The study did not find that the second generation drugs were much more effective than the older, first generation drugs. In fact, answer A is closer to the actual finding, which was that the second generation drugs were not significantly more effective than the first generation drugs. Answer C is correct, as the study found that the second generation drugs did not produce fewer unpleasant side effects than the first generation drug. Answer D is also correct, as the study found that nearly three-quarters of the people stopped taking the medications before the 18 months of the study had ended.
