1. In January of last year the Moviemania chain of movie theaters started propping its popcorn in canola oil, instead of the less healthful coconut oil that it had been using until then. Now Moviemania is planning to switch back, saying that the change has hurt popcorn sales. That claim is false, however, since according to Moviemania’s own sales figures, Moviemania sold 5 percent more popcorn last year than in the previous year.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument against Moviemania’s claim? --GWD3-14
Key: Total sales of all refreshments at Moviemania’s movie theaters increased by less than 5 percent last year.
Twenty percent of the stores in Morganville's downtown shopping district will fail within five years because they will be competing directly with the SaveMart discount department store newly opened in East Morganville. The downtown shopping district has lost business at this rate before and has always completely rebounded. Confidence that it will rebound again from the losses it is now about to suffer is ill founded, however, because __________.
A. the stores likely to be put out of business by direct competition from SaveMart are the downtown shopping district's anchor stores , on whose ability to draw shoppers many of the other downtown stores depend Columnist: A democratic society cannot exist unless its citizens have established strong bonds of mutual trust. Such bonds are formed and strengthened only by participation in civic organizations, political parties, and other groups outside the family. It is obvious then that widespread reliance on movies and electronic media for entertainment has an inherently corrosive effect on democracy.
预测：以下可以WEAKEN 作者观点的 电子娱乐建立起来的并不是信任 Which one of the following is an assumption on which the columnist’s argument depends? --LSAT Key: Relying on movies and electronic media for entertainment generally makes people less likely to participate in groups outside their families.
Medical researcher: As expected, records covering the last four years of ten major hospitals indicate that babies born prematurely were more likely to have low birth weights and to suffer from health problems than were babies not born prematurely. These records also indicate that mothers who had received adequate prenatal care were less likely to have low birth weight babies than were mothers who had received inadequate prenatal care. Adequate prenatal care, therefore, significantly decreases the risk of low birth weight babies.
Mothers giving birth prematurely are routinely classified by hospitals as having received inadequate prenatal care when the record of that care is not available.
因为care不足，那些生了不足月的宝宝的妈妈会被专门分类出来，但是她们之前的care 的记录通常是not available 的，或者说就是说明记录是不可靠的；将Medical 学者得出结论的证据否定掉，就可以起到否定结论的作用啦
Unlike newspapers in the old days, today’s newspapers and televised news programs are full of stories about murders and assaults in our city. One can only conclude from this change that violent crime is now out of control, and, to be safe from personal attack, one should not leave one’s home except for absolute necessities.
因为现在报纸上有关谋杀等负面内容的东西的增加，所以现在比原来的治安差，最好不要出门。 weaken Which one of the following, if true, would cast the most serious doubt on the conclusion? --LSAT Key: Newspapers and televised news programs have more comprehensive coverage (更加透彻、深入的报道。)of violent crime than newspapers did in the old days.
