CR Questions February - 18 :
Q1. Letter to the editor: Proposition Q, a controversial measure on this year’s ballot, would prohibit the ownership of handguns within the city’s limits. Under the plan, gun owners would have a 90-day grace period to turn in their weapons to authorities. Proponents of the proposition argue that fewer handguns on the streets would lead to less violent crime, making the city safer for all of its citizens. Unfortunately, the ban would actually have the opposite effect. Since only law abiding citizens would honor the ban, armed criminals would not only keep their weapons but would also have the confidence to act with impunity on a population that could no longer defend itself.
In the letter to the editor, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
(A) The first is an observation that the author uses to support a particular position; the second is that position.
(B) The first is a pattern of cause and effect that the author believes to be true; the second offers evidence to contradict this pattern.
(C) The first is a position that the author argues will not hold in this case; the second is the author’s position.
(D) The first is a prediction that the author believes to be untrue. The second is a statement of fact that undermines the author’s position.
(E) The first is a direct relationship that the author believes will not hold in this case; the second offers evidence in support of the author’s position.

Q1. Renting cars from dealerships is less expensive than renting cars from national rental firms. But to take advantage of dealership rates, tourists must determine which local dealerships offer rentals, and then pay for long taxi rides between the airport and those dealerships. So renting from dealerships rather than national rental firms is generally more worthwhile for local residents than for tourists. Each of the following, if true, strengthens the argument EXCEPT: (A) To encourage future business, many car dealerships drop off and pick up rental cars for local residents at no charge. (B) Tourists renting cars from national rental firms almost never need to pay for taxi rides to or from the airport. (C) Travel agents generally are unable to inform tourists of which local car dealerships offer rentals. (D) Many local residents know of local car dealerships that offer low-priced rentals. (E) For local residents, taxi rides to car dealerships from their homes or workplaces are usually no less expensive than taxi rides to national rental firms. Difficulty - Hard

Q2. Spokesperson: Although the highway that circles the downtown region of the city is carrying twice as much traffic as was originally anticipated, congestion is not a problem for most of its users. Upwards of half a million vehicles a day use the road, and for 90 percent of the time they do so without delays. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion reached by the spokesperson? (A) Highway usage is projected to double again within the next 5 years (B) The high usage rates for the highway have led to a need for twice as many repairs than were originally planned (C) The highway is mainly used be commuters during the limited time span of the morning and evening rush hours, when delays are very common. (D) The highway receives traffic from several other roads and highways (E) The highway’s design forces both drivers who wish to travel to and those who wish to avoid downtown to travel on it for at least part of their journey

CR Questions February - 19 :
Q1. Although critics of various beauty contests argue that such contests objectify women by judging them mostly on their physical appearance and not as much on other qualities they may possess, such contests are little different from any other competition; for instance, in various sports contests participants are judged mostly on their physical prowess than anything else. Therefore, in beauty competitions contestants can be judged on their physical beauty without implying that beauty is all that matters about anyone.
Which of the following can be concluded from the argument given above?
A. Competitions by nature lay stress on honing one particular quality of contestants.
B. While evaluating the contestants, every competition values certain criteria more than the other criteria.
C. Both beauty contests and sports competitions are unfair because they value very limited qualities in contestants.

E. Beauty contests are similar to sports competitions in that both judge contestants on their physical prowess.
Q2. In the absence of written evidence of female communities that existed before the nineteenth century, communal activities such as quilt-making and storytelling through oral narratives are considered legitimate sources of information about such communities. Most quilts were either spun, sewn or woven for non-commercial use, or created through a process known as colonial quilting by those who engaged in quilt-making as a hobby. Therefore, most women from wealthy families must have engaged in the colonial style of quilting, because _________________
Which of the following, if true, best completes the passage above?
