Q1. In the years 1971 to 1980, the population of the state prison system was on average about 82 percent of maximum occupancy. During those years, the average number of prisoners entering the system each year was equivalent to 9.1 percent of maximum occupancy. From the years 1981 to 1984, the average number of prisoners entering the system each year fell to 7.3 percent of maximum occupancy, yet the population of the state prison system rose to almost 89 percent of maximum occupancy. Which of the following, if true, helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy? (A) The average sentence of a prisoner in the state system increased from 1981 to 1984. (B) Beginning in 1981, many of those entering the state prison system had been transferred from prisons in other states. (C) Between 1981 and 1984, the percentage of prisoners incarcerated for violent crimes increased by 26 percent. (D) In 1981, a legislative fact-finding committee proposed a revision of the state’s parole and work release programs. (E) Between 1971 and 1984, the proportion of active criminals actually caught and incarcerated in the state prison system has steadily increased.

Q2. Twenty years ago, in order to rid Katarina Island of the menace of an insect larva X that was destroying rice crops, a special caterpillar-eating bird Y was introduced to the island. Now, however, overconsumption of fruits by the enormous Y population menaces many of the island’s fauna. Agriculturists plan to reduce Y’s population by using a chemical spray, which has caused devastating epidemics in Y’s population. However, there is a small chance of this chemical infecting the native Katarinian grey hornbill, an endangered fruit-eating bird. The agriculturists’ plan, therefore, is protective of agricultural interests in terms of controlling fruit consumption on the one hand but will increase the danger to native bird populations on the other. The argument above assumes which of the following? A. It is possible to reduce Y’s population without causing any danger to the Katarinian grey hornbill. B. None of the birds or animals in Katarina prey on the bird Y. C. In places where the chemical was used, the populations of bird Y were successfully controlled. D. The use of the chemical can be controlled in a manner that will not completely wipe out the bird Y population on the island. E. The enormous Y population is not a bigger threat to the Katarinian grey hornbill than the chemical spray. Difficulty - Hard

CR Questions June - 25 :

Q1. ShopEasy, a grocery delivery company, has developed a new mobile app to streamline the ordering process for customers and reduce delivery times. The company’s management argues that by launching an ambitious worldwide marketing campaign, the mobile app will quickly gain immense popularity and, consequently, ShopEasy will become the preferred grocery delivery service for at least 50% of potential customers. Hence, the management believes that launching the worldwide marketing campaign is critical for the app’s success and ultimately, to gain a dominant position in the market.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the management’s conclusion is based?

(A) No other grocery delivery companies are in the process of improving their services or offering a superior mobile app.

(B) The majority of the potential customers have access to reliable information about the ShopEasy app and the potential benefits of using it.

(C) ShopEasy’s mobile app is the most innovative and user-friendly mobile app for grocery delivery services in the market.

(D) No significant technological, geographical, or financial barriers would prevent a substantial portion of potential customers from accessing, downloading, and using the ShopEasy app effectively.

(E) The market for grocery delivery services will not undergo a major transformation that would affect the need for or relevance of ShopEasy’s new mobile app.

Q2. In an attempt to address the growing concerns about water scarcity, a group of engineers has developed a new process for desalination that is significantly more energy-efficient than traditional methods. The engineers believe that by promoting this new technology as an alternative water source, countries experiencing severe water shortages will benefit from greater access to potable water without exacerbating their existing environmental issues.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the engineers’ argument?

(A) Even in regions where there is no apparent shortage of freshwater resources, people are becoming more conscious about sustainable consumption and waste reduction.

(B) Other technological innovations in agriculture and manufacturing decrease reliance on large quantities of freshwater without imposing prohibitive costs.

(C) If widely adopted worldwide, the new desalination method would not substantially increase local or global demand for energy resources or harm marine ecosystems due to its efficiency.

(D) Previous efforts to establish more efficient desalination processes have only seen limited success because most improvement attempts have been focused on marginal enhancements rather than disruptive technologies.

(E) Several other research teams around the world are independently working on similar approaches for advancing desalination systems inspired by natural filtration mechanisms.

IMO, in B "which" doesn’t have any verb so this option is gone; Ignore C- both of the "that" cannot refer to the same logical antecedent; in D, same error as present in B, and in E "although" & " certainly.... corporations" are separated by a comma furthermore there is no comparison intended in the sentence, so why do we require "as"? certainly "as " is not acting as a conjunction here. Hence A should be the OA.

Q2. Members of large-animal species must consume enormous amounts of food to survive.When climatic conditions in their environment deteriorate, such animals are often unable to find enough food. This fact helps make large-animal species more vulnerable to extinction than small-animal species, which can maintain greater populations on smaller amounts of food.

The statements above, if true, most support which one of the following?


(A) The maximum population size that an animal species could maintain on any given amount of food is the main factor determining whether that species will become extinct.

(B) The vulnerability of an animal species to extinction depends at least in part on how much food individuals of that species must consume to survive.

(C) When conditions deteriorate in a given environment, no small-animal species will become extinct unless some large-animal species also becomes extinct.

(D) Within any given species, the prospects for survival of any particular individual depend primarily on the amount of food that individual requires.

(E) Whenever climatic conditions in a given environment are bad enough to threaten large animal species with extinction, small-animal species are able to find enough food to survive.

CR Questions June - 27 :

Q1. One state adds a 7 percent sales tax to the price of most products purchased within its jurisdiction. This tax, therefore, if viewed as tax on income, has the reverse effect of the federal income tax: the lower the income, the higher the annual percentage rate at which the income is taxed.

The conclusion above would be properly drawn if which of the following were assumed as a premise?


(A) The amount of money citizens spend on products subject to the state tax tends to be equal across income levels.

(B) The federal income tax favors citizens with high incomes, whereas the state sales tax favors citizens with low incomes.

(C) Citizens with low annual incomes can afford to pay a relatively higher percentage of their incomes in state sales tax, since their federal income tax is relatively low.

(D) The lower a state’s sales tax, the more it will tend to redistribute income from the more affluent citizens to the rest of society.

(E) Citizens who fail to earn federally taxable income are also exempt from the state sales tax.

Q2. Parents: We have observed that the college does not follow a fair policy while allocating campus housing to its students. A quick look at Block B indicates that it majorly houses international students while most domestic students are allocated Block A. Is it because the college wants to prevent international and domestic students from intermingling?

College Representative: The accusation is not true. While allocating housing, we do not look at any nationality information. Only the students’ first names and grades are used while allocating housing. The allocation should hence be random.

Which of the following assumptions forms an inherent weakness in the college representative’s response to parents’ charges?

A. There is no discrimination against international students.

B. The policy followed by the college is common policy and is followed by other colleges too.

C. It is not possible to recognize the nationality of a candidate by looking at his or her first name.

D. There are no exceptions, whatsoever, in the explained procedure for campus housing allocation.

E. Grades of international students are significantly different from those of domestic students.

Q2. Parents: We have observed that the college does not follow a fair policy while allocating campus housing to its students. A quick look at Block B indicates that it majorly houses international students while most domestic students are allocated Block A. Is it because the college wants to prevent international and domestic students from intermingling? College Representative: The accusation is not true. While allocating housing, we do not look at any nationality information. Only the students’ first names and grades are used while allocating housing. The allocation should hence be random. Which of the following assumptions forms an inherent weakness in the college representative’s response to parents’ charges? A. There is no discrimination against international students. B. The policy followed by the college is common policy and is followed by other colleges too. C. It is not possible to recognize the nationality of a candidate by looking at his or her first name. D. There are no exceptions, whatsoever, in the explained procedure for campus housing allocation. E. Grades of international students are significantly different from those of domestic students.

CR Questions June - 29 :

Q1. In a recent study of responses to visual images, researchers found that women most frequently gave the rating ‘most attractive’ to images of male faces that were more feminine in contour, and rated more masculine faces, on average, ‘less attractive’. The researchers concluded that modern women prefer men who are less obviously masculine in their facial features.

The conclusion would be most severely weakened if which of the following were true?


A. Facial features are not the criterion that most women use to decide whether a man is attractive.

B. The visual images were computer generated composites of photographs and not pictures of actual men.

C. The rating scale was a ten point scale with most attractive scoring 1-2 and least attractive scoring 8-10.

D. Most popular male actors have the features that the study allocated to the more masculine category.

E. The faces with the more masculine features were all significantly older than those with the feminine features.

A ’Subject" is a doer of an action, an ’Object’ is one on whom action is done...

For eg - John wore a shirt. Here, John (subject)is the doer of an action, shirt (object) is the one on whom the action is done.
