1.The principal of School X has proposed a plan that would add an hour-long study period to the end of the school day. She claims that the extension would improve the school’s average score on the math section of the state assessment by allowing students more time to complete math homework that they wouldn’t otherwise have time to complete. Which of the following statements, if true, would most weaken the argument presented above? A Math teachers of students in School X have noted an overall decline in the number of homework assignments completed by students since the school eliminated midday study periods two years ago. B Administrators from neighboring School Y recently implemented a school day extension and have seen no significant improvement in student test scores on the state assessment. C Music department faculty members at School X strongly oppose the plan because they feel any time added to the school day should be used to bolster the music curriculum. D Parents of students from School X have expressed concern that the proposed schedule change would interfere with students’ extracurricular activities. E The core components of School X’s math curriculum are not aligned with the topics tested on the state math assessment.
2. The anticipated retirement of tens of thousands of baby boomers will create an unprecedented opportunity to move significant numbers of people into career-track jobs at family-supporting incomes. Major industries, from health care and construction to automotive repair, will soon face deep shortages of workers as a result of projected growth and boomer retirements. Fortunately, many of these jobs have relatively low barriers to entry and could be filled by out-of-work young people. To achieve this result, the city government should convene employers and educators to determine how best to create paths of upward mobility in these fields. Which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument? A Immigration reform will limit the pool of available workers. B Government efforts have been shown to affect employment trends only rarely. C The best available positions require skills not possessed by the vast majority of the unemployed. D A small proportion of baby boomers will not retire as soon as is anticipated. E Many out-of-work young people are unaware of these looming employment opportunities.
