Question 10:

Environmentalist:            The use of snowmobiles in the vast park north of Milville creates

unacceptable levels of air pollution and should be banned.

Milville business spokesperson:    Snowmobiling brings many out-of-towners to

Milville in winter months, to the great financial benefit of many local residents.  So,

economics dictate that we put up with the pollution.

Environmentalist:            I disagree:  A great many cross-country skiers are now kept

from visiting Milville by the noise and pollution that snowmobiles generate.

Environmentalist responds to the business spokesperson by doing which of the following?

A.       Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome can derive from only

one set of circumstances

B.        Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome is outweighed by negative

aspects associated with producing that outcome

C.       Maintaining that the benefit that the spokesperson desires could be achieved

in greater degree by a different means

D.     Claiming that the spokesperson is deliberately misrepresenting the environmentalist’s

position in order to be better able to attack it

E.      Denying that an effect that the spokesperson presents as having benefited a certain

group of people actually benefited those people

Question 11:

Many people suffer an allergic reaction to certain sulfites, including those that are

commonly added to wine as preservatives.  However, since there are several wine

makers who add sulfites to none of the wines they produce, people who would like to

drink wine but are allergic to sulfites can drink wines produced by these wine makers

without risking an allergic reaction to sulfites.  Which of the following is an assumption

on which the argument depends?

A.      These wine makers have been able to duplicate the preservative effect produced

by adding sulfites by means that do not involve adding any potentially allergenic

substances to their wine.

B.      Not all forms of sulfite are equally likely to produce the allergic reactions.

C.      Wine is the only beverage to which sulfites are commonly added.

D.     Apart from sulfites, there are no substances commonly present in wine that give

rise to an allergic reaction.

E.      Sulfites are not naturally present in the wines produced by these wine makers in

amounts large enough to produce an allergic reaction in someone who drinks these wines.

Question 12:

Which of the following most logically completes the passage?

Concerned about financial well-being of its elderly citizens, the government of Runagia

decided two years ago to increase by 20 percent the government-provided pension

paid to all Runagians over 65.  Inflation in the intervening period has been negligible,

and the increase has been duly received by all eligible Runagians.  Nevertheless,

many of them are no better off financially than they were before the increase, in large

part because ________.

A.        They rely entirely on the government pension for their income

B.        Runagian banks are so inefficient that it can take up to three weeks to cash a

pension check

C.        They buy goods whose prices tend to rise especially fast in times of inflation

D.       The pension was increased when the number of elderly Runagians below the

poverty level reached an all-time high

E.        In Runagia children typically supplement the income of elderly parents, but

only by enough to provide them with a comfortable living

Question 18:

Last year all refuse collected by Shelbyville city services was incinerated.  This

incineration generated a large quantity of residue ash.  In order to reduce the amount

of residue ash Shelbyville generates this year to half of last year’s total, the city has

revamped its collection program.  This year city services will separate for recycling

enough refuse to reduce the number of truckloads of refuse to be incinerated to half

of last year’s number.  

Which of the following is required for the revamped collection program to achieve its aim?

A.        This year, no materials that city services could separate for recycling will be incinerated.

B.        Separating recyclable materials from materials to be incinerated will cost Shelbyville

less than half what it cost last year to dispose of the residue ash.

C.        Refuse collected by city services will contain a larger proportion of recyclable

materials this year than it did last year.

D.       The refuse incinerated this year will generate no more residue ash per truckload

incinerated than did the refuse incinerated last year.

E.        The total quantity of refuse collected by Shelbyville city services this year will be

no greater than that collected last year.
