March 16	CR 1	CR 2

CR 1

Conventional wisdom would suggest providing aid to small businesses first during a recession because they are at the greatest risk of collapsing if they encounter a financial crisis. The current recession poses especially harsh risks to small businesses and almost none to financial institutions, particularly banks. Nevertheless, economic experts are recommending providing aid to banks first rather than to small businesses.

Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest reason for the economic experts’ recommendation?

A. Banks are vulnerable to financial crisis when their revenue streams are severely impacted by other factors.
B. Banks are no more likely than small businesses to be able to weather a recession if they have not experienced a previous recession of similar magnitude.
C. The aid received by banks during the previous recession will be of no benefit during the current recession.
D. Small businesses that successfully weather a financial crisis are likely to develop sound strategies for overcoming at least some major financial challenges that they have not faced thus far.
E. During recessions, in the absence of aid, banks generally put stringent limits on the disbursement of loans, which are essential for small businesses to function.

CR 2

CEO: Many potential investors who have only received second-hand accounts of our internal workings believe that we have an inadequate Human Resources Department. This belief is unfounded, as evidenced by the fact that over the past four years, this company has devoted more resources to improving hiring processes and employee discipline protocols than any of our peers have.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the reasoning in the CEO’s argument?

A. In the CEO’s company, expenditure on the Human Resources Department has been rising more slowly over the past four years than it has in several other similar companies.
B. In general, the adequacy of a company’s Human Resources Department is not as important to an investor considering investing in the company as is the company’s overall market share.
C. Only companies with severely inadequate Human Resources departments need to spend large amounts of resources on improving hiring processes and employee discipline protocols.
D. Generally, the efficiency of a company’s Human Resources Department depends on the number of employees and local labor laws.
E. Over the past four years, several prominent investors have invested in the company.

The average water temperature in the Bay of Fundy was forty degrees Fahrenheit last winter, but this winter it is forty-three degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, we can conclude that the water in the Bay of Fundy is warming and its temperature will be higher still next winter.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion above?

A. The water temperature estimations were computed on the basis of a representative sample of environmental data rather than the entirety of available data.
B. Government intervention cannot significantly affect the water temperature in the Bay of Fundy.
C. The warming of the Bay of Fundy is tied to the speed of the ocean currents, and an average winter temperature of forty-three degrees Fahrenheit results in increased current flow from warmer waters in the east, further warming the bay.
D. The average water temperature of forty degrees Fahrenheit last winter represented a ten-year low.
E. Last winter, an anomalous arctic wind flow brought the average water temperature in the Bay of Fundy below the recent stable average temperature of forty-three degrees Fahrenheit.

Methodical, carefully planned tactics are typically considered preferable to improvisational tactics for tackling challenges on the battlefield. Yet, recent research has found that high-ranking military officers rely on improvisation significantly more than do most middle-ranked or low-ranked officers. This finding confirms the opposing viewpoint that improvisational planning is in fact more effective than careful, methodical planning.

The conclusion above is based on which of the following assumptions?

A) Methodical, careful planning is unsuitable for tackling many real-life challenges.
B) High-ranking military officers are capable of using either improvisational planning or methodical, careful planning in tackling challenges.
C) The challenges tackled by middle-ranked and lower-ranked military officers can be handled as easily by using methodical planning as by using improvisational planning.
D) High-ranking military officers are more effective at tackling challenges than are middle-ranking or low-ranking military officers.
E) High-ranking military officers use improvisational planning in tackling the majority of their challenges.
