GMAT Club World Cup 2022 (DAY 8): Because of the increasing number of

A. parents cautiously engage the safety mechanism before the children go out riding bicycles: Not relevant. Reject
B. bicycles with the additional safety mechanism would be expensive and hence there will be a drop in the sales of childrens’ bicycles: As there will be a drop in sale, injuries will also drop. Reject
C. as many as 80% of the new learners have been reportedly injured at least once by falling from a bicycle: Not relevant. Reject
D. the injuries resulting from falling from bicycles are in most cases not serious: Not relevant. Reject
E. children wish to learn to ride bicycles unaided by any additional safety mechanism as fast as they can: logically complete the argument. Even with safety mechanism, children will not use it & hence number of injuries will not come down. Correct

Hence E is the correct option

Correct answer : Choice E

A. parents cautiously engage the safety mechanism before the children go out riding bicycles. - Wrong : Does not add the point that "this will not retard the rate at which injuries happen "

B. bicycles with the additional safety mechanism would be expensive and hence there will be a drop in the sales of childrens’ bicycles. - Wrong : Has nothing to do with expensiveness and sales

C. as many as 80% of the new learners have been reportedly injured at least once by falling from a bicycle. - Wrong :
Does not matter if its 80% or 100%

D. the injuries resulting from falling from bicycles are in most cases not serious. - Wrong : type of the seriousness of the injury does not matter

E. children wish to learn to ride bicycles unaided by any additional safety mechanism as fast as they can. - Correct : this supports the arguement that children want to ride bicycles that are unaided and this inturn will lead to falling and hence not retard the rise of the number of injuries.

need to give another reason why plan would not retard the rise of the number of injuries from falling from a bicycle
one reason given that fall-proof mechanism slows down the learning process by providing extra stability that is not experienced while riding a standard bicycle without such a mechanism
and


A. parents cautiously engage the safety mechanism before the children go out riding bicycles. this is not weakener
B. bicycles with the additional safety mechanism would be expensive and hence there will be a drop in the sales of childrens’ bicycles. not weakener
C. as many as 80% of the new learners have been reportedly injured at least once by falling from a bicycle. not weakener
D. the injuries resulting from falling from bicycles are in most cases not serious. not weakener
E. children wish to learn to ride bicycles unaided by any additional safety mechanism as fast as they can. correct option
so children if deliberately disengaged the mechanism then there wont be drop on injuries

OPTION E is correct

Answer is E
A. parents cautiously engage the safety mechanism before the children go out riding bicycles. undermine the conclusion
B. bicycles with the additional safety mechanism would be expensive and hence there will be a drop in the sales of childrens’ bicycles.irrelevant
C. as many as 80% of the new learners have been reportedly injured at least once by falling from a bicycle. irrelevant
D. the injuries resulting from falling from bicycles are in most cases not serious. tempting but with close scrutiny, this one is irrelevant
E. children wish to learn to ride bicycles unaided by any additional safety mechanism as fast as they can. Correct

IMO E

E. children wish to learn to ride bicycles unaided by any additional safety mechanism as fast as they can. - Correct, as the children will go out without use the available safety aid as they want to learn the bicycle fast.

bicycles with the additional safety mechanism would be expensive and hence there will be a drop in the sales of childrens’ bicycles.

Answer B

Which of the following most logically completes the passage?

Because of the increasing number of injuries caused to children who start learning bicycles and in the process frequently fall down, bicycle manufacturers will soon be required to provide children’s bicycles with an additional fall-proof mechanism that can be engaged or disengaged as per the wish of the rider.
However this regulation would most probably not retard the rise of the number of injuries from falling from a bicycle because the fall-proof mechanism slows down the learning process by providing extra stability that is not experienced while riding a standard bicycle without such a mechanism and ___________


If parents cautiously engage the safety mechanism before the children go out riding bicycles, it will retard the rise of the number of injuries from falling from a bicycle.
Incorrect


We are concerned with rise of the number of injuries from falling from a bicycle and not concerned about their sales.
Incorrect


The statement does not complete the sentence since it does not relate to retarding the rise of the number of injuries from falling from a bicycle.
Incorrect


We are concerned with rise of the number of injuries from falling from a bicycle and about their seriousness.
Incorrect


However this regulation would most probably not retard the rise of the number of injuries from falling from a bicycle because the fall-proof mechanism slows down the learning process by providing extra stability that is not experienced while riding a standard bicycle without such a mechanism and children wish to learn to ride bicycles unaided by any additional safety mechanism as fast as they can.
The sentence is complete and conveys the correct meaning that safety mechanism slows down learning and children want to learn fast, therefore, regulation will not work.

IMO E

IMO, Option E is best completes the sentence.

A. parents cautiously engage the safety mechanism before the children go out riding bicycles.Not providing the reason .OUT
B. bicycles with the additional safety mechanism would be expensive and hence there will be a drop in the sales of childrens’ bicycles.We are not talking abt drop in sales.OUT
C. as many as 80% of the new learners have been reportedly injured at least once by falling from a bicycle.Out of scope.OUT
D. the injuries resulting from falling from bicycles are in most cases not serious.OUT
E. children wish to learn to ride bicycles unaided by any additional safety mechanism as fast as they can.Correct

oa:e

Ans: E

The correct answer should continue to provide reason that fall-proof mechanism will not solve the problem of reducing number of injuries which is only mentioned in option E.

Which of the following most logically completes the passage?

Because of the increasing number of injuries caused to children who start learning bicycles and in the process frequently fall down, bicycle manufacturers will soon be required to provide children’s bicycles with an additional fall-proof mechanism that can be engaged or disengaged as per the wish of the rider. However this regulation would most probably not retard the rise of the number of injuries from falling from a bicycle because the fall-proof mechanism slows down the learning process by providing extra stability that is not experienced while riding a standard bicycle without such a mechanism and ___________

A. parents cautiously engage the safety mechanism before the children go out riding bicycles. : Incorrect
This gives reason for having safety mechanism.

B. bicycles with the additional safety mechanism would be expensive and hence there will be a drop in the sales of childrens’ bicycles. Incorrect
Cost of bicycles in irrelevant here.

C. as many as 80% of the new learners have been reportedly injured at least once by falling from a bicycle. Incorrect.
It doesn't even talk about the mechanism.

D. the injuries resulting from falling from bicycles are in most cases not serious. Incorrect
Same as C, it doesn't talk about the mechanism.

E. children wish to learn to ride bicycles unaided by any additional safety mechanism as fast as they can. :Correct

A. parents cautiously engage the safety mechanism before the children go out riding bicycles.
INCORRECT. This does not give a reason that logically completes the thought conveyed in the argument.

B. bicycles with the additional safety mechanism would be expensive and hence there will be a drop in the sales of childrens’ bicycles.
INCORRECT. The argument does not talk or refer anything about how expensive the bicycle is going to. This does not give a reason that logically completes the thought conveyed in the argument.

C. as many as 80% of the new learners have been reportedly injured at least once by falling from a bicycle.
INCORRECT. This too does not complete the thought conveyed in the argument. This is irrelevant to the point of the argument.

D. the injuries resulting from falling from bicycles are in most cases not serious.
INCORRECT. Again the argument does not look to complete the sentence alluding to the seriousness of injuries resulting from falling from bicycles.

E. children wish to learn to ride bicycles unaided by any additional safety mechanism as fast as they can.
CORRECT. This conveys the correct sense and logically completes the argument. It highlights two parallel reasons as to why the regulation would most probably not retard the rise of the number of injuries from falling from a bicycle. One, the fall-proof mechanism slows down the learning process by providing extra stability that is not experienced while riding a standard bicycle without such a mechanism, and two, children wish to learn to ride bicycles unaided by any additional safety mechanism as fast as they can.

A. parents cautiously engage the safety mechanism before the children go out riding bicycles.
-This is incorrect. This option here is weakening the argument
B. bicycles with the additional safety mechanism would be expensive and hence there will be a drop in the sales of childrens’ bicycles.
-This is out of scope because here the argument is about why the rise in number of injuries will not be stopped due to this additional fall proof mechanism
C. as many as 80% of the new learners have been reportedly injured at least once by falling from a bicycle.
This is incorrect. there is no relation with this argument as here we are discussing about the additional fall-proof mechanism to prevent injuries
D. the injuries resulting from falling from bicycles are in most cases not serious.
-This is out of scope. As here we are not concerned about the seriousness of the injury but the number of injuries
E. children wish to learn to ride bicycles unaided by any additional safety mechanism as fast as they can.
-this is the correct option. As children would still be riding bicycles without any safety mechanism to learn the process fast

A. parents cautiously engage the safety mechanism before the children go out riding bicycles. This weakens argument that injuries will not decline
B. bicycles with the additional safety mechanism would be expensive and hence there will be a drop in the sales of childrens’ bicycles. Sales is irrelevant
C. as many as 80% of the new learners have been reportedly injured at least once by falling from a bicycle. Irrelevant
D. the injuries resulting from falling from bicycles are in most cases not serious. Severity of injury is not being discussed
E. children wish to learn to ride bicycles unaided by any additional safety mechanism as fast as they can. Logically connects with rest of the passage

This question is asking to assume the reason behind why the fall-proof mechanism will not retard the rise of number of injuries.

Option E: When put in the space, it looks like this - this regulation would most probably not retard the rise of the number of injuries from falling from a bicycle because the fall-proof mechanism slows down the learning process by providing extra stability that is not experienced while riding a standard bicycle without such a mechanism and children wish to learn to ride bicycles unaided by any additional safety mechanism as fast as they can.

The clauses connected by end, are in parallel in logic and meaning. Also, proves the point.

Because of the increasing number of injuries caused to children who start learning bicycles and in the process frequently fall down, bicycle manufacturers will soon be required to provide children’s bicycles with an additional fall-proof mechanism that can be engaged or disengaged as per the wish of the rider. However this regulation would most probably not retard the rise of the number of injuries from falling from a bicycle because the fall-proof mechanism slows down the learning process by providing extra stability that is not experienced while riding a standard bicycle without such a mechanism and ___________

A. parents cautiously engage the safety mechanism before the children go out riding bicycles. - Correct - it's additional reason why injuries will not shrink

B. bicycles with the additional safety mechanism would be expensive and hence there will be a drop in the sales of childrens’ bicycles. - Wrong - it leads to drop injury

C. as many as 80% of the new learners have been reportedly injured at least once by falling from a bicycle. - Wrong - out of scope

D. the injuries resulting from falling from bicycles are in most cases not serious. - Wrong - it doesn't explain why injuries will not drop

E. children wish to learn to ride bicycles unaided by any additional safety mechanism as fast as they can - Wrong - subtle - between A and E, I chose A, which is more close to real

A. parents cautiously engage the safety mechanism before the children go out riding bicycles.

Even if parents cautiously engage the safety mechanism before the children go out riding bicycles, we know that the rider can disengage it. Hence this is not correct.

B. bicycles with the additional safety mechanism would be expensive and hence there will be a drop in the sales of childrens’ bicycles.

Not in scope of the argument

C. as many as 80% of the new learners have been reportedly injured at least once by falling from a bicycle.

Doesn't tell us why the plan wont work

D. the injuries resulting from falling from bicycles are in most cases not serious.

We are not concerned about the type of injury cause, hence this is not in scope.

E. children wish to learn to ride bicycles unaided by any additional safety mechanism as fast as they can.

This is correct, because we know that the safety mechanism can be engaged or disengaged as per the wish of the rider, so its likely that the children will remove them.

IMO E

We need to find an answer choice that helps to prove that the new regulation will fail in its objective to reduce number of injuries from falling from a bicycle.

The argument mentions that fall-proof mechanism slows down the learning process, so the only logical answer is E because it directly relates to the slow down process. Also, it is given that additional fall-proof mechanism can be engaged or disengaged as per the wish of the rider. Hence, answer would be E.

If the parents cautiously engage the safety mechanism then the new regulation would be a success. Hence, A is out.

The objective is not to sell more bicycles or anything related to cost/ SP. B is deviating us from our main objective stated above and hence is wrong.

80% of the new learners have been reportedly injured at least once by falling from a bicycle is a data of the past. It is in no way indicating whether the near future new regulation will be successful in its purpose. Hence, C is wrong.

It does not matter whether the injuries are serious or not. The only thing we are concerned is that the number of injuries should reduce. Hence, D is out.

Answer is E for the reasons stated above.
