Edward Grieg: Your gallery is biased against my paintings. I have submitted twenty canvases in the last three years and you have not accepted any of them for display. You are punishing me because I won the Western Art award three years ago and your manager thought the award should have gone to his artist son.

Gallery owner: You are wrong! Our acceptance standards and display policies do not discriminate against you. Our staff covers the painters’ names, so the review board does not know who the artist is when it determines which pieces of art will be accepted for display and sale. The review board would not know which paintings you submitted.

Which one of the following assumptions does the gallery owner make in his reply?

(A) The gallery manager holds no bad feelings about Edward Grieg winning the Western Art award over his artist son.

(B) Many artists submit their work to galleries without having any pieces accepted for display.

(C) The review board cannot recognize Edward Grieg’s paintings without seeing his name on the canvases.

(D) The gallery accepts only nature studies, and Edward Grieg’s paintings frequently portray people and interior settings.

(E) The review board has tended to favor oil paintings over the last several years and Edward Grieg more typically paints water colors.

CR 2

­A cancer drug that shows positive results in early laboratory tests can generate a great deal of interest from cancer patients. Because of this interest, and the desire to make a profit early in the development cycle, many pharmaceutical companies rush the new drug to market as quickly as possible. But positive early results are often misleading, meaning that the effort to bring the drug to market was largely wasted. Consequently, the strategy to maximize long-term profit from a new cancer drug is to bring the drug to market only after its positive effects are more thoroughly tested and established.

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

(A) The first is a consideration that has been raised to argue that a certain strategy is counterproductive; the second presents an alternative strategy.

(B) The first is a consideration raised to support the strategy that the argument recommends; the second presents that strategy.

(C) The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second presents an alternative strategy.

(D) The first is an assumption, rejected by the argument, that has been used to justify a course of action; the second presents that course of action.

(E) The first is a consideration that has been used to justify pursuing a goal that the argument rejects; the second presents a course of action that has been adopted in pursuit of that goal.­
