Q1. There is an increasing trend in opting for hybrid cars or cars that use rechargeable batteries to augment the gasoline engine. Car manufacturers claim that such cars drive longer per unit of gasoline since there is no gasoline used when the car is powered by batteries. In reality, these cars are powered by batteries only when the car is driving at low speeds and by gasoline engine otherwise. Therefore, in the region of Carmenia, hybrid cars provide little advantage over cars with comparable gasoline engines.
Which of the following if true strengthens author’s argument above
A. The speed breakers on the highways of Carmenia are smaller and lower in height than those on the highways of the neighbouring cities.
B. On an average, roads of Carmenia have significantly more speed breakers than the roads of any other city in the world
C. Hybrid cars typically extract slightly more energy from gasoline than regular cars do.
D. The Minimum Speed Limit in the nearby cities is well above the battery-operating range of a hybrid car
E. While travelling within Carmenia, the amount of gasoline consumed by a hybrid car is quite comparable to the amount of gasoline consumed by a conventional gasoline-engine driven car.

Q2. Children with photosensitive epilepsy, a condition in which seizures are triggered by visual stimuli that form patterns in time or space, such as flashing lights or regular moving patterns, are usually not allowed to use computers as the images on the screens are continually refreshed. These images can hence move or flicker, triggering a seizure. However, laboratory tests have shown that the eyes of such children adapt very well to using computers. Parents, therefore, can safely let such children use computers to do extensive research work for school projects, if not for playing games.
Which of the following, if true, weakens the conclusion drawn above?
A. Research typically requires the brain to use less energy to interpret visual stimuli than games do.
B. Parents of children with photosensitive epilepsy are unlikely to be aware of the latest findings made by scientists in the field.
C. Playing games is not as tiring a mental activity as doing research work on computers is.
D. Preliminary results have shown that the brain of such children cannot process constant inflow of images for long hours, and such an inflow could trigger a seizure.
E. Seizures can also be triggered by sources such as smart phones, televisions and game stations, which display moving or flickering images in much the same way as a computer does.

A
hybrid car when use batteries drive slowly, so smaller speed breaker should not be a major problem. but for gasoline car it is a big problem.
CR Butler Questions December - 9 :Q1. New research shows that some marine organisms such as eels are facing a severe threat to their survival because of the increasing marine noise pollution. Researchers found that when exposed to acute noises such as those typical of large fishing ships, European eels reacted very differently to predator attacks; the likelihood of their response to an ambush by a predator decreased by 50% and the reaction times of the ones that did respond were delayed by as much as 25%.
Which of the following can be concluded on the basis of the information given in the above passage?
A. In the presence of acute sounds such as those coming from a large fishing ship, marine organisms such as eels cannot hear predators approaching
B. Fishing ships contribute to the endangerment of many marine organisms both directly and indirectly.
C. For European eels, the likelihood of a delay in their reaction time to an ambush by a predator increases with the increase in noise pollution.
D. Marine noise pollution increases the likelihood of a marine predator successfully catching its prey in some instances.
E. When exposed to acute noises in a danger situation, some marine organisms lose control of most of their reflex actions.
Q2. The revival of Kranland’s automobile industry is being pitched as a beacon of hope in an economy that has been broadly flat for the most part of the last two years. It is being suggested that the industry can help boost the country’s economy by increasing its manufacturing output and resultant exports, and create high quality jobs. However, many economists claim that even if automobiles companies help increase the country’s exports, they will not be a major source of new jobs over the long term.
Which of the following best explains the reason for the doubt expressed by the economists?
A. The automobile industry does not create low-quality jobs.
B. Even though the exports of Sonic Automobiles, a manufacturing company in Kranland, grew more than 20% in the last year, its number of employees grew only by 5%.
C. The automobile industry is a capital intensive industry and frequently goes through cycles of growth and recession.
D. To succeed in the global manufacturing industry, a company has to be extraordinarily efficient, requiring the use of the same workforce for more production.
E. Ranland’s automobile companies are financially well off than their Kranlandian peers and can cut down their prices to gain market share
