  1. E is the correct answer. Could someone explain this?
  2. Several of a certain bank’s top executives have recently been purchasing shares in their own bank. This activity has occasioned some surprise, since it is widely believed that the bank, carrying a large number of bad loans, is on the brink of collapse. Since the executives are well placed to know their bank’s true condition, it might seem that their share purchases show that the danger of collapse is exaggerated. However, the available information about the bank’s condition is from reliable and informed sources, and corporate executives do sometimes buy shares in their own company in a calculated attempt to calm worries about their company’s condition. On balance, therefore, it is likely that the executives of the bank are following this example. In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles? The first describes the circumstance the explanation of which is the issue that the argument addresses; the second states the main conclusion of the argument. The first describes the circumstance the explanation of which is the issue the argument addresses; the second states a conclusion that is drawn in order to support the main conclusion of the argument. The first provides evidence to defend the position that the argument seeks to establish against opposing positions; the second states the main conclusion of the argument. The first provides evidence to support the position that the argument seeks to establish; the second states a conclusion that is drawn in order to support the argument’s main conclusion. Each provides evidence to support the position that the argument seeks to establish.
  3. Environmental organizations want to preserve the land surrounding the Wilgrinn Wilderness Area from residential development. They plan to do this by purchasing that land from the farmers who own it. That plan is ill-conceived: if the farmers did sell their land, they would sell it to the highest bidder, and developers would outbid any other bidders. On the other hand, these farmers will never actually sell any of the land, provided that farming it remains viable. But farming will not remain viable if the farms are left unmodernized, and most of the farmers lack the financial resources modernization requires. And that is exactly why a more sensible preservation strategy would be to assist the farmers to modernize their farms to the extent needed to maintain viability. In the argument as a whole, the two boldface proportions play which of the following roles? A. The first presents a goal that the argument rejects as ill-conceived; the second is evidence that is presented as grounds for that rejection. B. The first presents a goal that the argument concludes cannot be attained; the second is a reason offered in support of that conclusion. C. The first presents a goal that the argument concludes can be attained; the second is a judgment disputing that conclusion. D. The first presents a goal, strategies for achieving which are being evaluated in the argument; the second is a judgment providing a basis for the argument¡¯s advocacy of a particular strategy. E. The first presents a goal that the argument endorses; the second presents a situation that the argument contends must be changed if that goal is to be met in the foreseeable future. We do not have a conclusion for this question. I would like you to discuss it again. IMO, I think A is correct.
