Q2. The Southfork Steel Company is in trouble. Since 1960 it has made guaranteed payments to retirees out of a pension fund paid into by current employees as a percentage of their salaries. The restructuring of the Southfork workforce, however, has meant that fewer employees are now needed to produce the same amount of work as in the days of the retired employees. Since current employees are unwilling to pay a larger percentage of their salaries into the pension system than their predecessors did, the pension fund will inevitably go bankrupt. Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the conclusion in the passage that the pension fund will inevitably go bankrupt? A. The pension fund is invested in a conservative portfolio of bonds and money market funds that perform, on average, slightly better than inflation. B. Financial analysts have determined that, with current levels of payments into and out of the plan, the pension fund will remain solvent for at least another seven years. C. If the company is bought or goes out of business, the payments to retirees from the pension funds are likely to become subject to arbitration by either the new owners or the bankruptcy trustees, in which case the “guaranteed” payments could be readjusted to lower levels, or possibly terminated. D. The restructuring of the workforce has dramatically increased the efficiency of steel production at Southfork, resulting in substantially higher revenues per employee than in the past, and consequently much higher salaries. E. Although the modern era is referred to as a “postindustrial” age, the worldwide demand for steel has never been higher.

CR Questions April- 4 :

Q1. In the past two years, the effects of the worldwide economic downturn have been felt in all corners of the economy. For example, data from the Crescent City furniture industry show that sales have decreased 12% compared to two years ago. Yet the banks who provide working capital to the furniture retailers report that, in the first year of the downturn, the proportion of credit they provided to the retailers that was repaid on time dropped sharply, while in the second year it returned to normal levels.
Question
Which one of the following, if true, most helps to explain the change in credit repayment reported?

A)The total dollar amount of the loans decreased slightly between the first year and the second.
B)New restrictions on the banking industry instituted since the economic downturn began have limited the number of loans banks can make to troubled borrowers.
C)The largest furniture chain in Crescent City slashed prices in the second year in order to stimulate sales.
D)Almost all of the most financially troubled furniture retailers went out of business at the end of the first year of the economic downturn.
E)Between the first and second years of the recession, wholesalers were forced to significantly raise the prices they charged to retailers.

Q2. A year ago, Ambitious Airlines launched an Economy Plus class on its flights, offering upgraded seats and amenities at a cost of about 50 percent more than regular economy class seats. A year later, it turns out that most of these seats remain vacant. Since the costs associated with offering Economy Plus service are much higher than its revenue, the airline will probably decide to end this service soon.

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


A. In spite of the low demand for Economy Plus seats, the passengers who used this option reported very high levels of satisfaction.

B. Royalshere, a competing airline, has recently reported a plan to convert its business class sections to economy class due to a drop in demand for the business class service.

C. The soaring costs of fuel and security in the past year have caused the prices of all airline tickets to rise accordingly.

D. Ambitious Airline uses the vacant Economy Plus seats for free upgrades for its frequent flyer plan members as part of its marketing plan to raise the loyalty of this desirable target audience to the company.

E. Marketing strategy experts claim that offering additional expensive services causes the basic service to be perceived as less appealing to most of the clients.

Can somebody please explain why "the fuel cell" (being singular) takes plural "~ to have" after seems?
Though I chose option D, it doesn’t make sense to use a relative pronoun ’that’ after seems. 🙄

CR Questions April- 7 :

Q1. The free press is one of the fundamental parts of a democratic society, since it acts both to disseminate information and to express dissent. If a democracy is to remain viable, its press must remain free.

Which one of the following conclusions can most logically be drawn from the passage above?

(A) If a society has a free press, it is a democracy.
(B) Only a free press acts to disseminate information and to express dissent.
(C) A democratic society can place no restrictions on the expression of dissent.
(D) If a society does not have a free press, it does not have a viable democracy.
(E) A democracy that is not viable does not have a free press.

Q2. Psychics claim that certain events are destined to occur in the future and can be predicted accurately by someone with clairvoyant abilities. For example, a psychic may predict that a certain woman is destined to meet a man while waiting at the airport and fall in love with him, only to be later betrayed by him. Obviously, however, a person about whom a prediction has been made can, with knowledge of the prediction, alter his or her behavior to prevent the predicted event from occurring. Thus, the woman in the example could avoid airports in an attempt to avoid betrayal by the man she would meet. Thus, it seems that psychics must hold that destiny can be avoided.

The bolded phrase plays which of the following roles in the argument above?

(A) It points out the absurd consequences that follow from the claim of the psychics combined with another observation.
(B) It presents the conclusion advocated by the psychics.
(C) It shows that no predictions will be fulfilled when the people involved are aware of the prediction.
(D) It presents evidence that supports the claim made by the psychics.
(E) It presents a general principle supporting the claim of the psychics.

CR Questions April- 8 :

Q1. In order to understand the dangers of the current real-estate bubble in Country Y, one has only to look to the real-estate bubble of the last decade in Country Z. In that country, incautious investors used the inflated value of their real estate as collateral in risky margin loans. When the real-estate market collapsed, many investors went bankrupt, creating a major recession. Country Y is in real danger of a similar recession if more stringent laws restricting margin loans are not enacted promptly.

The answer to which of the following questions would be most useful in evaluating the significance of the author’s claims?


(A) Was the real estate in Country Z located principally in rural areas or was it located in more urban communities?

(B) Could the bankruptcies in Country Z have been prevented by a private bailout plan by the nation’s banks?

(C) Does Country Y currently have any laws on its books regarding margin loans?

(D) Are there business ties and connections between Country Y and Country Z?

(E) Were there other factors in the case of Country Y that would make the comparison with Country Z less meaningful?

Q2. New evidence suggests that women may react differently than men to high blood pressure, or hypertension. Women with hypertension are less likely to suffer from ensuing complications, such as heart attacks or strokes, and are less likely to die as a result. Women’s higher estrogen levels may be related to this phenomenon: after menopause, when estrogen levels lower, women gradually become more and more susceptible to cardiovascular disease.

Which of the following positions would be best supported by the statements in the passage above?

A. Very elderly women with high blood pressure are no less susceptible to complications than their male counterparts are.
B. When treating their female patients for hypertension, doctors should take into account whether or not the patient has gone through menopause.
C. Men with hypertension should receive immediate treatment, while women with high blood pressure may wait until their condition becomes severe.
D. Since women withstand high blood pressure more readily than men do, the benefits they receive from lowering it are relatively insignificant.
E. Women with very high blood pressure are as likely to suffer complications from their condition as are men with only slightly elevated blood pressure.

I guess, it should be E. Because, what if the decade-ago situation in country Z made citizens of Y to be more cautious or better learnt about the consequences of Real-estate bubble now? Or any other factor of country Y that makes both the countries incomparable? Answer to this will decide whether or not to go with author’s claim.

CR Questions April- 9 :

Q1. Violent forms of robbery tend to be most severe in nations with median wages not in the bottom 10% of nations, but rather between the 10% and 20% intervals. Although that shifted bulge might seem to run counter to what many might presume would be the case, there is a reasonable explanation for the bulge effect. As an economy begins develop, an initial wave of envy tends to trigger robberies, including violent robberies. As the economy develops further, a greater percentage of that society exits poverty, which in turn reduces envy, and thereby the number of robberies. Therefore, we can expect Baltria to soon see its violent robbery rate decrease given that its economy has begun to develop over the last several years.

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

Ⓐ Once an economy begins to develop, there tends to be a tightening of law enforcement, and punishment for violent crime offenses.

Ⓑ Once an economy develops, a spill-off effect can help bolster the economies of neighboring countries, further reinforcing economic development.

Ⓒ Baltria’s economic development will not stall in the near-future.

Ⓓ Baltrian leaders are committed to making Baltria one of the most economically advanced nations in the region.

Ⓔ No other country in the region has a violent robbery rate as high as that of Baltria’s.

Q2. A bullet train travels in excess of 150 miles per hour. Therefore, if a train travels slower than 150 miles per hour, it is not a bullet train.

Which of the following most closely parallels the reasoning used in the argument above?


(A) An orange ripens only on the vine. If it ripens on the vine, then it is not an orange.

(B) Newspapers are often read by more than one person. Therefore, magazines are also likely to be read by more than one person.

(C) An earthquake of 5.0 or above on the Richter scale causes massive damage. If there is not massive damage, then the earthquake did not attain a 5.0 or above.

(D) A supersonic plane travels at speeds in excess of Mach 1. If it is not supersonic, then it will travel at speeds below Mach 1.

(E) Fluoride generally prevents cavities. If there are no cavities, then there was no fluoride used.

CR Questions April- 10 :

Q1. A proposal for a new building fire safety code requires that fireretardant insulation no longer be sprayed on steel girders in the factory, but be sprayed on once the girders have arrived at the building site. This will eliminate the dislodging of the insulation in transit and reduce fatalities in catastrophic fires by an estimated 20%.

Which of the following, if true, represents the strongest challenge to the new proposal?


(A) The fire-retardant insulation will also be required to be one inch thicker than in the past.

(B) Studies have shown that most dislodgement of insulation occurs after the girders arrive on site.

(C) Catastrophic fires represent only 4% of the fires reported nationally.

(D) The proposed safety code will add considerably to the cost of new construction.

(E) In most of Europe, spraying fire-retardant insulation onto steel girders at the building site has been required for the past ten years.

Q2. Although studies have found bamboo to be a better raw material than cement and mortar for use in the construction industry, as it is cheaper and more environment-friendly, most builders are concerned that home buyers will be resistant to the idea of houses built of bamboo. Nevertheless, experts predict that the use of bamboo in the construction industry will soon see a rapid increase.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the prediction outlined above?

A. Although it grows only in specific regions, bamboo is relatively easy to grow and does not require as much maintenance as other crops.

B. Bamboo cannot be grown in coastal areas since salt water and humidity have been proven to have an adverse effect on the growth of the plant in such areas.

C. Many building materials sourced from natural resources can also be used to make items such as household furniture and farming implements.

D. According to recent studies, bamboo is much more resilient than it was previously believed to be, and houses made out of bamboo are expected to require much less maintenance than those made of more commonly used materials.

E. Environmental organizations have recently become much more vocal about the multiple ways in which the environment is being exploited.

Nevertheless, experts predict that the use of bamboo in the construction industry will soon see a rapid increase.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the prediction outlined above?

A. Although it grows only in specific regions, bamboo is relatively easy to grow and does not require as much maintenance as other crops.

B. Bamboo cannot be grown in coastal areas since salt water and humidity have been proven to have an adverse effect on the growth of the plant in such areas.

C. Many building materials sourced from natural resources can also be used to make items such as household furniture and farming implements.

D. According to recent studies, bamboo is much more resilient than it was previously believed to be, and houses made out of bamboo are expected to require much less maintenance than those made of more commonly used materials.

E. Environmental organizations have recently become much more vocal about the multiple ways in which the environment is being exploited.

Option D is correct - It gives the reason which may result in increase in the use of bamboo in the construction industry. Option A is incorrect because it is a general statement and does not explains why the scientists are expecting the sudden increase in use of bamboo as construction material. Option B is incorrect because if true it is a weakener and out of scope. Option C is incorrect because it is irrelevant to the prediction. Option E is again a weakener.
