Verbal Question of the Day Chat Group

I considered it because it isn’t a definition.
Others don’t fit in well, with elimination - C is not parallel (tense wise) and intends is wrong
D "is" is not parallel again
E is wrong as intends cannot be used for a term that is being defined. Terrorism doesn’t intend but the act of terrorism intends.

I’d say D as well

How would it’s represent UFOs? - it’s plural

B

Agreed - the act cannot actively “intend”

CR Questions November - 15 :

Q1. Which of the following best completes the passage below?

Most design firms place heavy emphasis on previous experience when looking to hire a new employee. A recent survey shows that designers aged between 25 and 35 come up with new ideas about 30% more frequently than designers aged between 35 and 50. This data clearly suggests that __________.


A. the success of a design firm is based completely on its staff since the product it provides is creativity itself

B. designers after the age of 45 are usually in positions of management, and not in those requiring creative problem-solving

C. within the said age groups, older designers, thanks to their acquired experience and style, are more creative than younger designers

D. designers with less than ten years of experience are more creative than designers with more than ten years of experience

E. design firms should be more open-minded when considering the employment of recently graduated designers

Q2. The most effective and precise surveying technique for determining the extent of income tax evasion in the United States is an anonymous workplace survey. This type of survey precisely reaches the target group, individuals with an income, and, because those individuals do not provide names or personal information, confidentiality is assured. We can then create an accurate picture of the amount and distribution of income tax evasion in the United States.

Which of the following provides the most serious criticism of the argument above?


A. The plan overlooks the fact that a significant number of income tax evaders may have no legal source of income or place of employment.

B. The plan overlooks the fact that some people may lie for fear of being identified as tax evaders.

C. The plan does not distinguish between tax evasion and the legitimate use of tax loopholes.

D. The plan does not distinguish between tax evasion and the legitimate use of tax loopholes.

E. The plan’s anonymity prevents government officials from identifying income tax evaders and prosecuting them.



Difficulty - Hard

B- Pretty common to lie if you’re good at it or terribly bad at it that you dont know how to lie but you still do it for evasion.
Here’s my reasoning. - I could be wrong
A- Busted cause we’re doing the survey in the company
C & D- This is something that gov authorities would be able to identify better, civilians do make mistakes here
E- The purpose of the survey is to gauge the amount of tax evasion not penalize them for evading.

I was wrong. Answer and discussion can be found in this FORUM post.

Love that my confidence got busted early morning

A

You cannot accurately account for all the income tax evasion in the United states , without taking into consideration the people who do not have a legal source of income and who do not have a workplace.

E

A for sure. The argument isn’t about catching evaders or the lying, its about determining the extent. Only A shows that amount might be much bigger or not accurate, as a lot of tax evaders work in the shadow economy.
