto: o foco do Inglês Médico é preparar profissionais de saúde para atuar em contextos onde o inglês é exigido.
