CR Questions August - 16 :

Q1. Exterminator: Using poisoned food is the most effective tactic for combating a mouse infestation.The mouse will carry the food back to the nest, causing all of the mice to die, while a trap will kill only the one mouse that falls into it. If all signs of the mice disappear for three consecutive weeks after poisoned food is used, the homeowner can be sure that the poison was successful in eradicating the mice.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls into question the exterminator’s claim that the absence of signs for three weeks means the mice have been eradicated by the poison?

(A) Because mice hide whenever they sense humans, it is very difficult to see or hear mice even when there is an active infestation.

(B) It is more humane to use “live-catch” traps that allow homeowners to release the still- living mice outside.

(C) In the spring, many mice that nest in houses begin foraging for food outside and do not return to the comfort of the house until the fall or winter.

(D) There are several different kinds of poison that could be used, some of which are more effective than others.

(E) It sometimes takes longer than three weeks for all of the mice to ingest and die from the poison.

It is a widespread belief in modern evolutionary biology that evolution has shaped not only the shapes of our bodies but also our “instinctive” behaviors that come to the fore when we experience different constraining situations. The role of evolution in this process is not to dictate our behavior when we can think rationally, but rather to dictate our actions when we act under severe constraints and end up displaying these instinctive behaviors—ways of feeling, thinking, and acting that “come naturally” in archetypal situations in any culture. Our “frailties”—instincts such as rage, fear, greed, gluttony, joy, lust, and love—may be a very mixed assortment, but they share at least one immediate quality: we are, as we say, “in the grip” of them. And thus, they give us our sense of constraints.

One undeniable fact about these frailties is that some of these frailties are presently maladaptive. Ironically, one clear example of this maladaptiveness is our ever-increasing need for security. Yet beneath the overlay of cultural detail, even these maladaptive frailties, too, are said to be biological in direction, and are therefore as natural to us as are our appendixes. We would need to thoroughly comprehend the origin of these maladaptive frailties in order to understand how badly they guide us now. And we might then begin to resist the pressure of these maladaptive frailties in our distant future.

Hello, Can someone pls reason the following passage and explain how did we come to the answers of the both the questions?

Q1. Due to high jet fuel costs, airline carriers are looking for new ways to increase revenues and thereby counteract declining profits.

Q2. Virtually all eligible voters who took part in a recent survey of political attitudes in Artesiana stated that because political candidates from the major parties are incompetent or corrupt (or both), it is a complete waste of time to vote in Artesianan elections. Yet nearly 80% of eligible voters chose to vote in the most recent Artesianan election.

Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the seeming paradox?

A) Eligible voters who chose to vote in the most recent election were compelled to vote for at least one candidate they knew to be incompetent or corrupt (or both).

B) Only eligible voters who did not choose to vote in the most recent election were included in the recent survey.

C) All eligible voters who took part in the recent survey gave truthful answers that accurately reflect their views concerning politics.

D) Candidates from some major political parties are competent but corrupt, whereas candidates from other parties are incompetent but honest.

E) Those voters who took part in the recent survey acted in accordance with their beliefs by refusing to waste time voting in the recent elections.

Whereas A says that even though candidates are corrupt but people had to vote atleast 1 candidate

A
