_____________________________
CR 1

The B10 firms, the top ten brokerage firms in the country of Vickersden, are renowned for their accuracy in predicting market trends. In general, when the ratio of sales to purchases made by these firms falls below 1 to 3 for a particular company, a rise in stock prices of that company is impending. Recently, although stock prices of JRB Railworks have been stable, the B10 firms have bought seven times as many stocks in it as they have sold.

The facts above best support which of the following predictions?

A. The price of JRB Railworks's stocks will start rising soon.
B. Stock bought by the B10 firms in JRB Railworks will soon be sold.
C. The disparity between the purchase and sale of JRB Railworks's stocks will continue to grow.
D. The price of JRB Railworks's stocks will remain stable but fluctuate slightly more.
E. The majority of stock in JRB Railworks will soon be owned by the B10 firms.

_____________________________
CR 2

As the lobbying activities of government contractors grow less regulated, the more contractors there are who resort to lobbying officials directly. Generally, government contractors who lobby to receive a particular project usually charge less for that project than those who do not lobby officials directly. Thus, if any of the government’s current restrictions are removed, such as the ones limiting campaign contributions to a certain limit, overall expenditure on government contractors will be significantly lower than if the state retains its current restrictions.

Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the argument concerning overall expenditure on government contractors?

A. Recently, some other government restrictions that had limited the lobbying activities of government contractors were removed by the state.
B. It is unlikely that the government will remove all of the restrictions that apply solely to lobbying activities of government contractors.
C. Most government contractors who lobby officials directly to receive a project do not charge less for that project.
D. Most government contractors who currently limit campaign contributions to a certain limit would do so even if such a restriction were not in place.
E. Government contractors who do not lobby officials directly provide services of the same quality as those provided by the contractors who do lobby officials directly.

CR 1

A farmer working in an arid region has been growing cabbages for the past several years, although this crop severely depletes nitrogen from the soil. The farmer continues to do so, although the legume alfalfa is a much more valuable crop and does not deplete nitrogen from the soil at all.

Of the following statements, which, if true, best explains why the farmer has been growing the less profitable of the two crops mentioned above?

A. Arid regions are excellent for the growth of coniferous plants, such as cabbage.
B. Cabbages grown in arid regions are more expensive than cabbages grown in areas with heavy rainfall.
C. The amount of water needed to raise an alfalfa crop is several times as high as the amount needed to raise a cabbage crop.
D. A portion of the cabbages grown each year is eaten by caterpillars.
E. In some parts of the country, income from vegetables, such as cabbage, is more heavily taxed than that from any other agricultural product, including legumes.

CR 2

The Industrial Labor Relations Department of the Ministry of Human Development is tasked with conducting annual factory safety inspections. After the inspection of Zusak Electricals’s factories last year, the department reported considerably more violations of the Ministry’s regulations, compared to the previous year.

Which of the following, if true, would cast most doubt on the conclusion in the passage?

A. The Industrial Labor Relations Department increased the purview and thoroughness of the inspections last year, compared to other years.
B. Zusak Electricals’s manufacturing processes are no more dangerous than are those of most other electrical companies.
C. Some safety experts in other countries consider certain Ministry regulations too slack and easy to circumvent.
D. Before last year, Zusak Electricals’s factories had an excellent safety record with very few injuries.
E. In both years, the safety report on Zusak Electricals included no violations that occurred in factories that the company had leased out.

Pittsville, a historic town, managed to keep its expenditures low, as it was not required to maintain or improve transport routes within the town. Five years ago, a state ordinance was passed, requiring the town to refurbish and expand its transport routes, significantly increasing the town’s expenditure. Yet, the town achieved a marked increase in its savings since then.

Which of these statements, if true, best resolved the paradox seen in the above passage?

A. The ordinance mandated that at least one third of a town’s expenditure go towards maintaining transport routes, but only a small percentage of transport expenditure was mandated to go towards the routes used to reach the town’s historic locations.
B. Most of the town’s transport routes are connected to areas of high population density and the routes' upgrade required considerable expenses in order to ensure public safety.
C. After the ordinance passed, the town’s expenditures other than those associated with transport routes increased significantly.
D. After the ordinance requiring the town to refurbish and expand the transport routes within itself, the town committed to also refurbishing its outer roadways.
E. During the last five years, Pittsville’s tourism industry has significantly benefitted from improved access to the town’s historically famous sites.

CR 2

B) Professionally successful people are those who are intelligent and can also think on their feet.
