The government's medical research organization is called ___________________.

• A. National Institute of Health
• B. National Institute of Science
• C. National Institutes of Health
• D. Center for Medical Research

Answer: (A)

The main idea is the proper name of the government’s medical research organization. The correct choice is National Institutes of Health. NIH is the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services agency that oversees and funds a wide range of medical research through its multiple institutes, including the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, which is particularly relevant to dental topics. The plural form indicates this is a system of specialized institutes under one umbrella, not a single institute.

The other options don’t fit. National Institute of Health uses singular “Institute,” which doesn’t reflect the NIH’s structure. National Institute of Science isn’t the official name of the government’s medical research body. Center for Medical Research is a generic term and not the formal name of the federal agency.
