31: GWD-29-Q16

Political Advertisement:

Mayor Delmont’s critics complain about the jobs that were lost in the city under Delmont’s leadership.  Yet the fact is that not only were more jobs created than were eliminated, but each year since Delmont took office the average pay for the new jobs created has been higher than that year’s average pay for jobs citywide.  So it stands to reason that throughout Delmont’s tenure the average paycheck in this city has been getting steadily bigger.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument in the advertisement?

1. The unemployment rate in the city is higher today than it was when Mayor Delmont took office.

2. The average pay for jobs in the city was at a ten-year low when Mayor Delmont took office.

3. Each year during Mayor Delmont’s tenure, the average pay for jobs that were eliminated has been higher than the average pay for jobs citywide.

4. Most of the jobs eliminated during Mayor Delmont’s tenure were in declining industries.

5. The average pay for jobs in the city is currently lower than it is for jobs in the suburbs surrounding the city

Mayor Delmont’s critics complain about the jobs that were lost in the city under Delmont’s leadership.  Yet the fact is that not only were more jobs created than were eliminated, but the average pay for these new jobs has been higher than the average pay for jobs citywide every year since Delmont took office.  So there can be no question that throughout Delmont’s tenure the average paycheck in this city has been getting steadily bigger.

 

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument in the advertisement?

 

1. The average pay for jobs created in the city during the past three years was higher than the average pay for jobs created in the city earlier in Mayor Delmont’s tenure.

2. Average pay in the city was at a ten-year low when Mayor Delmont took office.

3. Some of the jobs created in the city during Mayor Delmont’s tenure have in the meantime been eliminated again.

4. The average pay for jobs eliminated in the city during Mayor Delmont’s tenure has been roughly equal every year to the average pay for jobs citywide.

5. The average pay for jobs in the city is currently higher than it is for jobs in the suburbs surrounding the city.

C Q37: GWD-29-Q17

The total market value of real estate in Altonville has steadily declined over the past four years.  This decline has meant that the overall figure on which the city’s property tax is based—the assessed value of that real estate—has also declined.  The percentage of assessed value that was paid as property taxes to the city, however, did not change from year to year during this period.

The information above most strongly supports which of the following?

1. The percentage of Altonville’s yearly revenue that comes from money collected in property taxes did not change over the past four years.

2. The percentage of Altonville’s yearly revenue that comes from money collected in property taxes has declined steadily over the past four years.

3. The amount of revenue that Altonville collected from property taxes was lower last year than it was four years ago.

4. During the past four years, Altonville officials increased tax rates on other sources of revenue such as retail sales and business profits.

5. Altonville will soon require property owners to pay a higher percentage of the assessed value of their property as property tax.Compare with an old edition of this question listed below.  There are many tiny changes in the main body of the question and its answer choices.
