PrepTest 63, Section 2, Question 7
The cause of the epidemic that devastated Athens in 430 B.C. can finally be identified. Accounts of the epidemic mention the hiccups experienced by many victims, a symptom of no known disease except that caused by the recently discovered Ebola virus. Moreover, other symptoms of the disease caused by the Ebola virus are mentioned in the accounts of the Athenian epidemic.

Each of the following, if true, weakens the argument EXCEPT:
Victims of the Ebola virus experience many symptoms that do not appear in any of the accounts of the Athenian epidemic.
Not all of those who are victims of the Ebola virus are afflicted with hiccups.
The Ebola virus's host animals did not live in Athens at the time of the Athenian epidemic.
The Ebola virus is much more contagious than the disease that caused the Athenian epidemic was reported to have been.
The epidemics known to have been caused by the Ebola virus are usually shorter-lived than was the Athenian epidemic.
