1. The people of Prohibitionland are considering banning the service of alcoholic beverages in restaurants to curb unruly behavior on the part of its residents. Proprietors of restaurants in Prohibitionland are protesting the ban on the grounds that it will reduce their revenues and profits. However, several provinces in Prohibitionland enacted restrictions on alcoholic beverages last year, and the sales taxes paid by the restaurants in those provinces rose by an average of 50 percent. In contrast, the sales taxes paid by restaurants located in areas of Prohibitionland that did not have any restrictions rose by an average of 30 percent. Which of the following, if true, supports the restaurant proprietors’ economic stance against the ban? A In the provinces that restricted alcoholic beverages, there was a short-term negative impact on restaurant visitationAin the beginning of last year. B The sales tax in Prohibitionland is lower on food and beverages than it is on other consumer goods, such as clothing. C The consumption of alcoholic beverages in Prohibitionland has been on a gradual decline the last 20 years. D The restrictions on alcoholic beverages enacted last year allowed for the service of drinks beginning around dinnertime each evening. E Overall sales tax revenue did not increase at a substantially higher rate in the provinces that enacted the restrictions on alcoholic beverages than in the rest of Prohibitionland last year.
2. Recently, some critics of the U.S. government have pointed out that this country is the only advanced industrialized nation without a national vaccine laboratory and suggested that this lack makes the American public more vulnerable than other developed nations to infectious diseases, such as avian flu. A government official said these critics were disloyal and thus wrong about the public’s vulnerability. To support his claim, the official cited the generally long life span and low infant mortality of United States citizens, relative to all United Nation member nations. Mentioning the high quality of American hospitals, he added that all of the Europeans that he knew preferred to undergo major medical treatments in the United States rather than in the socialized medical systems in place in their home countries. All of the following are weaknesses or potential weaknesses in the official’s argument EXCEPT: A The high quality of hospitals in the United States is not a factor affecting the public’s vulnerability to infectious disease. B Whether or not the critics are disloyal has no bearing on whether or not they are wrong. C The Europeans that the official cited are a demographically narrow sample, overwhelmingly composed of wealthy males over the age of fifty. D The average life span of United States citizens is determined not only by deaths due to infectious diseases but also by deaths due to all other causes. E Comparing the United States to all United Nations member nations does not address the concern that the U.S. is behind other advanced industrialized nations in a particular way.
