To determine the amount of drug to be drawn, we need to use the formula:

Amount of drug (in mg) = Desired dose (in mg) / Concentration (in mg/mL)

Substituting the given values, we get:

Amount of drug = 500 mg / 250 mg/mL

Amount of drug = 2 mL

Therefore, the amount of drug to be drawn is 2 mL, which is equivalent to 2 cc. The correct answer is E.
