Train service suffers when a railroad combines commuter and freight service. By dividing its attention between its freight and commuter customers, a railroad serves neither particularly well. Therefore, if a railroad is going to be a successful business, then it must concentrate exclusively on one of these two markets.

For the argument to be logically correct, it must make which one of the following assumptions?

(A) Commuter and freight service have little in common with each other.
(B) The first priority of a railroad is to be a successful business.
(C) Unless a railroad serves its customers well, it will not be a successful business.
(D) If a railroad concentrates on commuter service, it will be a successful business.
(E) Railroad commuters rarely want freight service as well.

Confused between C/ E

even if i negate e ...it still makes sense

Q1. Although the fine for overspeeding on highways has been tripled, many young adults still drive faster than the prescribed speed limits. Recently, the highway patrolling police came up with a new speedgun that indicates on a GPS system any movement faster than the prescribed speed limit. While this technology may help in catching more cases of overspending, the local media is accusing the state patrolling police for finding alternate means for improving its ticket collections. With the young adults constituting only 5% of the total drivers in the state, improvement expected in ticket collections is not likely to be significant. Therefore, the accusation by the local media against the state patrolling police is certainly uncalled for.

Which one of the following, if true, most helps to strengthen the conclusion drawn in the argument?

A. Most drivers who are not young adults will not understand how the speedguns could detect them.

B. There are sophisticated devices that car drivers can use to detect the use of a speedgun and so can avoid getting caught.

C. Most of the young adult drivers have adhered to the speed limits since the increase in fine.

D. Almost all drivers who are not young adults take care not to overspeed since the increase in fine.

E. Speedguns are expensive but the patrol police can use fake speedguns only to scare potential overspeeders.

Q2. The Electoral College, the institution that elects the President and the Vice President of the United States every four years, is often regarded among Americans as an anachronistic method of electing a President. The advocates of this position argue that the Electoral College method is not democratic in a modern sense and should be superseded by a simpler, popular institution prevalent in many democracies. The Constitution provides that “Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress.” It is the electors who elect the President, not the people. When you vote for a presidential candidate, you’re actually voting for a slate of electors.

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage above?

(A) It is possible that the Electoral College would be replaced by a different institution.
(B) The Electoral College is non-democratic.
(C) The Electoral College will be soon replaced by a more popular, accepted form of democracy.
(D) Through Electoral College, one can directly vote for a presidential candidate.
(E) The people’s choice for presidential candidate generally differs from the electors’ choice.

CR Butler Questions December - 6 :

Q1. A regional chapter of the International Business Club (IBC) has found that, because of the number of international companies establishing their business in the United States, the contribution of local entrepreneurs to the IBC is almost negligible. In order to get more local businesses to contribute, the club has proposed to host seminars on how local entrepreneurs can establish their businesses in other countries

Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest reason to expect that the proposed seminars will be successful in attracting local entrepreneurs to support the IBC?

A. The IBC participation of many international companies has decreased considerably in the past few years.

B. Most local entrepreneurs do not contribute to the IBC because they cannot afford the membership rates of the club

C. Some local businessmen have been long-term supporters of the IBC, contributing actively to the organization

D. Many prominent entrepreneurs who are CEOs of multinational companies will be delivering talks at the seminar.

E. Some local businessmen have been voicing their interest in launching branches overseas.

Q2. A recent examination of the waters of the Southern Ocean showed a substantial increase in pollution levels, which is usually caused by routine oil spills during industrial drilling operations in the area. Last month, an article published in the biannual newsletter of a prominent environmental organization attributed this increase to the operations of Gaston Inc., an oil company with several large deep-water drilling operations. This claim is not undermined by the finding that none of Gaston Inc.’s oil plants in the Southern Ocean had any oil spills, because ____________.

A. most increases in the pollution levels of oceans take place because of deep-water drilling operations

B. oil usually floats several feet below the surface of the ocean rather than at the surface itself

C. pollutants that enter the ocean sometimes take decades to affect the marine environment

D. tankers that transport oil from drilling plants to offshore locations often develop leaks

E. calculated amounts of oil are sometimes deliberately discarded by oil plants to maintain water pressure in the area surrounding the plant

Is this question correct? There seems to be no correct answer

B has correct parallelism, but has improper usage

C has correct idiom but wrong parallelism (was not created... but was) the stucture has double "was".

CR Butler Questions December - 7 :

Q1. In the last year, a company has lost a few clients and gained a few. But the number of clients lost has been lower than the number of new clients. Also, the average sales for each new client are more than the average sales for each of the other clients. Therefore, it is likely that the company’s average sales per client have been increasing steadily

Which of the following is required for the above argument to hold?

A. Currently, the total number of clients is more than the total number of clients that existed before the company lost some of its clients

C. Most of the clients lost were already planning to terminate their relationship with the company
D. There has been no decrease in the quality of the services provided by the company since the company lost some of its clients last year
E. The average sales per client lost were not significantly higher than the average sales for each of the other clients

Q2. The industrial revolution, which took place during the late eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century, is the historical time period in which new manufacturing processes began to be used on a large scale. While some argue that the individual’s standard of living increased at an unprecedented rate during this time, others believe that it was only the overall growth of the economy that increased, and that standards of living did not rise significantly until the twentieth century; the latter belief is clearly true, since _________________________

Which of the following, if true, best completes the passage above?

A. social writings from this time indicate that workers’ living conditions deteriorated during the revolution.

B. the revolution affected not just the professional lives but also the everyday lives of people at the time.
