Professor Chan: The literature department’s undergraduate courses should cover only true literary works, and not such frivolous material as advertisements. Professor Wigmore: Advertisements might or might not be true literary works but they do have a powerfully detrimental effect on society—largely because people cannot discern their real messages. The literature department’s courses give students the critical skills to analyze and understand texts. Therefore, it is the literature department’s responsibility to include the study of advertisements in its undergraduate courses. Which one of the following is an assumption on which Professor Wigmore’s argument depends? (A) Texts that are true literary works never have a detrimental effect on society. (B) Courses offered by the literature department cannot include both true literary works and material such as advertisement. © Students who take courses in the literature department do not get from those courses other skills besides those needed to analyze and understand texts. (D) Forms of advertising that convey their message entirely through visual images do not have a detrimental effect on society. (E) The literature department’s responsibility is not limited to teaching students how to analyze true literary works.

Camera manufacturers typically advertise their products by citing the resolution of their camera’ lenses, the resolution of a lens being the degree of detail the lens is capable of reproducing in the image it projects onto the film. Differences between cameras in this respect are irrelevant for practical photography, however, since all modern lenses are so excellent that they project far more detail onto the film than any photographic film is capable of reproducing in a developed image. Which one of the following most accurately states the main point of the argument? (A) Camera manufacturers ought to concentrate on building other desirable qualities into their cameras’ lenses, rather than concentrating only on the lenses’ resolution. (B) Apart from differences in resolution, there is no practical difference among modern cameras in the quality of the images that they produce. © Advertised differences among cameras in the resolution of their lenses have no practical bearing on the cameras’ relative quality as photographic tools. (D) In concentrating their advertising on the issue of image quality, manufacturers are making a mistake about the interests of potential purchasers of cameras. (E) Differences among photographic films in the amount of detail they reproduce have a more significant effect on the quality of the developed image than do differences in the resolution of camera lenses.

Why not C. Can someone explain.

The current pattern of human consumption of resources, in which we rely on nonrenewable resources, for example metal ore, must eventually change. Since there is only so much metal ore available, ultimately we must either do without or turn to renewable resources to take its place. Which one of the following is an assumption required by the argument? (A) There are renewable resource replacements for all of the nonrenewable resources currently being consumed. (B) We cannot indefinitely replace exhausted nonrenewable resources with other nonrenewable resources. © A renewable resource cannot be exhausted by human consumption. (D) Consumption of nonrenewable resources will not continue to increase in the future. (E) Ultimately we cannot do without nonrenewable resources.

Mystery stories often feature a brilliant detective and the detective’s dull companion. Clues are presented in the story, and the companion wrongly infers an inaccurate solution to the mystery using the same clues that the detective uses to deduce the correct solution. Thus, the author’s strategy of including the dull companion gives readers a chance to solve the mystery while also diverting them from the correct solution. Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the information above? (A) Most mystery stories feature a brilliant detective who solves the mystery presented in the story. (B) Mystery readers often solve the mystery in a story simply by spotting the mistakes in the reasoning of the detective’s dull companion in that story. © Some mystery stories give readers enough clues to infer the correct solution to the mystery. (D) The actions of the brilliant detective in a mystery story rarely divert readers from the actions of the detective’s dull companion. (E) The detective’s dull companion in a mystery story generally uncovers the misleading clues that divert readers from the mystery’s correct solution.

The spectacular disintegration of a comet last year in full view of ground- and space-based telescopes provided new insights into how comets form and thus may force a rethinking of the role of comets in the delivery of organic compounds to the evolving earth. A. The spectacular disintegration of a comet last year in full view of ground- and space-based telescopes provided new insights into how comets form and thus may force B. The spectacular disintegration of a comet last year in full view of ground- and space-based telescopes, provided new insights into how comets form and thus possibly forcing C. When a comet's spectacular disintegration occured in full view of ground- and space-based telescopes last year, it provided new insights into how comets form and thus possibly forcing D. Last year, in full view of ground- and space-based telescopes, a comet's spectacular disintegration provided new insights into how comets form and thus possibly forcing E. Last year, in full view of ground- and space-based telescopes, the spectacular disintegration of a comet has provided new insights into how comets form and may thus force

The correct answer is C. The conclusion is that "if major industries increase their capital reserves, the employment rate will not decline in the future." Why? Because major industry did not have capital reserves. The author assumes that having capital reserves is sufficient to prevent a decline in the employment rate. However, the author fails to recognize that other factors could affect the employment rate, such as an increase in labor costs (as pointed out by choice C).
