1. Last year, farmers who sold their corn early come to regret it as rising demand pushed corn prices higher later in the year. This year, farmers are experiencing record harvest, but demand for corn is expected to continue to rise, which suggests that prices will rise again this year. Nevertheless, most farmers are already seeking to sell large quantities of corn.
Which of the following, if true, provides the best explanation for the farmers’ position?
A. While this year’s record harvest was unexpected, next years’ harvest is predicted to equal or surpass it.
B. Consumption of corn-based products has increased over the past decade and is likely to continue to do so
C. Corn stored in poorly produced facilities is likely to spoil or crack, rendering it useless for many applications.
D. Most farmers do not have sufficient storage capacity available to them for the record amounts of corn from this year’s harvest.
E. Many manufacturers of corn-based products want to buy corn directly from nearby farmers to guarantee necessary quality.


2.Digitizing academic journals has enabled scholars to find academic articles more easily; most that have been published in the last 50 years are now available online. In the past, scholars would often stumble accidentally upon obscure, yet relevant, research. But digitization is likely to lead to citations drawn from a narrower range of research, since search engines rank highly cited articles first, and__________.
Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
A. obscure articles become so because they are less relevant than other articles to most scholars' work
B. scholars have historically tended to rely in their own work on frequently cited articles
C. the general scholarly consensus about articles is reflected in the frequency with which they are cited
D. most scholars do not look beyond the first few search results to find additional relevant research
E. most scholars use the same search engines that nonacademics use when performing online searches
