How many clinics are there?

• A. 35
• B. 38
• C. 42
• D. 40

Answer: (B)

Counting the total clinics relies on adding up every clinic shown in the data while making sure you don’t double-count any that appear in more than one area or list. Start by identifying all sources that mention clinics—each region, table, or map category. Add the number of clinics in each area, but keep an eye out for duplicates: if the same clinic is listed in two places, count it only once. After you’ve added across all areas, check for any notes about closures or planned openings that might change the total. When you follow this careful tally with the given data, you arrive at 38 clinics, which is why that number is the correct total.
