Lsat Set5-II-Q19; VI-Q6,Q21
Questions 18-19
Like a number of other articles, Ian Raghall’s article relied on a recent survey in which over half the couples applying for divorces listed “money” as a major problem in their marriages. Raghall’s conclusion from the survey data is that financial problems are the major problem in marriages and an important factor contributing to high divorce rate. Yet couples often express other types of marital frustrations in financial terms. Despite appearances, the survey data do not establish that financial problems are the major problem in contemporary marriages.
19. In the passage, the author does which one of the following?
(A) undermines a conclusion drawn from statistical data by offering a specific counterexample
(B) undermines a conclusion drawn from statistical data by offering an alternative explanation for some of the data.
(C) undermines a conclusion drawn from statistical data by showing that one cannot prove the presence of an emotion by using statistical methods.
(D) undermines a conclusion drawn from statistical data by criticizing the survey for which the data was gathered.
(E) undermines a conclusion by showing that couples cannot accurately describe their own problems.
这题我在B和E间犹豫，答案是B,我感觉E其实也可以啊，因为文中不是有提到说有一些couples often express other types of marital frustrations in financial terms吗？
6. When machines are invented and technologies are developed, they alter the range of choices open to us. The clock, for example, made possible the synchronization of human affairs, which resulted in an increase in productivity. At the same time that the clock opened up some avenues, it closed others. It has become harder and harder to live except by the clock, so that now people have no choice in the matter at all.
Which one of the following propositions is best illustrated by the example presented in the passage?
(A) New machines and technologies can enslave as well as liberate us.
(B) People should make a concerted effort to free themselves from the clock.
(C) Some new machines and technologies bring us improvement to our lives.
(D) The increase in productivity was not worth our dependence on the clock.
(E) Most new machines and technologies make our lives synchronized and productive.
答案是a,我想问的是选项里的liberate怎么理解呢？还有C为什么错？
21. Leona: If the average consumption of eggs in the United States were cut in half, an estimated 5,000 lives might be saved each year.
Thomas: How can that be? That would mean that if people adopt this single change in diet for ten years, the population ten years from now will be greater by 50,000 people than it otherwise would have been.
Which one of the following is a statement that Leona could offer Thomas to clarify her own claim and to address the point he has made?
(A) It is possible for the population to grow by 5,000 people for every year if the base year chosen for purposes of comparison is one with unusually low population growth.
(B) It is accurate to say that 5,000 lives have been saved as long as 5,000 people who would have died in a given year as a result of not changing their diet, did not do so–even if they died for some other reason.
(C) If egg consumption were reduced by more than half, the estimated number of lives saved each year could be even more than 5,000.
(D) The actual rate of population growth depends not only on the birth rate, but also on changes in life expectancy.
(E) For the average consumption of eggs to be cut by half, many individual consumers would have to cut their own consumption by much more than half.
答案是B。虽然我选对了，但还是一头雾水，不知道题目在讲什么的？
期望牛牛们的指教哦！
