_________________________________________
CR 1

Domestic agriculture is struggling because agriculture from overseas is available at lower prices. Since improved agrarian technology would enable domestic farmers to produce agriculture at more competitive costs, to improve the competitiveness of domestic agriculture, the government plans to subsidize domestic farmers, because as it pays subsidies directly to these domestic farmers, the farmers will have the funds they need to invest in technology.

Which of the following, if true, raises the most serious doubt regarding the effectiveness of the government's plan to improve the competitiveness of domestic agriculture?

A. The cost benefits of investing in agrarian technology could take several years to manifest.

B. Overseas farmers might have some competitive advantage over domestic farmers other than price competitiveness.

C. Domestic producers of agriculture have some incentive not use the subsidies to invest in agrarian technology.

D. The technological enhancement will be valid only for two years, after which competitors in other countries would have outpaced the capabilities of domestic agriculture.

E. The subsidies paid to domestic farmers will come out of national tax funds that would be better spent in other ways.

______________________________________
CR 2

World-class marathon runners do not run more than six miles per day when they are training. Therefore, if you run more than six miles per day, you are not world-class.

Which of the following statements supports its conclusion in the same manner as the argument above?

A. Sprinters always run in the morning. If it is morning, and you see someone running, it will not be a sprinter.

B. Paint never dries in less than three hours. If it dries in less than three hours, it is not paint.

C. Little League games are more fun for the parents than for the children who actually play. Therefore, the parents should be made to play.

D. If a car starts in the morning, chances are it will start again that evening. Our car always starts in the morning, and it always starts in the evening as well.

E. If you sleep less than four hours per night, you may be doing yourself a disservice. Studies have shown that the most valuable sleep occurs in the fifth hour.

________________________________
CR 1

Although measuring the productivity of outside consultants is a complex endeavor, Company K, which relies heavily on consultants for longterm projects, must find ways to assess the performance of these workers. The risks to a company that does not review the productivity of its human resources are simply too great. Last year, Company L was forced into receivership after its productivity declined for the third straight quarter.

The bolded phrases play which of the following roles in the argument above?

A. The first phrase states the author’s conclusion, and the second phrase refutes that conclusion.

B. The first phrase states an assumption of the argument, and the second phrase provides evidence to undermine that position.

C. The first phrase states one of the author’s premises, and the second phrase provides the argument’s conclusion.

D. The first phrase states a position, and the second phrase refutes that position.

E. The first phrase states the conclusion, and the second phrase supports the conclusion with an analogy.
________________________________
CR 2

It has recently been proposed that we adopt an all-volunteer army. This policy was tried on a limited basis several years ago and was a miserable failure. The level of education of the volunteers was unacceptably low, while levels of drug use and crime soared among army personnel. Can we trust our national defense to a volunteer army? The answer is clearly “No.”

Which of the following statements, if true, most strengthens the author’s claim that an all-volunteer army should not be implemented?

A. The general level of education has risen since the first time an all-volunteer army was tried.

B. The proposal was made by an organization called Citizens for Peace.

C. The first attempt to create a volunteer army was carried out according to the same plan now under proposal and under the same conditions as those that exist today.

D. A volunteer army would be less expensive than an army that relies on the draft.

E. The size of the army needed today is smaller than that needed when a volunteer army was first tried.
