CR 1

The government’s efforts to stifle the import of foreign electronic items failed in 2000. If these efforts had been successful, the wholesale price of most electronic items would not have dropped substantially in 2000.

The argument in the passage depends on which of the following assumptions?

A) The foreign electronic goods supply fell considerably in 2000.
B) In 2000, the drop in the wholesale price of most foreign electronic items was not solely because of the drop in the demand of such items.
C) The domestic production of electronic items increased at a higher rate than did the import of such items.
D) In 2000, the wholesale price of a few foreign electronic items increased considerably.
E) The price to the average consumer for foreign electronic items did not drop considerably in 2000.

CR 2

Textile engineers have created a fiber coating to produce fabric that prevents viruses from adhering to the surface. However, the coating is fairly expensive, and the fabric consumes more chemicals and water in its production than do traditional fabrics. Resultantly, for the majority of textile companies, the increased earnings from the new premium fabric would not offset the costs of the fiber coating and additional chemicals. Yet, as demand for garments that can repel viruses continues to rise, the use of coated fiber of this type is expected to spread extensively.

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

A. The first presents a development that the argument predicts will lead to a certain result; the second recognizes a consideration that tends to weigh against that prediction.
B. The first provides a context for the argument; the second is the main conclusion of the argument.
C. The first introduces a development that the argument predicts will lead to a certain result; the second is a state of affairs that, as per the argument, contributes to bringing about that result.
D. The first provides evidence to support a prediction that the argument seeks to defend; the second is that prediction.
E. The first and the second each provide evidence that supports the main conclusion of the argument.

The oldest extant iteration of Gameco’s coding engine is forty years old. The fact that the code used in this engine frequently uses lower-level programming languages indicates that Gameco formulated its coding practices at least ten years before the aforesaid coding engine was produced. Keep in mind, Gameco adopted its coding engine from Crytek; presumably, alongside the coding engine, Gameco also adopted Crytek’s then-current practices regarding the programming languages employed. And although Crytek coding was originally an amalgamation of lower- and higher-level languages, forty years ago, Crytek was consistently using higher-level languages, and had been doing so for about ten years.

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

(A) The first and the second each describe evidence used to challenge the position that the argument seeks to establish.
(B) The first is evidence on which an objection to the position that the argument seeks to establish is based; the second is that position.
(C) The first and the second each provide evidence supporting the position that the argument seeks to establish.
(D) The first is evidence on which an objection to the position that the argument seeks to establish is based; the second is a consideration the argument introduces to counter the force of that evidence.
(E) The first provides evidence supporting the position that the argument seeks to establish; the second is that position.

Many have suggested that increased qualification standards have been the primary cause of the present recruitment shortfall in the navy. However, the shortage has actually been caused by the facts that in recent years, seamen have not experienced any improvements in the work environment and that their salaries have not kept pace with salaries in the other branches of the armed forces.

Which of the following, if true, would most support the claims above?

A. Many seamen already in the navy would not have been recruited under the new qualification standards.
B. Many seamen have cited low pay and confined workspace as reasons for leaving the navy.
C. Some seamen have cited increased standards for qualification as a reason for the current recruitment shortfall.
D. Today more seamen are joining the navy with a higher educational level than in the past.
E. Many prospective seamen have cited the new qualification standards as a reason for not joining the navy.

A common contention among economists is that if they could build an accurate mathematical model that accounted for all economic variables, they could effectively foretell the results of any economic action. But this meaningless conjecture cannot be evaluated because any inadequate predictions would obviously be blamed on imperfections in the model.

Which of the following, if true, would cast the most serious doubt on the economists’ conjecture?

A. The monetary supply produced and maintained by nations across the world is carefully observed and known to be inconsistent.
B. With existing economic models, large scale economic shifts can be predicted with greater accuracy than can relatively local changes in the economy.
C. As existing economic models improve, even small increments in complexity will require large increases in the number of computers required to implement the improved models.
D. Frequent, precise data regarding the decisions of governments and major corporations, as well as accurate predictions regarding upcoming climactic changes, are a prerequisite for constructing an accurate economic model.
E. Irrational human behavior, unexpected natural disasters, and several other processes that also cannot be quantified accurately are known to significantly and continuously affect the economy.

Research shows that experimental stem cell procedures designed to repair organ damage primarily affect the integrity of the organ tissue rather than the growth of individual cells within the tissue. Therefore, analyzing the effects of such treatments on the health of the individual cells is irrelevant. Rather, the effectiveness of these treatments should only be assessed at the tissue level.

Which of the following would it be most useful to establish in order to evaluate the argument?

A. Whether two methods to measure the integrity of the treated tissue usually give similar judgment
B. Whether the health of individual cells can be effectively analyzed without introducing factors that may impact cell health positively or negatively
C. Whether the health of individual cells affects the integrity of organ tissue
D. Whether some organs can repair comparable levels of damage without the treatment
E. Whether the research has shown that the stem cell procedure effective in treating one organ can repair damage to another organ
