How do the Amish approach medical care according to the material?

• A. They reject modern medicine entirely.
• B. They rely on only home remedies.
• C. They may use modern medical services but also prefer alternative medicines and home remedies.
• D. They rely solely on prayer.

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that the Amish use a mixed approach to health care. They don’t reject modern medicine outright, nor do they rely only on home remedies or prayer. Instead, they generally seek modern medical services when appropriate, but they also value and use traditional or alternative remedies and home-based care. This practical blend reflects a respect for professional medical care alongside culturally trusted remedies that families often rely on for everyday illnesses. The other options push toward extremes—refusing modern medicine entirely, using only home remedies, or relying solely on prayer—none of which aligns with the nuanced pattern described.
