D:

We need to compare "in capitalist system" with "in socialist system" - A, B, and C are out
E - incorrectly placed modifier and awkward sentence formation

B

In "they quickly modified", the pronoun should refer back to Chrysler and should agree with "its commercial vehicles". Therefore, A and C are out
E is out because "quickly modifying" incorrectly establishes a cause-effect relationship with the clause before the comma
D is out because it wrongly uses the sequence of the events. In general, the even with "had/had been" should have occurred before "was/were". Therefore, D implies that the "baby boomers hauling" was a later activity in the past and "Chrysler modifying vehicles" is an earlier event, which is illogical

Q1. The residents of the city of Tibica are supplied water by two local corporations: TMC (Tibica Municipal Corporation) and TWMC (TibicaWater Management Corporation). Under pressure from the government, TMC recently increased its supply of water to the city. Even though TWMC maintained its supply level, the residents complained that their overall supply of water has reduced. Therefore, it seems likely that Which of the following statements best completes the above passage A. In the recent past, the number of regions where the demand for water has increased has been greater than the number of regions where the demand for water has decreased. B. In some areas of Tibica, the amount of water lost during distribution as a proportion of the amount of water supplied has increased C. The complaints made by the residents of Tibica against the corporations that supply water are always driven more by perception than by ground realities. D. TMWC, which used to supply water uniformly across the city, has rearranged its distribution such that TMWC’s water supply in an area is proportional only to the demand in that area E. Even though TMC increased its supply of water to the city, it didn’t ensure that the supply was proportional to the demand.

Q2. Data related to the past 30 years reveals some interesting insights about the propensity of a country to go into a war. Over the past 30 years, the countries that maintained the highest military strengths were also more aggressively involved in a higher number of wars. Moreover, the likelihood of getting aggressively involved in a war increased for countries whose military strength increased significantly during this period. Since there was no major world-wide war phenomenon in the recent past, it is likely that an increased military strength causes the increase in aggressive behavior and the higher involvement in wars. Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument? A. The data doesn’t distinguish between the countries that were consistently involved in war and the countries that were involved in more wars during the beginning and end of the 30-year period. B. Some countries cited in the data were rarely involved in any war C. Data shows that none of the countries that had zero increase in military strength showed any increase in their involvement in wars. D. Situations that trigger an increase in military strength such as political tensions with neighboring countries are also likely to increase a country’s propensity to become involved in wars. E. Data related to some of these countries is available only for a partial duration out of the 30-year period

CR Butler Questions December - 28 :

Q1. Last year, football player James McGuel faced severe criticism for his poor show that contributed significantly to OldFort United’s worst performance in the history of National Premier League Football Championship. Despite the fact that OldFort United has been winning many more games this year and that James McGuel is averaging more goals per game than last year, critics continue to doubt McGuel’s capability and are voting against his inclusion in the team for the next season of the championship.

Which of the following statements most explains the paradox in the above argument?


A. OldFort United has not been playing more matches this year

B. Football critics are often wrong in their predictions.

C. OldFort United’s decision to hire Wayne Bruce has turned out well for the team as he is the leading scorer for the team this year

D. Many critics have raised questions about the actual nationality of James McGuel, making it likely that he will be excluded from the World Championship squad for the country.

E. After last year’s poor showdown, OldFort United has been relegated from the premier league and is currently playing against weaker opponents.

Q2. Two years ago, after witnessing several consecutive years of excessive rent increases in the city and continual protests about the same, the city of Raylayer decided to fix an upper limit on these increases. Since then the landlords have not been able to increase the rent amounts substantially, but on an average the total amount people have been spending to rent similar accommodation has increased at a rate much higher than the increase in the rents.

Which of the following, it true, most helps to explain why the rent cap did not achieve its goal?


A. The demand for independent houses, houses that are typically rented at a much higher rate than apartments in a multi-storeyed buildings, has not gone down in the past two years.

B. Landlords have the liberty to hike maintenance charges, charges not limited by the ceiling on the rent.

C. Seven years ago, a similar rent ceiling program was implemented in Raylayer, but it was subsequently cancelled because of the frequent protests by different associations that protect the interest of landlords in Raylayer.

D. Raylayer is one of the most expensive cities to live in the country.

E. The overall demand for rented accommodation in Raylayer has been at an all-time low since many people decided to move to nearby cities two years ago when the city faced excessive hikes in rents.

CR Butler Questions January- 2 :

Q1. Because of the lack of available rooms, The Day, the most popular hotel for accommodating wedding guests in Brambia, usually transfers some of its guests to another local hotel called My Day. This wedding season, although The Day has the usual number of guests per wedding to accommodate and the same number of wedding bookings, it will probably have to hire more rooms than usual from My Day as some rooms in The Day have been closed for renovation.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends

A. My Day will have the same number of original guests as it had last wedding season

B. This season The Day will have the same number of children to accommodate as wedding guests as it had in the last season.

C. The number of guests accommodated per room in The Day will not go up significantly

D. Both hotels can accommodate the same number of guests per room.

E. The number of wedding bookings at The Day is greater than or equal to the number at My Day.

Q2. When construction workers start taking breaks from work to keep from burning out, a cyclical chain of events starts. Such breaks during work hours lead to increased work load, which in turn prompts construction managers to exert pressure on the workers to finish their tasks as soon as possible. This, in turn, leads construction workers to take longer and more frequent breaks.

The cyclical chain of events described above could not result unless which of the following were true?

A. Managers discourage workers from taking any kind of breaks, even for preventing burnouts, during working hours.

B. Many workers do not take work breaks and do not believe that work breaks help them increase their productivity.

C. Many construction companies do not deduct money from workers’ wages for taking frequent breaks from work.

D. Construction companies whose workers do not take frequent breaks have good gyms where the employees can work out and evade burnout.

E. When managers estimate timings to complete a project, they do not account for breaks taken by workers.

Q1. The government of the country of Marina has recently implemented several changes in its regulations governing the migration of people in and out of the country. Even though the changed regulations will not result in any decline in immigration, one of the causes of high unemployment in the country, the government is confident that the unemployment will reduce in the coming months because of the changes.

Which of the following, if true, provides the best reason for the expectation?

C. Many Marinian companies have now stopped outsourcing their customer-service requirements from other countries, a change that will add thousands of new jobs to the economy.

Q1. Journalist: Even though it may be true that the system of patenting encourages patent holders to share information that they otherwise would not have made open because of the fear of competitors benefitting from the research done solely by the patent holder, patenting does severely retard the growth of innovations in a field as _________________________________________________________________________________________

Which of the following, if true, best completes the above passage?

A. only the patent holder is able to reap the monetary benefits for the amount of time the patent is valid.

B. not only do patent holders have the exclusive right to the patented technology but also to any kind of developmental research on it.

D. the usual period for which a company can hold a patent is twenty years during which patent holder can license the patented innovation to others.

E. even though not all innovations that are filed for patents are granted the status, some of them are extremely informative and useful for developmental work.

Q2. The high rate of depression among people in countries that do not receive much sunlight most of the year prompted researchers at the University of Frankphyl to study the link between a lack of vitamin D, which is found naturally in sunlight, and the incidence of depression. The study found that in patients with a relatively severe degree of depression, the level of vitamin D was lower than in patients with a milder degree of depression. The researchers hence concluded that people in such countries can avert depression by including vitamin D supplements in their diet.

Which of the following is required for the conclusion drawn by the researchers to hold true?

A. There is a significant difference in the effect that vitamin D obtained directly from sunlight and that obtained from dietary supplements has on the health of a patient suffering from depression.

B. Patients with the most severe degree of depression belonged to countries that do not receive sunlight up to extended periods of six months.

C. Both people with a severe degree of depression and those with a mild degree of depression belonged to the same economic strata.

D. The lack of vitamin D is not triggered by depression in patients.

E. The required dose for vitamin D supplements is significantly higher for patients with severe depression than for patients with mild depression.

CR Butler Questions January- 5 :

CR Questions January- 5 :

Q1. Budget constraints have made police officials consider reassigning a considerable number of officers from traffic enforcement to work on higher-priority, serious crimes. Reducing traffic enforcement for this reason would be counterproductive, however, in light of the tendency of criminals to use cars when engaged in the commission of serious crimes. An officer stopping a car for a traffic violation can make a search that turns up evidence of serious crime.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument given?

(A) An officer who stops a car containing evidence of the commission of a serious crime risks a violent confrontation, even if the vehicle was stopped only for a traffic violation.

(B) When the public becomes aware that traffic enforcement has lessened, it typically becomes lax in obeying traffic rules.

(C) Those willing to break the law to commit serious crimes are often in committing such crimes unwilling to observe what they regard as the lesser constraints of traffic law.

(D) The offenders committing serious crimes who would be caught because of traffic violations are not the same group of individuals as those who would be caught if the arresting officers were reassigned from traffic enforcement.

(E) The great majority of persons who are stopped by officers for traffic violations are not guilty of any serious crimes.

(E) The great majority of persons who are stopped by officers for traffic violations are not guilty of any serious crimes.

Q2. Countries that repeatedly violate international trade laws are usually penalized for such violations by being banned from the international trade market for short periods of time following each infraction. Analyses of trade market behavior have shown that over 50 percent of such countries exhibit a marked tendency to wait for a period of at least twelve months before violating the laws again. Some experts believe that this trend suggests that these repeat offenders may be kept in check by banning them as punishment. However, the penalty for such infractions should clearly be harsher, since just below 50 percent of the violators, after all, do repeat the offence within the span of a year.

In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?


A. The first is an opinion that is opposed by the author’s conclusion; the second is that conclusion.

B. The first is a judgment that is disputed in the argument; the second is an observation that supports the author’s conclusion.

C. The first is an explanation that the argument as a whole seeks to establish; the second is the main conclusion of the argument.

D. The first is a belief that the argument opposes; the second is a consideration raised to support that belief.

E. The first is a belief that the argument does not support; the second is the position that the argument as a whole seeks to establish.

CR Butler Questions January- 6 :

Q1. CEO of a newspaper company: In the last six months, we have faced a 20% increase in the delay of newspaper delivery. This issue will be resolved if we ensure that all our papers are packed and ready to be delivered by 3 a.m. every day.

Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the effectiveness of the solution proposed by the CEO?


A. Most branches of the newspaper deliver their papers well before the recipients wake up every morning

B. Some of the company’s branch managers do not believe that the delays can be avoided.

C. The inefficiency of the delivery service is what leads to the delay in delivery in most cases.

D. Many location heads completely support the CEO’s suggestion

E. Some of the company’s employees believe that the papers cannot be ready before 3.30 a.m.

Q2. It is possible to prevent murders if the knowledge of state of mind of murderers is known in advance. Looking at the current technology curve, it is predicted that miniature devices that can judge human’s state of mind and embedded in the body will be available. Hence, in 20 years, it would be possible to reduce the number of murders considerably by embedding these devices in the mind of suspicious personnel who have a history of crime.

Which of the following, if true, casts most serious doubt on the conclusion made by the argument?

A. Current privacy laws do not permit embedding monitoring devices in humans.
B. It is estimated that these devices will be expensive costing upwards of $5000/piece.
C. It was recently proved that techniques used by mind readers are not repeatable and will not hold their ground in the court of law.
D. People who are arrested when they are about to commit a murder cannot be charged since the murder never happened.
E. Looking at the pace of current technology improvement, it seems highly doubtful that scientists will be able to produce a miniature device smaller than human cells.

Q2. It is possible to prevent murders if the knowledge of state of mind of murderers is known in advance. Looking at the current technology curve, it is predicted that miniature devices that can judge human’s state of mind and embedded in the body will be available. Hence, in 20 years, it would be possible to reduce the number of murders considerably by embedding these devices in the mind of suspicious personnel who have a history of crime. Which of the following, if true, casts most serious doubt on the conclusion made by the argument? A. Current privacy laws do not permit embedding monitoring devices in humans. B. It is estimated that these devices will be expensive costing upwards of $5000/piece. C. It was recently proved that techniques used by mind readers are not repeatable and will not hold their ground in the court of law. D. People who are arrested when they are about to commit a murder cannot be charged since the murder never happened. E. Looking at the pace of current technology improvement, it seems highly doubtful that scientists will be able to produce a miniature device smaller than human cells.
