Which one of the following, if true, most weakens the criticism against heavy weight lifting by amateur bodybuilders?
A. The number of injuries during amateur heavy weight lifting workouts has gone up by thirty percent in the past two years.

Q2. As a Christmas bounty, the city council of Granara decided to provide all Granara residents free intercom service in order to reduce their expenses on telephone bills. Every person in the town applauded the announcement because it was evident that every household would be benefited from this move. However, when the plan came to implementation, people were found hesitant in paying the required $100 one-time fee for the same. “The telephone bill every household would save in three months was enough to justify $100, yet it is not clear why people are not signing up”, the Mayor said in a review meeting on the project.
Which one of the following, if true, most helps to explain the residents’ hesitation to sign up while simultaneously believing in the benefits of the scheme?
A. Cheap mobile phone connection plans for long distance calls were round the corner and everyone was waiting for them.
B. The intercom would benefit people only when everyone in the town had a connection, and people were skeptical about everyone signing up.
C. The same telecom companies that provided private telephone connections to residents would build the intercom network.
D. The intercom network did not include the offices outside town where some of the residents worked.
E. People believe that $100 was worth their savings in telephone bills of six months, and not three months as the Mayor believed.

Q2. Ever since a major government scam was exposed to the public by the media three months ago, government irregularities, however small, have kept surfacing at regular intervals. The government officials assert that the attention given by the media to government affairs has gone up and hence, the media is reporting irregularities that have legitimate explanations and would have gone unnoticed otherwise. Thus, it is the media’s over attention to government affairs that is resulting in high irregularity reports, and these are certainly no inexplicable irregularities, the officials maintain.
Which one of the following, if true, would seriously weaken the assertions of the government officials?
A. The media has been scrutinizing the government not only for irregularities and scams but also for its administrative performance.
B. The media is not qualified enough to comment on many of the irregularities because the media lacks comprehensive knowledge of the government records.
C. The government officials have been nonetheless critical of the media attacks on all irregularities pointed out including the recent government scam.
D. The media often tries to project small issues in a big way in order to obtain high viewership.
E. The latest media report indicates that the number of irregularities has actually gone down over the past three months.
