SECTION II
Time—35 minutes
25 Questions
Questions: The questions in this section are based on the reasoning contained in brief statements or passages. For some questions more than one of the choices could conceivably answer the question. However, you are to choose the best answer that is the response that most accurately and completely answers the question. You should not make assumptions that are by commonsense standards implausible, superfluous, or incompatible with the passage, After you have chosen the best answer, blacken the corresponding space on your answer sheet.
1. The basic ingredients from which cement is made are both cheap and plentiful. Materials as common as limestone and clay will do. Nevertheless. The price of cement is influenced by the price of oil, because turning the basic ingredients into cement in high-temmerature kilns use large amounts of energy.
Which one of the following can be logically inferred from the passage?
(A) Oil is one of the basic ingredients that make up cement
(B) Oil is a source of energy for some of the kilns used in the making of cement
(C) The higher the price of cement rises, the higher the price of clay rises
(D) Whenever oil prices rise cement prices drop
(E) A given amount of cement costs no more than the total cost of its basic ingredients
2. Many people do not understand themselves, nor do they try to gain self-understanding These people might try to understand others, but these attempts are sure to fail, because without self-understanding it is impossible to understand others. It is clear from this that anyone who lacks self-understanding will be incapable of understanding others.
The reasoning in the argument is flawed because the argument
(A) mistakes something that is necessary to bring about a situation for something that in itself is enough to bring about that situation
(B) fails to take into account the possibility that not everyone wants to gain a thorough understanding of himself or herself
(C) blames people for something for which they cannot legitimately be held responsible
(D) makes use of the inherently vague term "self-understanding" without defining that term
(E) draws a conclusion that simply restates a claim given in support of that conclusion
Questions 3-4
Wife: The work of the artist who painted the portrait of my grandparents 50 years ago has become quite popular lately, so the portrait has recently become valuable. But since these sorts of artistic fads fade rapidly, the practical thing to do would be to sell the portrait while it is still worth something, and thereby enable our daughter to attend the college she has chosen.
Husband: How could you make such a suggestion? That painting is the only thing you own that belonged to your grandparents. I don t think it s a very good painting, but it has great sentimental value. Besides, you owe it to our daughter to keep it in the family as a link to her family s past
3. Which one of the following principles, if established, does most to justify the husband s reply?
(A) Gifts offered as sentimental tokens of affection should not be accepted if the recipient intends to sell them later for profit
(B) A beautiful work of art is more valuable than the money it could be sold for, whatever the amount
(C) It is more important for parents to provide their children with tangible links to the family s past than it is to enable them to attend the college of their choice.
(D) Children and grandchildren have a duty to preserve family heirlooms only if they have promised their parents or grandparents that they would do so.
[6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [NextPage]
(E) Providing one s children with an education is more important than providing them with material goods, even if the goods have sentimental value.
4. The husband uses which one of the following argumentative techniques in replying to the wife s suggestion?
(A) taking issue with the practicality of her suggestion
(B) questioning her aesthetie judgment
(C) claiming that the reasons she gives are based on emotions rather than on rational considerations
(D) asserting that the evidence she cites in support of her suggestion is false
(E) invoking a competing obligation that he judges to override her practical considerations
5. Questions have arisen regarding the accuracy of the reports the university s archaeological museum issues on its sales and acquisitions for the year. To forestall controversy, this year s report is being reviewed by three archaeologists from other universities. Since these archaeologists will be given full access to all documents on which the report is based, they will be able to determine whether it is indeed accurate.
The reasoning in the argument is flawed because the argument
(A) does not specify whether the reviewers will have access to data about objects that have been in the museum s collection for many years
(B) provides no information regarding the size or quality of the archaeological museum s collection
(C) omits any mention of whether the museum s collection is on display or is available only to researchers
(D) omits any mention of whether the museum s collection is on display or is available only to researchers
(E) does not describe what will occur if the reviewers discover discrepancies between the report and the documents on which it was based
6. Engineer: Some people argue that the world s energy problems could be solved by mining the Moon for helium-3, which could be used for fuel in fusion reactors. But this is nonsense. Even if it were possible to mine the Moon for helium-3, the technology needed to build viable fusion reactors that could use such fuel is at least 50 years away. If the world s energy problems are not solved before then, it will be too late to solve those problems.
The main point of the argument is that
(A) mining the Moon for helium-3 is currently not feasible
(B) fusion reactors that are now being planned are not designed to use hilium-3 as fuel
(C) people who advocate mining the Moon for helium-3 do not realize that fusion reactors could be designed to use fuels other than helium-3
(D) mining the Moon for helium-3 is not a possible solution to the world s energy problems
(E) if the world s energy problems are not solved within the next 50 years, it will be too late to solve those problems.
Questions 7-8
The fishing industry cannot currently be relied upon to help the government count the seabirds killed by net fishing, since an accurate count might result in restriction of net fishing. The goveernment should therefore institute a program under which tissue samples from the dead birds are examined to determine the amount of toxins in the fish eaten by the birds. The industry would then have a reason to turn in the bird carcasses, since the industry needs to know whether the fish it catches are contaminated with toxins.
7. Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
(A) The seabirds that are killed by net fishing do not eat all of the species of fish caught by the fishing industry
(B) The government has not in the past sought to determine whether fish were contaminated with toxins by examining tissue samples of seabirds
[6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [NextPage] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]
(C) The government cannot gain an accurate count of the number of seabirds killed by net fishing unless the fishing industry cooperates
(D) If the government knew that fish caught by the fishing industry were contaminated by toxins, the government would restrict net fishing
(E) If net fishing were restricted by the government, then the fishing industry would become more inclined to reveal the number of seabirds killed by net fishing.
8. Which one of the following, if true, most strongly indicates that the government program would not by itself provide an accurate count of the seabirds killed by net fishing?
(A) The seabirds killed by net fishing might be contaminated with several different toxins even if the birds eat only one kind of fish
(B) The fishing industry could learn whether the fish it catches are contaminated with toxins if only a few of the seabirds killed by the nets were examined
(C) The government could gain valuable information about the source of toxins by examining tissue samples of the seabirds caught in the nets.
(D) The fish caught in a particular net might be contaminated with the same toxins as those in the seabirds caught in that net.
(E) The government would be willing to certify that the fish caught by the industry are not contaminated with toxins if tests done on the seabirds showed no contamination
9. Some people claim that elected officials must avoid even the appearance of impropriety in office. Yet since actions that give the appearance of impropriety are not necessarily improper, the only reason for an elected official to avoid the appearance of impropriety is to maintain publie approval and popularity. No one however, not even a publicc official, has an obligation to be popular or to maintain public approval.
The argument is structured so as to lead to which one of the following conclusions?
(A) No elected official has an obligation to avold the appearance of impropriety
(B) All elected officials have a vested interest in mainatining a high public approval rating.
(C) Elected official who have beeen scrupulous in satisfying the obligations of their office should ensure that the public is aware of this fact.
(D) The public never approves of an elected official who appears to have behaved improperly in office
(E) Elected officials who abuse the power of their office have an obligation at least to appear to be fulfilling the obligations of their office.
10. Cafereria patron The apples sold in this cafeteria are greasy. The cashier told me that the apples are in that condition when they are delivered to the cafeteria and that the cafeteria does not wash the apples it sells. Most fruit is sprayed with dangerous pesticides before it is harvested, and is dangerous until it is washed. Clearly, the cafeteria is selling pesticide-covered fruit thereby endangering its patrons.
Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
(A) The apples that the cafeteria sells are not thoroughly washed after harvest but before reaching the cafeteria
(B) Most pesticides that are sprayed on fruit before harvest leave a greasy residue on the fruit
(C) Many of the cafeteria s patrons are unaware that the cafeteria does not wash the apples it sells.
(D) Only pesticides that leave a greasy residue on fruit can be washed off
(E) Fruits other than apples also arrive at the cafeteria in a greasy condition
11. P: Because an elected official needs the support of a political party to be effective, the independent candidate for the legislature cannot possibly be an effective legislator if she wins.
