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.

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.

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?

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
CR Butler Questions December - 12 :Q1. Studies show that families in which both the husband and the wife are working normally tend to be single-child families. It is commonly understood that
such partners prefer to have only one child because of the lack of time on their hands to raise more than one child. However, other studies have shown that in households that have both the husband and wife working but that have more than one child, the partners married each other in their early twenties. Since
majority of the working parents in single-child households marry post the age of thirty-five, it is clear that the real reason such families have only one child is the age of the parents that does not biologically allow them to have more than one child.
