Q1. A two-year study beginning in 1977 found that, among 85-year-old people, those whose immune systems were weakest were twice as likely to die within two years as others in the study. The cause of their deaths, however, was more often heart disease, against which the immune system does not protect, than cancer or infections, which are attacked by the immune system. Which of the following, if true, would offer the best prospects for explaining deaths in which weakness of the immune system, though present, played no causal role? (A) There were twice as many infections among those in the study with the weakest immune systems as among those with the strongest immune systems. (B) The majority of those in the study with the strongest immune systems died from infection or cancer by 1987. (C) Some of the drugs that had been used to treat the symptoms of heart disease had a side effect of weakening the immune system. (D) Most of those in the study who survived beyond the two-year period had recovered from a serious infection sometime prior to 1978. (E) Those in the study who survived into the 1980s had, in 1976, strengthened their immune systems through drug therapy.

Q2. Editorial: Almost every year the Smithfield River floods the coastal fishing community of Redhook, which annually spends $3 million on the cleanup. Some residents have proposed damming the river, which would cost $5 million but would prevent the flooding. However, their position is misguided. A dam would prevent nutrients in the river from flowing into the ocean. Fish that now feed on those nutrients would start feeding elsewhere. The loss of these fish would cost Redhook $10 million annually. Which one of the following most accurately expresses the main conclusion of the editorial’s argument? (A) The Smithfield River should be dammed to prevent flooding. (B) Nutrients from the Smithfield River are essential to the local fish population. (C) Damming the Smithfield River is not worth the high construction costs for such a project. (D) For Redhook to build a dam on the Smithfield River would be a mistake. (E) The Smithfield River floods cost Redhook $3 million every year.

CR Questions December - 17 :Q1. In recent years, networks of fiber-optic cable have been replacing electrical wire for transmitting telecommunications signals. Signals running through fiber-optic cables deteriorate, and so the signals must be run through a piece of equipment called a regenerator before being transmitted farther. Light-Line is the leading manufacturer of signal regenerators. Therefore, Light-Line is one of the companies that will most benefit if new long-distance fiber-optic telecommunications networks are constructed.
Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the prediction about Light-Line’s prospects?
A. Telecommunications signals sent along electrical wires can travel much farther than signals transmitted through fiber-optic before needing to be regenerated.
B. Expanding its production of regenerators will require Light-Line to spend proportionately more on labor and materials.
C. The volume of signals that a fiber-optic cable can carry is several thousand times greater than the volume that can be carried by an electrical wire of similar size.
D. There are technologies that enable telecommunications signals to be transmitted without either wire or fiber-optic cable.
E. Several manufacturers are developing regenerator technologies that will allow signals to be transmitted many times farther than at present before requiring regeneration.
Q2. The Ergonomic Society conducted a study that indicated that many people develop severe back problems during adulthood, and that virtually all such people who received chiropractic treatment showed great improvement. Therefore, in order to minimize the proportion of the population that suffers from back pain, the Ergonomic Society recommended that chiropractic treatment be directed toward those adults who suffer from severe back problems.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
(A) Any person who receives chiropractic treatment for back pain may also benefit from other forms of treatment.
(B) Large insurance carriers cover chiropractic care for back problems to a lesser degree than they do other medical treatments.
(C) Individuals who receive chiropractic or other treatment prior to developing severe back problems are not less likely to develop back pain than those who do not.
(D) Chiropractic treatment is more effective in treating severe back problems when utilized over a long period of time, as opposed to sporadically.
(E) Severe back pain and other problems often cause individuals to miss workdays.
