Q1. A certain mayor has proposed a fee of five dollars per day on private vehicles entering the city, claiming that the fee will alleviate the city’s traffic congestion. The mayor reasons that, since the fee will exceed the cost of round-trip bus fare from many nearby points, many people will switch from using their cars to using the bus. Which of the following statements, if true, provides the best evidence that the mayor’s reasoning is flawed? (A) Projected increases in the price of gasoline will increase the cost of taking private vehicle into the city. (B) The cost of parking fees already makes it considerable more expensive for most people to take a private vehicle into the city than to take a bus. (C) Most of the people currently riding the bus do not own private vehicles. (D) Many commuters opposing the mayor’s plan have indicated that they would rather endure traffic congestion than pay a five dollar per day fee. (E) During the average workday, private vehicles owned and operated by people living within the city account for twenty percent of the city’s traffic congestion. Difficulty - Hard

Q2. It is highly likely that Claudette is a classical pianist. Like most classical pianists, Claudette recognizes many of Clara Schumann’s works. The vast majority of people who are not classical pianists do not. in fact, many people who are not classical pianists have not even heard of Clara Schumann. The reasoning in the argument above is flawed in that: (A) ignores the possibility that Claudette is more familiar with the works of other composers of music for piano (B) presumes, without providing justification, that people who have not heard of Clara Schumann do not recognize her works (C) presumes, without providing justification, that classical pianists cannot also play other musical instruments (D) relies for its plausibility on the vagueness of the term "classical" (E) ignores the possibility that the majority of people who recognize many of Clara Schumann’s works are not classical pianists.

CR Questions April- 30 :

Q1. Within Central City, the high-end retailer RiverRock makes most of its sales at its flagship store in Central Plaza, a major commuter center in the business district. Nevertheless, marketing strategists at RiverRock propose increasing revenues by closing the lease on this high-rent location and focusing on its smaller satellite stores throughout the region.

Which of the following, if true, casts most doubt on the viability of the plan by RiverRock’s marketing strategists to focus on smaller satellite stores?

(A) Most of the merchandise available at RiverRock’s flagship store is also available at each of its satellite stores.

(B) The frequency with which consumers who live near Central Plaza shop at RiverRock is roughly equal to that of consumers who live in the suburbs, where most of the satellite stores are located.

(C) When RiverRock opened its flagship store fifteen years ago, it closed two smaller stores in the Central City area.

(D) Retailers such as RiverRock find that smaller suburban stores experience more consistent sales from year to year than do flagship stores, which depend on huge sales in November and December.

(E) The sales of the flagship RiverRock store allow the company to devote large sums to television advertising in Central City, which has a significant positive impact on satellite store sales.

Q2. Pasteurization, which is necessary when milk is to be stored for an extended period of time, is accomplished by exposing the milk to high temperatures, which destroys many of the milk’s valuable nutrients. Some nutritionists therefore recommend consumption of unpasteurized milk.

Government health and safety regulations require pasteurization of all mass-marketed milk and milk products in order to prevent the growth of potentially harmful bacteria.

If the statements above are true, which of the following conclusions can most reasonably be drawn?

A. The only way to ensure adequate nutrition is to ban pasteurization.

B. Pasteurization at slightly lower temperatures can meet government regulations while leaving much of milk’s nutritional value unaffected.

C. Changes in governmental health safety standards will allow some milk products to be sold without undergoing pasteurization.

D. Government health and safety regulations are not strict enough to control the growth of certain forms of bacteria.

E. Government health and safety regulations make it difficult to conform to some nutritionists’ recommendations regarding milk consumption.

CR Questions May - 1 :

Q1. If backstage passes after concerts are restricted to members of the press and those individuals who personally know members of the band or the band’s crew, most of the people who usually flock backstage after shows will be forced to wait outside until the band leaves the theater. As a result, there will be less crowding backstage after concerts, which will reduce the risk of fights and injuries occurring after the shows.

The conclusion drawn in the first sentence depends on which of the following assumptions?

(A) Waiting outside for the band will be as acceptable as going backstage for most fans.

(B) It would not be necessary for representatives of local radio stations to wait outside for bands after a concert.

(C) Most individuals who obtain backstage passes after concerts do not personally know members of the band or the band’s crew.

(D) Backstage fights involve acquaintances of the band or crew more often than they involve members of the press.

(E) Favorable reviews of concerts are likely to increase if there are fewer backstage fights and injuries after shows.

Difficulty - Hard

A) Many small animal species will play dead when surprised by a loud noise or unexpected movement.
B) Predators often leave their food in a hiding place rather than eating it immediately.

Q1. Millions of irreplaceable exhibits in natural history museums are currently allowed to decay. Yet without analyses of eggs from museums, the studies linking pesticides with the decline of birds of prey would have been impossible. Therefore, funds must be raised to preserve at least those exhibits that will be most valuable to science in the future.

The argument presupposes that

(A) if a museum exhibit is irreplaceable, its preservation is of an importance that overrides economic considerations
(B) the scientific analysis of museum exhibits can be performed in nondestructive way
(C) eggs of extinct species should be analyzed to increase knowledge of genetic relationships among species
(D) it can be known at this time what data will be of most use to scientific investigators in the future
(E) the decay of organic material in natural history exhibits is natural and cannot be prevented

Q2. Gasoline-powered boat engines manufactured in the a North American country prior to 1990 contribute significantly to the pollution found in the world’s oceans. In 1990, however, the government imposed stricter pollution controls on gasoline engines manufactured for boats, and beginning in 1995, the government imposed a program of inspections for pre-1990 boat engines with increasingly rigorous pollution standards. As the older boat engines fail to pass inspection, boat owners are increasingly retiring their old engines in favor of newer, less polluting boat engines. As a result, the amount of pollution these older boat engines emit into the world’s oceans will steadily decrease over the next ten years.

Which one of the following statements, if true, most seriously undermines the argument?

(A) Water from the various oceans cannot be accurately divided among nations because ocean currents travel thousands of miles and cross numerous national boundary lines.

(B) Even as they become older, boat engines manufactured after 1990 will never pollute as much as boat engines manufactured prior to 1990.

(C) When boat owners retire their older boat engines in favor of newer ones, the older engines are frequently sent overseas to countries with less stringent pollution standards, where they are in high demand.

(D) The government’s pollution control standards for boat engines are increasingly stricter up until 1998; then they level off.

(E) If demand for new fishing and pleasure boats increases significantly every year, then pollution of the world’s oceans will continue to increase, regardless of the fact that older boat engines are being retired.
