Q2. Caffeine is a chemical compound that stimulates the human central nervous system. Research into the effects of caffeine has been performed by a myriad of companies from different places around the world, and new evidence is published every few months. High caffeine intakes cause nervousness and insomnia in some subjects while drowsiness and repose are experienced by others. Furthermore, some people report a laxative effect while in others it can result in constipation. Which of the following conclusions is most strongly supported by the information above? (A) Since there is not enough consistency with regards to results, research of such a chemical is not advantageous and should be discontinued. (B) The individuality of human subjects creates difficulty when attempting to form a definitive judgement about the symptoms of caffeine. (C) Caffeine does not affect the central nervous system in all people and, therefore, physiological symptoms can also vary. (D) Caffeine can act as an addictive substance causing unpleasant side effects and harm to the human body’s basic functions. (E) To conduct more accurate research, examinations should be carried out on larger test groups.

Q1. Brand Zzzoom released a running shoe with a shock-absorbing sole developed using a new foam polymer that reduces muscle fatigue in the legs of runners. The density of the foam, however, results in the overall shoe weight being slightly heavier than most high quality running shoes. Professional runners who welcome the use of Zzzoom’s new shoe will definitely experience an improved performance in their runs. Which of the following, if true, most seriously strengthens the argument? (A) The overall shoe weight is affected not only by the density of the sole but also by the materials used in the other components of the shoe. (B) Since the muscles lifting the leg also lift the shoe, a lighter shoe is likely to produce better results than a heavier one. (C) Research shows that 72% of a runner’s muscular energy is expired on impact with the running surface. (D) Too light a running shoe can result in the emergence of knee problems during old age. (E) Aerodynamics can be critical in the optimization of a professional running shoe’s performance.

CR Questions January- 15 :

Q1. Wildlife management experts should not interfere with the natural habitats of creatures in the wild, because manipulating the environment to make it easier for an endangered species to survive in a habitat invariably makes it harder for nonendangered species to survive in that habitat.

The argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it


(A) fails to consider that wildlife management experts probably know best how to facilitate the survival of an endangered species in a habitat

(B) fails to recognize that a nonendangered species can easily become an endangered species

(C) overlooks the possibility that saving an endangered species in a habitat is incompatible with preserving the overall diversity of species in that habitat

(D) presumes, without providing justification, that the survival of each endangered species is equally important to the health of the environment

(E) takes for granted that preserving a currently endangered species in a habitat does not have higher priority than preserving species in that habitat that are not endangered

Q2. Consumers seek to purchase the highest quality at the lowest prices. Companies that do not offer products that attract consumers eventually go bankrupt. Therefore, companies that offer neither the best quality nor the lowest price will eventually go bankrupt.

The conclusion above follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?

(A) No company succeeds in producing a product that is both highest in quality and lowest in price.
(B) Products that are neither highest in quality nor lowest in price do not attract consumers.
(C) Any company that offers either the highest quality or the lowest price will avoid bankruptcy.
(D) Some consumers will not continue to patronize a company purely out of brand loyalty.
(E) No company is driven from the market for reasons other than failing to meet consumer demands.

CR Questions January- 16 :

Q1. In 1980, a Danish ten-øre coin minted in 1747 was sold at auction for $8,000. Eleanor Bixby owns another Danish ten-øre coin minted in 1747. When she puts it on the market next week, it will fetch a price over $18,000.

Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the conclusion drawn above?

(A) Since 1980, the average price for rare coins has increased by over 150 percent.
(B) There are only four coins like the one in question in the entire world.
(C) Since 1980, the consumer price index has risen by over 150 percent.
(D) In 1986, a previously unknown cache of one hundred coins just like the one in question was found.
(E) Thirty prominent, wealthy coin collectors are expected to bid for Bixby’s coin.

Q2. One theory to explain the sudden extinction of all dinosaurs points to “drug overdoses” as the cause. Angiosperms, a certain class of plants, first appeared at the time that dinosaurs became extinct. These plants produce amino-acid-based alkaloids that are psychoactive agents. Most plant-eating mammals avoid these potentially lethal poisons because they taste bitter. Moreover, mammals have livers that help detoxify such drugs. However, dinosaurs could neither taste the bitterness nor detoxify the substance once it was ingested. This theory receives its strongest support from the fact that it helps explain why so many dinosaur fossils are found in unusual and contorted positions.

Which one of the following, if true, would most undermine the theory presented above?


(A) Many fossils of large mammals are found in contorted positions.

(B) Angiosperms provide a great deal of nutrition.

(C) Carnivorous dinosaurs mostly ate other, vegetarian, dinosaurs that fed on angiosperms.

(D) Some poisonous plants do not produce amino-acid-based alkaloids.

(E) Mammals sometimes die of drug overdoses from eating angiosperms.

CR Questions January- 17 :

Q1. Infant development researchers released a study recently that compared two groups of babies: those who were fed breast-milk during their first six months of life and those who were fed formula during the same period. The study’s results showed that the group of infants fed breast-milk weighed significantly more on average at one year of age than did the group fed formula. The researchers concluded that a breast-milk diet leads to greater weight gain among babies than a formula diet.

Which of the following would cast the most doubt on the researchers’ conclusion?

A. The mothers of infants in the breast-milk-fed group weighed significantly more on average than the mothers of babies in the formula-fed group.
B. Many of the infants in the formula-fed group at one year of age weighed more than the average weight of the breast-milk fed group at one year of age.
C. The average weight of the infants in the breast-milk-fed group was significantly greater than the average weight of the babies in the formula-fed group when the study began.
D. In controlled laboratory studies, a hormone found in breast-milk has been linked to increased weight gain in baby mice.
E. The average amounts of breast-milk and formula consumed by the two groups of infants over the course of the study were approximately equal.

Q2. Studies show that individuals with a high propensity for taking risks tend to have fewer ethical principles to which they consciously adhere in their business interactions than do most people. On the other hand, individuals with a strong desire to be accepted socially tend to have more such principles than do most people. And, in general, the more ethical principles to which someone consciously adheres, the more ethical is that person’s behavior. Therefore, business schools can promote more ethical behavior among future businesspeople by promoting among their students the desire to be accepted socially and discouraging the propensity for taking risks.

The reasoning in the argument is flawed because the argument

(A) infers from the fact that something is usually true that it is always true
(B) takes for granted that promoting ethical behavior is more important than any other goal
(C) concludes merely from the fact that two things are correlated that one causes the other
(D) takes for granted that certain actions are morally wrong simply because most people believe that they are morally wrong
(E) draws a conclusion that simply restates a claim presented in support of that conclusion

Q1. Infant development researchers released a study recently that compared two groups of babies: those who were fed breast-milk during their first six months of life and those who were fed formula during the same period. The study’s results showed that the group of infants fed breast-milk weighed significantly more on average at one year of age than did the group fed formula. The researchers concluded that a breast-milk diet leads to greater weight gain among babies than a formula diet. Which of the following would cast the most doubt on the researchers’ conclusion? A. The mothers of infants in the breast-milk-fed group weighed significantly more on average than the mothers of babies in the formula-fed group. B. Many of the infants in the formula-fed group at one year of age weighed more than the average weight of the breast-milk fed group at one year of age. C. The average weight of the infants in the breast-milk-fed group was significantly greater than the average weight of the babies in the formula-fed group when the study began. D. In controlled laboratory studies, a hormone found in breast-milk has been linked to increased weight gain in baby mice. E. The average amounts of breast-milk and formula consumed by the two groups of infants over the course of the study were approximately equal.

CR Questions January- 18 :

Q1. A growing world population has caused growing concerns about increasing famine. The population in 2000 was 6 billion. Ten years later the population was 7 billion. There were also more people affected by famines in 2010 than in 2000. Furthermore, in each year from 2000 to 2010, when the world’s population increased, so did the number of those affected by famine.

Based on the information given, which of the following is true?


A. From 2000 to 2010, when the world’s population increased, the percentage of the population affected by famine also increased

B. If the population increased in 2005, then more people were affected by famine in 2005 than in 2004

C. If the population decreased in a particular year between 2000 and 2010, the number of those affected by famine also decreased in that year

D. There was greater concern about famine in 2010 than in 2000

E. The population increased in every year between 2000 to 2010

Q2. Previously, no speed limits were set on drivers in Bravia, and it was left to the discretion of the Bravian drivers to drive prudently. In 2005, in an attempt to reduce instances of speeding and thereby reduce speeding induced fatalities among the Bravian drivers, the government introduced speeding limits. Such fatalities have reduced significantly since the introduction of speeding limits. However, data from traffic cameras show that the proportion of drivers who were driving their vehicles at high speeds is not lower than that before 2005.

Which of the following, if true of Bravia, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy?

A. The proportion of cars being driven on the roads post 2005 is not the same as prior to 2005.
B. The proportion of people using seat belts and air-bags, proven to be effective safety measures, has increased significantly post 2004.
C. Speeding is higher among the younger set of drivers than among the older, more cautious ones.
D. Most people find it very hard to give up their old habits of speeding even when faced with regulations restraining them from it.
E. The number of miles driven per car on average is no lower than it was prior to 2005.

A) we are not concerned with percentages as premise evaluates the condition based on hard numbers
eg -

100 people in total in 2000
50 affected by famine, so 50% affected

200 people in total in 2010
100 affected by famine, again 50% affected

surely, number of people affected increased but "percentage" remained same.


B) this seems ok as we have narrowed our comparison between 2 years

C) not concerned "if the population decreased" we are talking about increasing trend

D) "concern" about famine is not our concern

E) increased "every year" - is too much assumption on the plate


option (B) seems "best" of all other choices available

CR Questions January- 19 :

Q1. Political scientist: One of the most interesting dilemmas in contemporary democratic politics concerns the regulation of political campaign spending. People certainly should be free, within broad limits, to spend their money as they choose. On the other hand, candidates who can vastly outspend all rivals have an unfair advantage in publicizing their platforms. Democratic governments have a strong obligation to ensure that all voices have an equal chance to be heard, but governments should not subsidize expensive campaigns for each candidate. The resolution of the dilemma, therefore, is clear: _______.

Which one of the following most logically completes the political scientist’s argument?

A. only candidates with significant campaign resources should be permitted to run for public office
B. an upper limit on the political campaign spending of each candidate is warranted
C. government subsidization of all political campaigns at a low percentage of their total cost is warranted
D. all wealthy persons should be prohibited from spending their own money on political campaigns
E. each candidate should be allowed to spend as much money on a political campaign as any other candidate chooses to spend

Q2. Recently, a team of scientists digging through a tar pit unearthed a jawbone fossil. Initially, the team hypothesized that the jawbone came from a young gomphothere, a now extinct distant relative of the elephant, since the teeth were those of a juvenile. The gomphothere, however, is known for its large molars, and the teeth on the jawbone would not allow enough room for the molars of an adult gomphothere to fit. Based on this evidence, the scientists conclude that the jawbone fossil provides evidence of a distinct species closely related to the gomphothere.

Which of the following, if true, would best provide evidence showing that the conclusion above is possibly flawed?


(A) The manner in which teeth grow provide sufficient evidence for the accurate classification of a bygone species.

(B) In order for the molars of an adult gomphothereto emerge, several juvenile teeth are first forced out of the gums to accommodate the molars.

(C) The molars of an adult mastodon, a close relative of the gomphothere, are similar in size to those of an adult gomphothere.

(D) Many fossils exist that have yet to be conclusively attributed to any one species.

(E) The juvenile jawbone of a species related to a gomphothere is longer than the juvenile jawbone of a gomphothere.

Democracy should perform 2 things.
1. Ensure there is fair play in campaign spending
2. Maintain that all voices are heard equally

To do this it can put a cap on the spending itself so that it will not have to subsidize expensive campaigns for each candidate.

Option B ?

yes, before the last line states "governments should not subsidize expensive campaigns". so we can say "governments should not put an upper limit on campaign expense"

Q1. Whenever a major political scandal occurs in Pauly County it is followed by a dramatic increase in the number of suspected political scandals reported by the local press - a phenomenon that lasts anywhere from a few months to several years after the publicity given to the aftermath of actual scandals focuses attention on the suspicion of other political scandals. Consequently, officials in the county claim that the increase in the number of reported scandals is caused more by the frequency of news coverage than by an actual increase in the number of scandals.

Which of the following, if true, would seriously weaken the assertions of the government officials?

A] The publicity surrounding political scandals is largely limited to the voting region in which the original scandal occurred.

B] It has often been observed that in Pauly County the branches of government are so tightly connected that one discovered scandal usually leads to a series of other related offenses.

C] News organizations do not have any guidelines to help them decide the extent to which any given scandal warrants coverage.

D] Political scandals are reported by news organizations only when the organization is certain it will obtain a substantial increase in viewership through such coverage.

E] Studies by non-partisan political analysts suggest that the average number of genuine political scandals does not change significantly from year to year or region to region

CR Questions January- 23 :

Q1. Recently, a team of scientists digging through a tar pit unearthed a jawbone fossil. Initially, the team hypothesized that the jawbone came from a young gomphothere, a now extinct distant relative of the elephant, since the teeth were those of a juvenile. The gomphothere, however, is known for its large molars, and the teeth on the jawbone would not allow enough room for the molars of an adult gomphothere to fit. Based on this evidence, the scientists conclude that the jawbone fossil provides evidence of a distinct species closely related to the gomphothere.

Which of the following, if true, would best provide evidence showing that the conclusion above is possibly flawed?


(A) The manner in which teeth grow provide sufficient evidence for the accurate classification of a bygone species.

(B) In order for the molars of an adult gomphothereto emerge, several juvenile teeth are first forced out of the gums to accommodate the molars.

(C) The molars of an adult mastodon, a close relative of the gomphothere, are similar in size to those of an adult gomphothere.

(D) Many fossils exist that have yet to be conclusively attributed to any one species.

(E) The juvenile jawbone of a species related to a gomphothere is longer than the juvenile jawbone of a gomphothere.
