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.

good explanation :thumbsup:

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.



CR Questions April- 12 :

Q1. Cultural anthropologists have hypothesized that smiling is a submissive gesture that signals lower social status.
In a recent study, researchers examined photographs in 200 newspapers and magazines and found that people with more wealth and influence were less likely to smile for photographs. Based on the results of this study, an advertising agency concluded that advertisements for high-end products targeting wealthy and influential people would be more effective if those advertisements used unsmiling models to convey higher social status and exclusivity.

The conclusion of the advertising agency is based on which of the following assumptions?


(A) Most people would be more attracted to a product if it makes them look more wealthy or influential than they actually are.

(B) Models who do not smile in photographs are generally wealthier and more influential than models who smile in photographs.

(C) Many advertisements for high-end products depict models engaging in activities that usually cause people of average wealth and influence to smile.

(D) Most wealthy and influential people view a person who smiles in a photograph as less wealthy and influential than themselves.

(E) In general, wealthy and influential people are attracted to products and images that convey higher social status and exclusivity.

Q2. Plant scientists have used genetic engineering on seeds to produce crop plants that are highly resistant to insect damage. Unfortunately, the seeds themselves are quite expensive, and the plants require more fertilizer and water to grow well than normal ones. Thus, for most farmers the savings on pesticides would not compensate for the higher seed costs and the cost of additional fertilizer. However, since consumer demand for grains, fruits, and vegetables grown without the use of pesticides continues to rise, the use of genetically engineered seeds of this kind is likely to become widespread.

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


(A) The first supplies a context for the argument; the second is the argument’s main conclusion.

(B) The first introduces a development that the argument predicts will have a certain outcome; the second is a state of affairs that the argument denies will be part of that outcome.

(C) The first presents a development that the argument predicts will have a certain outcome; the second acknowledges a consideration that weighs against that prediction.

(D) The first provides evidence to support a prediction that the argument seeks to defend; the second is that prediction.

(E) The first and the second each provide evidence to support the argument’s main conclusion.

CR Questions April- 14 :

Q1. The spread of Avian flu from animals to humans has been welldocumented, but less understood is the mechanism by which it is spread from one bird species to another. In order to avoid a worldwide epidemic of Avian flu, scientists must make that study a first priority. To solely tackle the human dimension of this possible pandemic is to miss half of the problem: its spread from one hemisphere to another.

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


(A) The bolded phrase states a premise of the argument.

(B) The bolded phrase contradicts the author’s main point.

(C) The bolded phrase makes a statement that the author is about to contradict.

(D) The bolded phrase states the author’s conclusion.

(E) The bolded phrase states an assumption the author is making.

Q2. Waste resulting from use of plastics is usually dumped in oceans. However, since plastics leech harmful chemicals into water, such dumping of plastic waste in oceans harms many life forms in oceans, disrupting the delicate balance of the marine ecosystem. Recycled plastics leech much lower amount of chemicals per pound of waste than non-recycled plastics do. In an effort to increase the use of recycled plastics, the government has introduced subsidies on recycled plastics, making such plastic goods much cheaper. Therefore, the negative impact of plastic usage on marine ecosystems can be reduced by encouraging public to avail the cost savings provided by government subsidies.

Which of the following statements most weakens the above argument?

(A) Dumping of radioactive waste causes a much greater harm to the marine life in oceans than either of recycled plastic and non-recycled plastic
(B) Many life forms in oceans have the capability to develop immunity against the harmful chemicals released by plastic waste.
(C) Providing subsidies on recycled plastics is a costly ordeal to the government, increasing the government expenditure by a significant margin
(D) Waste from non-recycled plastic can be processed and disposed of twice as quickly as the waste from recycled plastic.
(E) The availability of cheaper plastic goods is likely to significantly drive up the demand of such goods

In order to avoid a worldwide epidemic of Avian flu, scientists must make that study a first priority. To solely tackle the human dimension of this possible pandemic is to miss half of the problem: its spread from one hemisphere to another.

Q2. Waste resulting from use of plastics is usually dumped in oceans. However, since plastics leech harmful chemicals into water, such dumping of plastic waste in oceans harms many life forms in oceans, disrupting the delicate balance of the marine ecosystem. Recycled plastics leech much lower amount of chemicals per pound of waste than non-recycled plastics do. In an effort to increase the use of recycled plastics, the government has introduced subsidies on recycled plastics, making such plastic goods much cheaper. Therefore, the negative impact of plastic usage on marine ecosystems can be reduced by encouraging public to avail the cost savings provided by government subsidies. Which of the following statements most weakens the above argument? (A) Dumping of radioactive waste causes a much greater harm to the marine life in oceans than either of recycled plastic and non-recycled plastic (B) Many life forms in oceans have the capability to develop immunity against the harmful chemicals released by plastic waste. (C) Providing subsidies on recycled plastics is a costly ordeal to the government, increasing the government expenditure by a significant margin (D) Waste from non-recycled plastic can be processed and disposed of twice as quickly as the waste from recycled plastic. (E) The availability of cheaper plastic goods is likely to significantly drive up the demand of such goods Difficulty - Hard



CR Questions April- 15 :

Q1. The region of Flavia has been noticing a steady increase in the incidence of Fluorosis - a chronic condition caused by excessive intake of fluorine compounds – among its citizens. It is a known fact that Flavian waters – underground, lakes and rivers alike – contain excess of fluorine compounds. So, to reduce the incidence of Fluorosis, the local water supply corporation has started to treat the drinking water to remove excess fluorine compounds before supplying to households for the past two years. However, there has been no appreciable reduction in the incidence of fluorosis.

Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the fluorosis situation in Flavia?

A. Underground water reserves tend to accumulate fluorine compounds over time, making them a relatively less safe source of water than rivers and lakes are.

B. For a place such as Flavia, which is quite remotely located and is located far away from other towns, water is the primary source of exposure to fluorinated compounds.

C. In the same way fluorine is removed from drinking water, fluorine can also be added to drinking water by anyone.

D. The treatment methods used by the local water supply corporation to remove the fluorine compounds from water are quite outdated and frankly, take a significant amount of time to completely remove all the fluorine compounds.

E. Water from rivers – barely processed – is the main source of water heavily utilized in all production sectors, agriculture and food manufacturing

Q2. Ethicist: Marital vows often contain the promise to love “until death do us part.” If “love” here refers to a feeling, then this promise makes no sense, for feelings are not within one’s control, and a promise to do something not within one’s control makes no sense. Thus, no one—including those making marital vows—should take “love” in this context to be referring to feelings.

The ethicist’s conclusion follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?

(A) None of our feelings are within our control.
(B) People should not make promises to do something that is not within their control.
(C) “Love” can legitimately be taken to refer to something other than feelings.
(D) Promises should not be interpreted in such a way that they make no sense.
(E) Promises that cannot be kept do not make any sense.

Re: Verbal Question of the Day Chat Group [#permalink]
Look at option (B) in this question:
(B) The Sun, which is 400 times larger than the Moon, is also 400 times farther away from Earth, so the Sun and the Moon have the same apparent size in the sky.
--Spoiler ahead--
This is the right option.
But how? If we remove the modifier, the "also" in the sentence doesn’t make any sense:
"The Sun is also 400 times farther away from Earth, so the Sun and the Moon have the same apparent size in the sky."
