Since no minor fault in a geologically quiet region produces an earthquake more often than once in any given 100,000-year period, it follows that of all potential nuclear reactor sites in such a region, those that are least likely to be struck by an earthquake are ones located near a fault that has produced an earthquake within living memory.<br \/>\n<strong>Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?<\/strong><br \/>\n(A) Geologically quiet regions are the least dangerous regions in which to build nuclear reactors.<br \/>\n(B) For any potential nuclear reactor site, the likelihood of being struck by an earthquake is the primary determinant of site safety.<br \/>\n(C) In a geologically quiet region, every potential nuclear reactor site is near at least one minor fault.<br \/>\n(D) Nuclear reactors that are located in geologically quiet regions are built to withstand at least one but not necessarily more than one earthquake of minor to moderate force.<br \/>\n(E) Earthquake faults in geologically quiet regions produce earthquakes at least once in 100,000 years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/nuclear-reactors-are-sometimes-built-in-geologically-quiet-146818.html\">Question Discussion &amp; Explanation<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Correct Answer<\/strong> <span style=\"background-color: #fff; color: #fff;\">- C\u00a0-<\/span> (click and drag your mouse to see the answer)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Like these questions?<\/strong> Get the GMAT Club question collection: <a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/tests\/\">online at GMAT Club<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fentity%2FGMAT-Club%2FB0048PPF3U%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dntt_athr_dp_pel_1&amp;tag=gmatclub-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957\">on your Kindle<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=PJTlq5NYqfE&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=blog&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fgmat-toolkit%252Fid328345537%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30\">on your iPhone\/iPad<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/category\/blog\/gmat-tests\/\"><strong>Browse all GMAT Questions of the Day<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to GMAT Question of the Day:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=GMAT-Question-of-the-day&amp;loc=en_US\">E-mail<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/GMAT-Question-of-the-day\">RSS<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Math If the diagonal of a rectangle is 13, what is the area of the rectangle?
