TT9- Q3:
Scientists have made genetic modifications
to cotton to increase its resistance to insect pests. According to farmers’ reports, the amount of
insecticide needed per acre to control insect pests was only slightly lower for
those who tried the modified seed than for those who did not. Therefore, since the modified seed costs more
than ordinary seed without producing yields of higher market value, switching
to the modified seed would be unlikely to benefit most cotton farmers
economically.
Which of the following would it be most
useful to know in order to evaluate the argument?
- Whether farmers who tried the modified cotton seed had ever
tried growing other crops from genetically modified seed - Whether the insecticides typically used on ordinary cotton tend
to be more expensive than insecticides typically used on other crops - Whether for most farmers who grow cotton it is their primary
crop - Whether the farmers who have tried the modified seed planted as
many acres of cotton, on average, as farmers using the ordinary seed did - Whether most of the farmers who tried the modified seed did so
because they had previously had to use exceptionally large quantities of
insecticide
Q16:
In response to mounting pubic concern, an
airplane manufacturer implemented a program with the well-publicized goal of
reducing by half the total yearly amount of hazardous waste generated by its
passenger-jet division. When the program
began in 1994, the division’s hazardous waste output was 90 pounds per
production worker; last year it was 40 pounds per production worker. Clearly,
therefore, charges that the manufacturer’s program has not met its goal are
false.
Which of the following is an assumption on
which the argument depends?
- The amount of nonhazardous waste generated each year by the
passenger-jet division has not increased significantly since 1994. - At least as many passenger jets were produced by the division
last year as had been produced in 1994. - Since 1994, other divisions in the company have achieved
reductions in hazardous waste output that are at least equal to that
achieved in the passenger-jet division. - The average number of weekly hours per production worker in the
passenger-jet division was not significantly greater last year than it was
in 1994. - The number of production workers assigned to the passenger-jet
division was not significantly less in 1994 than it was last year.

Q29:
The emission of sulfur dioxide when
high-sulfur coal is burned is restricted by law. New coal-burning plants usually comply with
the law by installing expensive equipment to filter sulfur dioxide from their
emissions. These new plants could save
money by installing instead less expensive cleaning equipment that chemically
removes most sulfur from coal before combustion.
Which of the following, if known, would be
most relevant to evaluating the claim above about how new coal-burning plants
could save money?
- Whether existing oil-burning plants are required to filter
sulfur dioxide from their emissions - Whether the expense of installing the cleaning equipment in a
new plant is less than the expense of installing the cleaning equipment in
an older plant - Whether the process of cleaning the coal is more expensive than
the process of filtering the emissions - Whether lawful emissions of sulfur dioxide from coal-burning
plants are damaging the environment - Whether existing plants that use the filtering equipment could
replace this equipment with the cleaning equipment and still compete with
new plants that install the cleaning equipment

Q31:
In the sixteenth century, the push for
greater precision in measuring time was not, like more recently, motivated
by complicated philosophical questions about the nature of matter and the
universe, but the practical matters of navigation: sailors simply needed more highly accurate
timepieces in order to compute their longitude from the positions of the stars.
A.
not, like more recently,
motivated by complicated philosophical questions about the nature of matter and
the universe, but the practical matters of navigation
B.
being motivated by the
practical matters of navigation, instead of complicated philosophical questions
about the nature of matter and the universe, as it has been recently
C.
motivated not by complicated
philosophical questions about the nature of matter and the universe, like they
were more recently, but by the practical matters of navigation
D.
motivated by the practical
matters of navigation, not complicated philosophical questions about the nature
of matter and the universe, which was the case more recently
E.
motivated not by complicated
philosophical questions about the nature of matter and the universe, as has
been the case more recently, but by the practical matters of navigation
Q32:
A theory is either true or false. Galileo’s observations of Jupiter’s
satellites showed that the Ptolemaic theory of the motion of celestial bodies
is false. Therefore, since the
Copernican theory of planetary motion is inconsistent with the Ptolemaic account,
Galileo’s observations of Jupiter’s satellites proved the truth of the
Copernican theory.
The argument above is open to the objection
that it makes the questionable assumption that
- whoever first observed something inconsistent with the truth of
the Ptolemaic theory should be credited with having proved that theory
false - there are some possible observations that would be inconsistent
with the account given by the Copernican theory but consistent with the
account given by the Ptolemaic theory - the Ptolemaic and Copernican theories, being inconsistent,
cannot both be based on exactly the same evidence - numerous counterexamples were necessary in order to show the
 tolemaic theory to be false - the Ptolemaic and Copernican theories, being inconsistent,
cannot both be false
Q37:
Because mining and refining nickel is
costly, researchers have developed an alternative method for extracting nickel
using Streptanthus polygaloides, a plant that absorbs and stores nickel
form the soil as it grows. The
researchers incinerated a crop of Streptanthus they grew in nickel-rich
soil. By chemically extracting nickel
from the ash, they produced 100 pounds of nickel per acre of land at a total
cost per pound slightly above that of current mining.
Which of the following, if true, most
strongly supports the conclusion that the use of Streptanthus to extract
nickel will be commercially adopted?
- The season in which the researchers grew Streptanthus
was an unusually favorable one, with the right amount of precipitation to
maximize the growth rate of Streptanthus. - Because lowering the concentration of nickel in the soil can
make land much better for agriculture in general, a plot on which Streptanthus
has been grown and harvested can be sold for substantially more than it
cost. - More air pollution is generated for each pound of nickel
produced by extracting it from Streptanthus than is generated using
conventional mining and refining. - The land on which the researchers planted Streptanthus
was unusually free of the various weeds that can compete with Streptanthus
for water, nutrients, and sunlight. - It is extremely rare for soil to contain higher concentrations
of nickel than the concentrations present in the researchers’ experimental
plot.
Q40:
Boreal owls range over a much larger area
than do other owls of similar size. The
reason for this behavior is probably that the small mammals on which owls feed
are especially scarce in the forests where boreal owls live, and the relative
scarcity of prey requires the owls to range more extensively to find sufficient
food.
Which of the following, if true, most helps
to confirm the explanation above?
- Some boreal owls range over an area eight times larger than the
area over which any other owl of similar size ranges. - Boreal owls range over larger areas in regions where food of
the sort eaten by small mammals is sparse than they do in regions where
such food is abundant. - After their young hatch, boreal owls must hunt more often than
before in order to feed both themselves and their newly hatched young. - Sometimes individual boreal owls hunt near a single location
for many weeks at a time and do not range farther than a few hundred
yards. - The boreal owl requires less food, relative to its weight, than
is required by members of other owl species.
