A study has found that new ventures that are funded through bank loans are more likely to succeed than those funded by an entrepreneur’s friends and relatives. The reason for this is not difficult to fathom. The obligation to pay a fixed instalment to the bank every month prevents the entrepreneur from getting complacent and increases his motivation to succeed.

Which of the following raises the strongest doubt on the finding of the above study?

(A) Banks only fund those business ventures that have a very high probability of succeeding.

(B) The study also showed that some ventures that had been funded by an entrepreneur’s friends and relatives were extremely successful.

(C) Most entrepreneurs agree that the pressure of repaying the bank loans acts as a positive stimulus for them.

(D) It is an accepted fact that only those entrepreneurs opt for bank funding who are unable to generate funds from personal sources.

(E) According to a different study, there is a strong correlation between an entrepreneur’s educational background and the nature of his business venture.

There is not one good reason for granting men paternity leave from work, while there are several good reasons to deny it. For one, it would be an additional expense to businesses. Businesses are already facing tough times all over the world, so adding additional overhead is not an option. If the father acts like a father, he and the child will bond. If the father doesn’t act like a father, he and the child will not bond, regardless of whether he is at home or at work.

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

(A) The first is the primary conclusion of the argument and the second is a secondary conclusion.

(B) The first is the advocacy of the argument and the second raises doubts about this advocacy.

(C) The first provides evidence as to why a policy should not be adopted by businesses and the second further strengthens this evidence.

(D) The first is a conclusion that the argument disagrees with; the second provides the reasoning behind this disagreement.

(E) The first is the primary conclusion of the argument and the second provides reasoning supporting the primary conclusion.

CR 2

The usual meaning of free is devoid of cost or obligation. However, retailers often use the word for something which is merely included in the overall price. One common example is a buy one, get one free sale. The second item is not free under the normal definition, since, to obtain it, the buyer is obliged to pay the full cost of the first item.

What is the main point of the argument?

(A) Retailers often deceive buyers by creating the illusion of a discount; the buyer in fact does not get any discount.

(B) Whenever a retailer advertises an item as Free, the item is, in fact, not free.

(C) Retailers often trick customers by increasing the price of a product and then offering huge discounts on this increased price.

(D) An item cannot be free if one has to pay money in any form to acquire that item.

(E) The definition of Free can have different connotations for different people or groups of people
