  1. The Board of Directors of the Lejon Etymological Museum imposed a 50-cent admission charge in order to reduce the Museum's deficit. Attendance remained stable and there was no protest from the public, so, six months later, the Museum announced that the admission price would go up to $1.50. It can be inferred that, in increasing the admission charge to $1.50, the Board of Directors assumed that: A) People did not protest the initial charge because they felt it was necessary to keep the Museum in operation B)Since people did not protest the initial charge, they will also accept the raised price C)Since $1.50 is three times the original charge, it is probable that attendance will drop as the public protests the increase D)The increased revenue from admissions will enable the Museum to expand its operations E) Tripling the admission cost every six months will not cause a drop in attendance I was struggling between B and E. Finally selected E. However OA is B. Can anyone help in

  10. Generally, "than" appear in sentence after adj or adv and "than" is followed by noun, e.g. Paying more than $500fee. The hole was deeper than 12ft. Therefore, it seems option "D" may not be correct Other meaning of "Than" is "compared to" e.g. I am older than him. However, option "B" is changing meaning - "any other univ" means :100% no other univ, which is defferent than "other univ" Any more views?
  11. (A) If the upward trend in out-shopping continues at a significant level and the amounts paid by the government for Canadian social services are maintained, the Canadian goods-and-services tax will be assessed at a higher rate. only option can be logically inferred from the arguement (B) If Canada imposes a substantial tariff on the goods bought across the border, a reciprocal tariff on cross-border shopping in the other direction will be imposed, thereby harming Canadian businesses. Out of scope © The amounts the Canadian government pays out to those who provide social services to Canadians are increasing. Out of scope- no one knows how govt pays and is increasing / decreasing as per argeuement (D) The same brands of goods are available to Canadian shoppers across the border as are available in Canada. Cannot be inferred from the info given in arguement (E) Out-shopping purchases are subject to Canadian taxes when the purchaser crosses the border to bring them into Canada.cannot say as per arguement- I consider this Out of scope
