Last year, the costs associated with processing aluminum decreased, and the costs associated with processing copper remained stable. Therefore, although the prices of aluminum products have not yet fallen, invariably, they will.

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

A. Changes in the price of finished products always lag behind changes in the cost of processing raw materials.
B. The cost of processing copper is typically higher than that of the same volume of aluminum.
C. Over the last year, aluminum product manufacturing factories have not experienced a change in any costs other than the costs of processing aluminum.
D. The cost of mining bauxite ore, the primary source of aluminum, has increased over the last year.
E. The cost of refining bauxite ore, the most important step in processing aluminum, has increased over the last year.

CR 2

Looking to decrease the hotel’s average annual expenditure of water, the General Manager of the Dauphin Hotel decided to replace the hotel’s current showerheads with low-flow water-efficient showerheads, as the current showerheads wear out. Compared to standard showerheads, low-flow water-efficient showerheads consume less water and are not any more expensive. Furthermore, the costs of converting current water fixtures to work with low-flow water-efficient showerheads are negligible.

Which of the following would it be most useful to know in determining whether switching to low-flow water-efficient showerheads would likely help minimize the Dauphin Hotel’s yearly maintenance costs?

A. Whether the General Manager plans to add more rooms to the Dauphin Hotel, necessitating the use of more showerheads
B. Whether any other hotels switched from the showerheads currently in use to any type of showerhead except the low-flow water-efficient ones
C. Whether the wholesaler from which the Dauphin Hotel currently buys showerheads also sells low-flow water-efficient ones
D. Whether the predicted longevity of low-flow water-efficient showerheads at least equals that of the showerheads currently in use
E. Whether the workmen who replace showerheads at the Dauphin Hotel know how to convert the existing fixtures so as to work with low-flow water-efficient showerheads

CR 1

Those who practice cross-training while recovering from feet injury spend more time on their feet than those who do not. Even accounting for disparities in the severity of the injuries, those who practice cross-training heal faster than do those who do not. This is puzzling because an injured body part that is put into regular use typically heals slower than one that is allowed to rest.

Which of the following, if true, best resolves the apparent discrepancy described in the passage?

A. Spending time on their feet increases the patients’ blood flow to feet, causing the injured feet muscles to absorb more of the nutrients needed to heal.
B. Cross-training increases the patients’ confidence, encouraging them to start walking.
C. Increased activity leads to an increased demand for nutrients needed to heal injuries.
D. Cross-training does not increase the recovery rate of middle-aged individuals, if they had not undergone cross-training before.
E. Those recovering from feet injury need more rest than those recovering from other injuries do.

CR 2

An anthropological survey in the Vashland peninsula unearthed fragments of fossilized wood and pieces of sharpened flint dating back two million years. Analysis of the findings showed that the flint had been sharpened by striking it with quartzite, the most common type of stone in the Vashland peninsula.

Which of the following, if true, would, taken into consideration with the above information, provide the best basis for the claim that the flint and wood fragments are proof that early hominids used relatively complex stone and wood tools?

A. The quartzite is used as a building material by the present-day inhabitants of Vashland peninsula.
B. Landslides can cause flint to be struck by quartzite.
C. The flint and wood fragments were found in several discrete layers of metamorphic stone that contained fossilized traces of plant resin known to have been used as an adhesive agent by early hominids.
D. Apart from the Vashland discovery, there is reliable evidence that early hominids used relatively complex stone and wood tools as early as one million years ago.
E. The flint fragments were analyzed by anthropologists to determine the exact area of the Vashland peninsula they had been mined from.

When it comes to purity standards in the food industry, demanding the most exacting results that the best hygiene practices can achieve is unwise. Although contemporary hygiene practices can isolate and eliminate the most minute amounts of impurities, doing so is exorbitantly expensive, with respect to the improvement achieved. Thus, it would be more reliable to set standards by accounting for all current and future risks involved than by demanding the best hygiene practices

The argument given concerning the better way to set standards assumes that

A. at present, the food industry meets the standards established by public health authorities
B. the only impurities worth gauging are introduced by the food industry
C. all of the relevant risks posed by allowing different levels of impurities can be accounted for effectively
D. preventing vast quantities of impurities from entering the food supply chain is not expensive
E. minuscule amounts of some impurities can be toxic

_____________________________
CR 2

Non-capitalist states appear to suffer economic collapse much sooner than do capitalist states. Historians theorize that it is interventionism and destabilizing influences exercised by capitalist states that lead to non-capitalist states suffering economic collapse faster than capitalist states do. This theory is hard to verify directly, as it is difficult to pinpoint with any significant accuracy what punitive practices have been undertaken by capitalist states against non-capitalist ones. A detailed study of Cuba, a non-capitalist state, however, demonstrates that much of the economic difficulty experienced by the nation arises from sanctions and trade embargoes placed by the USA, a capitalist state. This indicates that the historians’ theory has a firm basis in reality.

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

A. The first describes a position opposed by the argument; the second presents evidence that undermines support for the opposed position.
B. The first describes a position opposed by the argument; the second states the argument’s main conclusion.
C. The first presents an explanatory hypothesis; the second states the argument’s main conclusion.
D. The first presents an explanatory hypothesis; the second presents evidence that supports alternative explanation.
E. The first presents an explanatory hypothesis; the second presents evidence that tends to support this hypothesis.
