In a psychological experiment conducted at South bay University, groups of men with various levels of education read stories in which people caused harm, some of them doing so intentionally, and some accidentally. When asked about appropriate penalization for those who had caused harm, the less educated men, unlike the educated ones, assigned punishments that did not vary according to whether the harm was done intentionally or accidentally. Uneducated men, then, do not regard people’s intentions as relevant to penalization. Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the conclusion above? A. In these stories, the severity of the harm produced was clearly stated. B. In interpreting these stories, the listeners had to draw on a relatively feminine sense of human psychology in order to tell whether harm was produced intentionally or accidentally. C. Relatively uneducated men are as likely to produce harm unintentionally as are more educated men. D. The more educated men assigned penalization in a way that closely resembled the way women had assign penalization in a similar experiment. E. The less educated men assigned penalization that varied according to the severity of the harm done by the agents in the stories. 2. More sports journals are sold in Hornby than in Milston.

One of the limiting factors in human physical performance is the amount of oxygen that is absorbed by the muscles from the bloodstream. Accordingly, entrepreneurs have begun selling at gymnasiums and health clubs bottles of drinking water, labeled “SuperOXY,” that has extra oxygen dissolved in the water. Such water would be useless in improving physical performance, however, since the only way to get oxygen into the bloodstream so that it can be absorbed bye the muscles is through the lungs. Which of the following, if true, would serve the same function in the argument as the statement in boldface? A. the water lost in exercising can be replaced with ordinary tap water B. the amount of oxygen in the blood of people who are exercising is already more than the muscle can absorb C. world-class athletes turn in record performance without such water D. frequent physical exercise increases the body’s ability to take in and use oxygen E. lack of oxygen is not the only factor limiting human physical performance

Because it was long thought that few people would watch lengthy televised political messages, most televised political advertisements, like commercial advertisements, took the form of short messages. Last year, however, one candidate produced a half-hour-long advertisement. During the half hour the advertisement was aired, a substantial portion of the viewing public tuned into the advertisement.

The candidate’s ratings improved significantly as a result of the half-hour-long political advertisement. B. Political advertisements have become increasingly influential in determining voters’ decisions at the polls. C. Many people would appreciate the opportunity to become better acquainted with political candidates’ views on current political issues. D. Most people who are interested in political issues watch television regularly. E. Most of the viewers who tuned in to the candidate’s half-hour-long advertisement last year did not change channels after the first few minutes.
