116. The average hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland has long been
significantly lower than that in neighboring Borodia. Since Borodia dropped all
tariffs on Vernlandian televisions three years ago, the number of televisions sold
annually in Borodia has not changed. However, recent statistics show a drop in the
number of television assemblers in Borodia. Therefore, updated trade statistics will
probably indicate that the number of televisions Borodia imports annually from
Vernland has increased.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
(A) The number of television assemblers in Vernland has increased by at
least as much as the number of television assemblers in Borodia has
decreased.
(B) Televisions assembled in Vernland have features that televisions
assembled in Borodia do not have.
(C) The average number of hours it takes a Borodian television assembler to
assemble a television has not decreased significantly during the past three
years.
(D) The number of televisions assembled annually in Vernland has
increased significantly during the past three years.
(E) The difference between the hourly wage of television assemblers in
Vernland and the hourly wage of television assemblers in Borodia is likely to
decrease in the next few years.
117. Guidebook writer: I have visited hotels throughout the country and have noticed
that in those built before 1930 the quality of the original carpentry work is
generally superior to that in hotels built afterward. Clearly carpenters working on
hotels before 1930 typically worked with more skill, care, and effort than
carpenters who have worked on hotels built subsequently.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the guidebook writer’s
argument?
(A) The quality of original carpentry in hotels is generally far superior to the
quality of original carpentry in other structures, such as houses and stores.
(B) Hotels built since 1930 can generally accommodate more guests than
those built before 1930.
(C) The materials available to carpenters working before 1930 were not
significantly different in quality from the materials available to carpenters
working after 1930.
(D) The better the quality of original carpentry in a building, the less likely
that building is to fall into disuse and be demolished.
(E) The average length of apprenticeship for carpenters has declined
significantly since 1930. |
