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.
