B does not have a parallelism issue. "the heart has four chambers,...., and (the heart) delivers oxygenated blood to the organs by one channel while (the heart) directs blood to the lungs...

Everything is parallel with the heart. It is a very strange construction, but correct

Q1. Some doctors believe that a certain drug reduces the duration of episodes of vertigo, claiming that the average duration of vertigo for people who suffer from it has decreased since the drug was introduced. However, during a recent three-month shortage of the drug, there was no significant change in the average duration of vertigo. Thus, we can conclude that the drug has no effect on the duration of vertigo. Which one of the following is an assumption required by the argument? (A) If a drug made a difference in the duration of vertigo, a three-month shortage of that drug would have caused a significant change in the average duration of vertigo. (B) If there were any change in the average duration of vertigo since the introduction of the drug, it would have demonstrated that the drug has an effect on the duration of vertigo. (C) A period of time greater than three months would not have been better to use in judging whether the drug has an effect on the duration of vertigo. (D) Changes in diet and smoking habits are not responsible for any change in the average duration of vertigo since the introduction of the drug. (E) There are various significant factors other than drugs that decrease the duration of vertigo for many people who suffer from it. Difficulty - Hard

Q2. Sometimes it is advisable for a medical patient to seek a second opinion. But this process can be awkward for both the patient and the physicians, since the patient often worries that the first physician will be alienated. In addition, for the first physician there is the issue of pride: a second opinion tacitly highlights a physician’s fallibility. And the second physician is in the position of evaluating not only a patient’s health, but also, inevitably and uncomfortably, a colleague’s work. Which one of the following most accurately states the conclusion of the argument as a whole? (A) Because of the awkwardness involved, it is best for patients not to seek second opinions unless it is absolutely necessary. (B) In cases in which second opinions are necessary, the first physician often feels that his or her professional judgment is called into question. (C) The process of obtaining a second medical opinion can be awkward for those involved. (D) Physicians who are called upon to offer second opinions are always uncomfortable about evaluating the work of colleagues. (E) In many cases in which medical patients seek second opinions, they are concerned about offending the first physician.

CR Questions September - 27 :

Q1. With decreased production this year in many rice-growing countries, prices of the grain on world markets have increased. Analysts blame this increase on the fact that only a small percentage of world production is sold commercially, with government growers controlling most of the rest, distributing it for local consumption. With so little rice being traded freely, even slight changes in production can significantly affect the amount of rice available on world markets.

Which one of the following, if true, would most call into question the analysts’ explanation of the price increase?

(A) Rice-importing countries reduce purchases of rice when the price increases dramatically.

(B) In times of decreased rice production, governments store more of the rice they control and reduce their local distribution of rice.

(C) In times of decreased rice production, governments export some of the rice originally intended for local distribution to countries with free grain markets.

(D) Governments that distribute the rice crop for local consumption purchase the grain commercially in the event of production shortfalls.

(E) During reduced rice harvests, rice-importing countries import other kinds of crops, although this fails to compensate for decreased rice imports.


Difficulty - Hard

Q2. In tests for pironoma, a serious disease, a false positive result indicates that people have pironoma when, in fact, they do not; a false negative result indicates that people do not have pironoma when, in fact, they do. To detect pironoma most accurately, physicians should use the laboratory test that has the lowest proportion of false positive results.

Which of the following, if true, gives the most support to the recommendation above?


(A) The accepted treatment for pironoma does not have damaging side effects.

(B) The laboratory test that has the lowest proportion of false positive results causes the same minor side effects as do the other laboratory tests used to detect pironoma.

(C) In treating pironoma patients, it is essential to begin treatment as early as possible, since even a week of delay can result in loss of life.

(D) The proportion of inconclusive test results is equal for all laboratory tests used to detect pironoma.

(E) All laboratory tests to detect pironoma have the same proportion of false negative results.

E is deeply flawed.

You read it as:
(part of a journalist job) is to keep with and (part of a journalist job) is to make analyses of..

Which is incorrect. How is keep with correct? Note that the usage of to makes the sentence parallel to the first part of the sentence, rather than the currenr events.

Compare with C:

Part of a journalist job is to keep up with (current events) and analyse current events.
