Q1. Essayist: Lessing contended that an art form’s medium dictates the kind of representation the art form must employ in order to be legitimate; painting, for example, must represent simultaneous arrays of colored shapes, while literature, consisting of words read in succession, must represent events or actions occurring in sequence. The claim about literature must be rejected, however, if one regards as legitimate the imagists’ poems, which consist solely of amalgams of disparate images. Which one of the following, if assumed, enables the essayist’s conclusion to be properly drawn? (A) An amalgam of disparate images cannot represent a sequence of events or actions. (B) Poems whose subject matter is not appropriate to their medium are illegitimate. (C) Lessing was not aware that the imagists’ poetry consists of an amalgam of disparate images. (D) All art, even the imagists’ poetry, depicts or represents some subject matter. (E) All art represents something either as simultaneous or as successive.

Q2. In country X, the production of fish and fish oil over the last decade have been barely sufficient to meet the domestic demand. However, due to a recent rise in health consciousness among the people of this country, fish oil consumption has been on the rise. A considerable amount of fish is required to produce fish oil. Therefore, since production of fish is not increasing anytime soon, the country needs to import either fish oil or fish or both. Which of the following strengthens the notion that country X would still need to import either fish oil or fish or both? A. Even though there has been a globally increasing trend of veganism – a lifestyle that involves consumption of only plant-based foods and products, hardly anyone from country X has subscribed to a plant-based lifestyle. B. To address the increasing demand for fish oil, changes have been made to government policies in order to allow for expansion of fish oil production facilities. C. Government aid is being provided to fish farmers to help them purchase the latest fishing equipment which is most effective in catching fish. D. Import of aquatic animals and their products is heavily regulated in various countries across the world including country X. E. As people of country X prefer fish to prawn, import of fish negatively impacts the local shrimp industry

CR Questions January- 30 :

Q1. In North America, of the people who buy cell phones, the percentage of people who bought phones from local manufacturers has decreased by five percent in the past one year. Since many local phone manufacturers in North America depend heavily on the local population for their customer base, this reduction is likely to have caused a noticeable negative economic effect on these manufacturers.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

(A) In the past year, the total number of people buying new cell phones has increased considerably in North America.

(B) Some people from Asia also buy cell phones from manufacturers in North America.

(C) The cost price of cell phones has increased considerably, and so the selling price has also increased correspondingly.

(D) Many new cell phone manufacturers have entered the market in North America.

(E) Those who do not purchase from local manufacturers do not pay a high price for phones.

Q2. Nolutin, a new, effective heart medicine, is manufactured using oil that is obtained from a rare variety of fish called Orintok, increasing the demand for this fish. With the latest innovation in technology, Orintok can now easily be farmed if the required environmental conditions are maintained, including a set water temperature and a constant replacement of fresh water in the tanks. In fact, looking at the increased demand for this high priced fish, many fish farmers who were earlier farming Astintok fish are now planning to farm Orintok.

Which of the following, if true, provides the best reason that the increased demand for the fish is not temporary?

A. The demand for Astintok has been on the rise for the past few years and might slightly rise this year as well.

B. A synthesized, inexpensive substitute for the fish oil obtained from Orintok has not been well received in the market.

C. If most Astintok farmers choose to farm only Orintok then the supply of the fish will significantly exceed the demand for the fish.

D. Tountin, another new medicine, is also manufactured using the oil from Orintok.

E. Some physicians do not prefer prescribing Nolutin to patients because taking this medicine can slightly increase the risk of high blood pressure.

CR Questions February - 1 :

Q1. It is often argued that the traditional newspaper has little relevance in today’s world as people no longer prefer to consume the news in a linear fashion; they prefer to pick and choose which stories they want to read, a choice that they can exercise freely on the online news portals. However, while it may be relatively easier to choose and reject stories in the digital version, news-consumption from the traditional newspaper any day contributes more to enhancing the consumers’ general awareness as__________________________________

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

(A) traditional newspapers have more articles on sections such as economics, politics, science etc.

(B) various tabloid newspaper now design their papers in a fashion similar to how readers would like to consume news on the online portals.

(C) the probability of reading stories on topics that one may not normally take notice of is lower while consuming the news from an online portal than from a traditional newspaper

(D) the traditional newspaper too has sections such as the editorial, sports etc. in which people can easily select the stories they want to read.

(E) various studies have shown that people who prefer reading e-books have a shorter focus span than people who prefer to read books on paper.

Q2. In a cooking competition, various family-owned restaurants cooked dishes made from recipes that have been in their families for generations. The cake that won the competition was made from a recipe that head-chef Pierre Limore claims has been in his family for three generations since the 1940s. Although the sous-chef who actually baked the winning dish used an ingredient that has only recently become popular in the baking industry, around the late 1920s the same ingredient had been commonly used by chefs before it was temporarily declared unfit for human consumption.

Which of the following can be concluded on the basis of the information given above?

(A) The sous-chef who baked the cake was aware of the fact that the use of the specific ingredient would not violate the rules of the competition.
(B) Had the head-chef Pierre Limore notified the authorities holding the competition of the list of ingredients, it is highly unlikely that his dish would have won the competition
(C) The use of the recipe used to bake the winning dish does not belie the claim made by the head-chef
(D) The authorities holding the competition had a mechanism to verify whether the recipes used in baking the dishes in the competition matched the original recipes first used to make the dishes.
(E) To ensure that such competitions are fairly conducted, only chefs who can exactly replicate the original dish should be allowed to participate.

Nolutin, a new, effective heart medicine, is manufactured using oil that is obtained from a rare variety of fish called Orintok, increasing the demand for this fish. With the latest innovation in technology, Orintok can now easily be farmed if the required environmental conditions are maintained, including a set water temperature and a constant replacement of fresh water in the tanks. In fact, looking at the increased demand for this high priced fish, many fish farmers who were earlier farming Astintok fish are now planning to farm Orintok.

Which of the following, if true, provides the best reason that the increased demand for the fish is not temporary?

A. The demand for Astintok has been on the rise for the past few years and might slightly rise this year as well.

B. A synthesized, inexpensive substitute for the fish oil obtained from Orintok has not been well received in the market.

C. If most Astintok farmers choose to farm only Orintok then the supply of the fish will significantly exceed the demand for the fish.

D. Tountin, another new medicine, is also manufactured using the oil from Orintok.

E. Some physicians do not prefer prescribing Nolutin to patients because taking this medicine can slightly increase the risk of high blood pressure.


A - It cant ensure you that demand for this fish oil will not decrease in near future
B - this option states that people are not interested to use synthesized oil, so we can say demand of oil from Orintok will not decrease. Correct choice
C - it is far from our reason
D - may be true, not needed
E - it talks about other issues, irrelevant

Q2. In a cooking competition, various family-owned restaurants cooked dishes made from recipes that have been in their families for generations. The cake that won the competition was made from a recipe that head-chef Pierre Limore claims has been in his family for three generations since the 1940s. Although the sous-chef who actually baked the winning dish used an ingredient that has only recently become popular in the baking industry, around the late 1920s the same ingredient had been commonly used by chefs before it was temporarily declared unfit for human consumption. Which of the following can be concluded on the basis of the information given above? (A) The sous-chef who baked the cake was aware of the fact that the use of the specific ingredient would not violate the rules of the competition. (B) Had the head-chef Pierre Limore notified the authorities holding the competition of the list of ingredients, it is highly unlikely that his dish would have won the competition (C) The use of the recipe used to bake the winning dish does not belie the claim made by the head-chef (D) The authorities holding the competition had a mechanism to verify whether the recipes used in baking the dishes in the competition matched the original recipes first used to make the dishes. (E) To ensure that such competitions are fairly conducted, only chefs who can exactly replicate the original dish should be allowed to participate.

CR Questions February - 2 :

Q1. Since GE reached their end of quarter goals for sales of new turbines, GE directors have stopped questioning the bold new design changes recently incorporated in the new turbine. Directors argue that the new turbine has been bought by all major engine manufacturers, so these design changes must be worth the incremental costs. However, major engine manufacturers always purchase any new engine design for evaluation. The mere initial purchase is not a guarantee that they will use the design in their products.

In the above argument, the two bold face portions play which of the following roles?

(A) The first is evidence to support a conclusion; the second is a reason for questioning that support.

(B) The first is evidence to support a conclusion; the second provides another conclusion which is the main conclusion for the passage.

(C) The first is a position taken by GE directors; the second is a position taken by the author of the argument.

(D) The first is the evidence used to support a conclusion; the second is the position taken by the author of the argument.

(E) The first and second are opposing premises, both of which cannot be true simultaneously.

Q2. Tirtiranium is an online clothing store whose business model is based on connecting buyers and independent garment makers in Third World countries, a process that is meant to ensure that profits go directly to the workers and not to middlemen such as retail clothing stores. However, the total profit to the garment makers is not substantially larger than if they worked in factories or sold their clothes to stores.
Which of the following, if true, does most to explain the argument above?

A) Tirtiranium offers consumers the chance to donate a few dollars to charity during checkout, in addition to each purchase, as do many other clothing stores.
B) The price consumers pay includes shipping costs, which are higher for Tirtiranium products than for clothes from a traditional retail chain.
C) Conscious consumers are often willing to pay a few extra dollars for a product that is branded as a socially responsible choice.
D) In order to incentivize them to leave factories and work with Tirtiranium, the company offers garment makers a one-time cash bonus which is equal to their monthly salary at their previous job.
E) A third of Tirtiranium’s profits are from online advertising on their site, and not from sales.

CR Questions February - 3 :

Q1. Some geologists propose haloclasty, a process of salt crystallization responsible for the weathering of rocks, as an explanation for the specific weathering pattern observed on the Egyptian Sphinx. This explanation is rejected by some other geologists who hold the opinion that the type of weathering evident on the Sphinx enclosure walls, along with that on the core blocks of the Sphinx and Valley temples, could have only been caused by prolonged and extensive rainfall and hence date the construction of the Sphinx back to the 6th or 5th millennium BC.

Which of the following, if true, provides the best support for the assertion that the weathering on the Sphinx could not have been due to haloclasty but instead due to extensive rainfall in the area?

A. The geologists who oppose the haloclasty theory for the weathering noticed on the Sphinx accept that it may be responsible for the weathering noticed at many places on the Giza plateau.

B. Many geologists have concluded that haloclasty does not account for the absence of a similar weathering on other rock surfaces in the Giza pyramid complex, which were cut from the same limestone beds as the Sphinx.

C. Certain other studies have shown that the erosion observed on the sphinx was indeed driven by moisture derived from atmospheric precipitation such as dew, which ultimately led to the process of haloclasty.

D. The weathering caused by haloclasty should have operated evenly on all exposed limestone surfaces of the Sphinx whereas the erosion observed indicates that the weathering is particularly evident on surfaces that would have been especially vulnerable to heavy downpour.

E. Many geologists agree that the peculiar horizontal bands observed on the Sphinx were not caused by haloclasty but by wind erosion.

Q2. Over the last 3 months, the average time spent by visitors on the Zapto homepage that links to a collection of other useful websites has steadily gone up by 15%. During this time, the time required to access Zapto’s home page has gone down by 25%. Therefore, the reduction in time required to access the home page must have led to visitors spending more time on that page.

Which of the following, if true, casts the most serious doubt on the conclusion drawn above?


A. The overall World Wide Web traffic increase by 15% in the past 3 months.

B. The enhancements that Zapto made to its home page has still not made the home page as fast as its direct competitor’s.

C. The list of websites accessible from Zapto’s home page gets updated every week.

D. A live stream of Zapto’s popular and well received TV programming has been recently made viewable from Zapto’s home page.

E. Surveys show that Zapto’s customers are no more satisfied with the layout of the home page now than they were 3 months ago.

CR Questions February - 4 :

Q1. Traditionally, Value Investing Based Mutual Fund (VBMF), a stock-based mutual fund, has been considered a safe haven of stock investing. However, this perception has been shattered last year since VBMF has lost as much as 24% of its capitalization. Therefore, investors need to reassess their decision parameters since, clearly, by investing in VBMF, one can lose at least as much money as one can lose by investing in any other mutual fund.

Which of the following statements most seriously weakens the author’s argument?

A. While most Mutual funds have lost money, some more than 30%, hedge funds have been extremely profitable last year.
B. The stock market has declined by 30% over the last year.
C. Most stock based mutual funds have lost more than 25% last year.
D. People who have invested in gold instead of in mutual funds have lost only 10% since the value of gold has depreciated much.
E. VBMFs provide the additional advantage of dividend payouts that other mutual funds do not provide.

Q2. Artistic success as an actor is directly dependent on how well an actor has developed his craft. This has been demonstrated by the discovery of a positive relationship between the number of classes taken by an actor and the number of professional productions in which that actor has appeared in the past two years.

Each of the following, if true, casts doubt on the author’s argument about artistic success for actors EXCEPT:


(A) The figures for the number of classes taken were based solely on information provided by actors.

(B) Success as an actor cannot necessarily be judged exclusively by recent credits.

(C) For most successful actors, it is not the quantity but the quality of their classes that has helped to develop their craft.

(D) There is no relationship between the number of professional productions in which an actor has appeared and true artistic success.

(E) Most successful actors have taken only a small number of intensive classes.

Q1. Human beings have cognitive faculties that are superior to those of other animals, and once humans become aware of these, they cannot be made happy by anything that does not involve gratification of these faculties.

Which one of the following statements, if true, most calls into question the view above?

Which of the following, if true, most strongly support the accounts of Greek texts?

(A) There are no plants that Greece in ancient times that produce more nectar than rhododendrons or oleanders does.

(B) In areas where neither rhododendrons nor oleanders grow, honey is never poisonous

(D) The incidents of honey poisoning that are related in the ancient texts occurred in the springtime or in the early summer.

(E) Whether the honey in a beehive is toxic depends solely on which plants were the source of that was used to make the honey.
