Many residents of Calovia are committed to using products containing recycled materials. Soon these consumers will get help in identifying such products from a book being published by the Calovian government. The book offers a comprehensive listing, by product type and brand, of goods sold in Calovia that contain recycled material.Therefore, publication of the book will almost certainly increase the use of products containing recycled materials in Calovia. Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument? A. Proceeds from the sale of the book are not expected to exceed the cost of its publication. B. For numerous types of products, there are many brands that use recycled materials, although their manufacturers and distributors do nothing to advertise those brands’ recycled content. C. For many materials, such as plastics, the recycling process results in a lower grade of material with a correspondingly different range of uses. D. For many types of products listed in the book, all the brands available in Calovia use recycled materials. E. Many manufacturers of products that contain recycled materials vary the proportion of recycled materials in those products in response to changes in price and availability.

Regulations will not allow a pesticide that is toxic to humans to be used inside houses unless the pesticide will dissipate completely from the air within eight hours after its application. One test that pesticide manufacturers standardly use to determine how quickly anti-termite pesticides dissipate involves spraying the pesticides on the walls of room-sized plywood boxes and then timing its dissipation. Which of the following would it be most useful to know in order to evaluate whether a dissipation time of just under eight hours on the manufacturers’ test indicates that an antitermite pesticide that is toxic to humans obeys regulations for use in houses? A. Whether anti-termite pesticides dissipate more slowly in furnished rooms than in plywood boxes B. Whether people who apply anti-termite pesticide standardly wear protective equipment that prevents them from being exposed to the pesticide C. Whether people whose house is being treated with anti-termite pesticide generally know that they should remain out of their house during the hours immediately after the pesticide’s application D. Whether there are anti-termite pesticides that are toxic to humans that, when subjected to the manufacturers’ test, dissipate completely from the air in the boxes in well under eight hours E. Whether anti-termite pesticides that are not toxic to humans tend to take longer to dissipate than those that are toxic

In parts of the Caribbean, the manatee, an endangered marine mammal, has long been hunted for its meat. Having noted the manatee hunters’ expert knowledge of manatees’ habits, local conservationists are encouraging the hunters to stop hunting and instead to take tourists on boat rides to see manatees. Tourist interest is high, so the plan has promise of achieving the twin goals of giving the former hunters a good income and helping ensure the manatees’ survival. Which of the following, if true, raises the most serious doubt about the plan’s chance of success? A. Many tourists who visit these parts of the Caribbean are uninterested in manatees and would not be willing to pay what the former manatee hunters would have to charge for boat rides to see manatees. B. Recovery of the species would enable some hunting to continue without putting the manatees’ survival in jeopardy again. C. In areas where manatees have traditionally been hunted for food, local people could easily replace the manatee meat in their diets with other foods obtained from the sea. D. There would not be enough former manatee hunters to act as guides for all the tourists who want to see manatees. E. To maintain their current income, manatee hunters who switched to guiding tourists would have to use far larger boats and make many more trips into the manatees’ fragile habitat than they currently do.

Please provide your reasoning ! Thanks, mogli ----------------------------------------------------- 1. Although the discount stores in Goreville’s central shopping district are expected to close within five years as a result of competition from a SpendLess discount department store that just opened, those locations will not stay vacant for long. In the five years since the opening of Colson’s, a nondiscount department store, a new store has opened at the location of every store in the shopping district that closed because it could not compete with Colson’s. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument? A. Many customers of Colson’s are expected to do less shopping there than they did before the SpendLess store opened. B. Increasingly, the stores that have opened in the central shopping district since Colson’s opened have been discount stores. C. At present, the central shopping district has as many stores operating in it as it ever had. D. Over the course of the next five years, it is expected that Goreville’s population will grow at a faster rate than it has for the past several decades. E. Many stores in the central shopping district sell types of merchandise that are not available at either SpendLess or Colson’s. -------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Which of the flowing most logically completes the argument? The attribution of the choral work Lacrimae to the composer Pescard (1400 – 1474) has been regarded as tentative, since it was based on a single treatise from the early 1500’s that named Pescard as the composer. Recently, several musical treatises from the late 1500’s have come to light, all of which name Pescard as the composer of Lacrimae. Unfortunately, these newly discovered treatises lend no support to the attribution of Lacrimae to Pescard, since _______. A. the treatise from the early 1500’s misidentifies the composers of some of the musical works it considers B. the author of the treatise from the early 1500’s had no very strong evidence on which to base the identification of Pescard as the composer of Lacrimae C. there are works that can conclusively be attributed to Pescard that are not even mentioned in the treatise from the early 1500’s D. the later treatises probably had no source for their attribution other than the earlier treatise E. no known treatises from the 1600’s identify Pescard as the composer of Lacrimae ---------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Business Consultant: Some corporations shun the use of executive titles because they fear that the use of titles indicating position in the corporation tends to inhibit communication up and down the corporate hierarchy. Since an executive who uses a title is treated with more respect by outsiders, however, use of a title can facilitate an executive’s dealings with external businesses. Clearly, corporations should adopt the compromise of encouraging their executives to use their corporate titles externally but not internally, since even if it is widely known that the corporation’s executives use titles outside their organization, this knowledge does not by itself inhibit communication within the corporation. In the consultant’s reasoning, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles? A. The first describes a strategy that has been adopted to avoid a certain problem; the second presents a drawback to that strategy. B. The first describes a strategy that has been adopted to avoid a certain problem; the second is a consideration raised to call into question the effectiveness of that strategy as a means of achieving that goal. C. The first describes a strategy that has been adopted to avoid a certain problem; the second is a consideration the consultant raises in questioning the significance of that problem. D. The first is part of an explanation that the consultant offers for a certain phenomenon; the second is that phenomenon. E. The first describes a policy for which the consultant seeks to provide a justification; the second is a consideration the consultant raises as part of that justification. ---------------------------------------------- 4. Editorial: The roof of Northtown Council’s equipment-storage building collapsed under the weight of last week’s heavy snowfall. The building was constructed recently and met local building-safety codes in every particular, except that the nails used for attaching roof supports to the building’s columns were of a smaller size than the codes specify for this purpose. Clearly, this collapse exemplifies how even a single, apparently insignificant, departure from safety standards can have severe consequences. Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the editorial’s argument? A. The only other buildings whose roofs collapsed from the weight of the snowfall were older buildings constructed according to less exacting standards than those in the safety codes. B. Because of the particular location of the equipment-storage building, the weight of snow on its roof was greater than the maximum weight allowed for in thesafety codes. C. Because the equipment-storage building was not intended for human occupation,some safety-code provisions that would have applied to an office building did not apply to it. D. The columns of the building were no stronger than the building-safety codes required for such a building. E. Because the equipment-storage building was where the council kept snowremoval equipment, the building was almost completely empty when the roof collapsed.

I still see that old scary message !
