Critical Reasoning Butler: March 2025 March 12 CR 1 CR 2 ________________________ CR 1 The Asian Giant Hornet is an invasive species that routinely attacks North American bee colonies, decimating the bee populations and the many flowering plants that rely on the bees for pollination. Fortunately, conservationists have identified a toxin that renders the Asian Giant Hornet sterile. Introducing large quantities of this toxin into the food chain of regions infested by the Asian Giant Hornet will make it possible to save the flowering plants of those regions. Which of the following, if true, provides the most support for the conclusion of the argument? A. If introduced in large quantities, the toxin not only sterilizes the Asian Giant Hornet but also many benign hornet species. B. The presence of the toxin in the food chain will not sterilize the bees. C. It is recently discovered that there are more toxins present in the hornet’s food chain than what conservationists previously believed. D. Animals that feed on flowering plants avoid areas infested by the Asian Giant Hornet. E. The amount of the toxin naturally present in regions infested by the Asian Giant Hornet is neither significantly greater nor significantly less than the amount present in regions without the hornet. ________________________ CR 2 The clearing of shrubs helps reduce the expenditure on firefighting efforts by greatly reducing the occurrence of forest fires. Yet, savings in firefighting expenses amounts to only one-third of the expenditure required to regularly clear away shrubs. Therefore, this practice is not economically justifiable. Which of the following, if true, is most damaging to the conclusion above? A. Effective fire prevention presupposes the occurrence of fires from a range of causes, and detection of all causes is costly. B. The cost, per forest, of clearing away shrubs would remain the same even if it was a large scale, regular practice. C. Ideally, economics should not be the dominant consideration in matters of firefighting. D. Forest fires cost relatively little in immediate firefighting efforts but the damage they cause leads to other types of large scale economic costs. E. The overall savings in firefighting resources achieved by some fire prevention measures are smaller than those achieved by other measures.

Data Sufficiency Butler: March 2025 March 12 DS 1 DS 2 _______________________ DS 1 In four production runs (Runs 1 to 4), a quality inspector found w, x, y, and z defective items, respectively. If the standard deviation of these four defect counts was d, was the standard deviation of the defect counts for the next four production runs (Runs 5 to 8) greater than d? (1) In each of the next four runs, Runs 5, 6, 7, and 8, the number of defective items found was 3. (2) In each of the next four runs, Runs 5, 6, 7, and 8, the number of defective items found was n greater than in Runs 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. _______________________ DS 2 In a class of 48 students, some are in chess club and some are in swim class.

Critical Reasoning Butler: March 2025 March 13 CR 1 CR 2 _________________________ CR 1 Research has shown that a diet rich in raw vegetables helps inhibit cancer growth in rats. A group of rats with a genetic predisposition for stomach cancer were fed a diet of raw vegetables and displayed a thirty percent lower rate of cancer development than a similar group raised on a combination of raw vegetables and meat. The research described above is most likely to be applicable in addressing which of the following questions? A. Can workers in labor-intensive fields perform better by taking up a vegetarian diet? B. Do animal proteins inhibit certain types of cancer more efficiently than they inhibit other types of cancer? C. What hereditary diseases are rats subject to? D. How do habitual carnivores avoid cancer? E. Can pediatricians reduce children’s risk of getting cancer by recommending vegetarian diets? _________________________ CR 2 Following a banking crash in the country of Econa, the country has faced a recession that has included a contraction of the real estate sector, wherein sales are down by about twelve percent compared to two years ago when the recession began. Real estate firms have found, however, that the proportion of mortgage holders who paid their monthly installments on time fell sharply in the first year of the recession, but the following year it stabilized at its pre-recession level. Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the change between the first two years of the recession in the proportion of mortgage holders who paid their monthly installments on time? A. Of the numerous Econan homeowners facing financial difficulties prior to the recession, almost all defaulted on their mortgages in the first year, surrendering their homes to the lenders. B. Econan homeowners saw many of their costs, utilities, and taxes in particular, increase between the recession’s first and second years. C. The total number of mortgage holders increased between the recession’s first and second years. D. Real estate firms in Econa tried to bolster sales during the recession’s second year by arranging for low-interest mortgages. E. Those segments of the real estate market that are relatively immune to the effects of a recession, such as the sale of real estate for public works, suffered no drop in sales during the recession’s first year.
