1.During the recent spate of brushfires in the Southwest, homeowners who lived near affected areas were advised to douse their roofs with water to prevent their houses from catching fire, before evacuating the area. After the fires were brought under control and the homeowners were allowed to return to the area, many who doused their roofs discovered significant fire damage to their houses. Clearly, then, dousing their roofs was a wasted effort.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the conclusion above? A The houses of owners who did not douse the roofs with water suffered appreciably more fire damage than did those of owners who did douse the roofs with water. B Not all homeowners who doused their roofs did so to the same extent. C The fire insurance rates for those who doused their roofs did not increase after the fire. D The houses that suffered the least damage were those in which the owners remained and continuously doused the roofs. E Most of the homeowners who doused their roofs had been through a brushfire evacuation before.
2. For years, the debate over public education reform has centered on financing. Many claim that pouring more money into the public schools will improve student performance. However, the only way to fix our school systems is to inject new ideas and new approaches. Today the schools are organized to benefit their adult employees rather than the students. Which of the following, if true, best weakens the argument? A Schools that have instituted “new approaches” attract the best performing students. B Schools without outside playgrounds have lower levels of student performance than schools that do. C Studies show that student performance corresponded most directly with the education of the students’ families. D School employees, by an overwhelming margin, said that the system performed well, citing superior benefits than those available in comparable private institutions. E Researchers in education have shown that students from school districts with high per-capita spending tend to receive higher scores on standardized tests.
