10. In order to pressure the government of Country S to become less repressive, some legislators in Country R want to ban all exports from R to S. Companies in R that manufacture telecommunication equipment such as telephones and fax machines have argued that exports of their products should be exempted from the ban, on the ground that it is impossible for a country to remain repressive when telecommunication equipment is widely available to the population of that country.

Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument given by the manufacturers depends?

(A) The government of S has recently increased the amount of telecommunication equipment it allows to be imported into the country.

(B) The telecommunication equipment that would be imported into S if the exemption were to be granted would not be available solely to top development officials in S.

(C) A majority of the members of R’s legislature do not favor exempting telecommunication equipment from the ban on exports to Country S.

(D) Of all exports that could be sent to Country S, telecommunication equipment would be the most effective in helping citizens of S oppose that country’s repressive government.

(E) Without pressure from Country R, the government of S would be able to continue repressing its citizens indefinitely.

16. The axis of Earth’s daily rotation is tilted with respect to the plane of its orbit at an angle of roughly 23 degrees. That angle can be kept fairly stable only by the gravitational influence of Earth’s large, nearby Moon. Without such a stable and moderate axis tilt, a planet’s climate is too extreme and unstable to support life. Mars, for example, has only very small moons, tilts at wildly fluctuating angles, and cannot support life.

If the statements above are true, which one of the following must also be true on the basis of them?

(A) If Mars had a sufficiently large nearby moon, Mars would be able to support life.

(B) If Earth’s Moon were to leave Earth’s orbit, Earth’s climate would be unable to support life.

(C) Any planet with a stable, moderate axis tilt can support life.

(D) Gravitational influences other than moons have little or no effect on the magnitude of the tilt angle of either Earth’s or Mars’s axis.

(E) No planet that has more than one moon can support life.

 

17. Psychologist: Some astrologers claim that our horoscopes completely determine our personalities, but this claim is false, I concede that identical twins---who are, of course, born at practically the same time---often do have similar personalities. However, birth records were examined to find two individuals who were born 40 years ago on the same day and at exactly the same time---one in a hospital in Toronto and one in a hospital in New York. Personalities of these two individuals are in fact different.

Which one of the following is an assumption on which the psychologist’s argument depends?

(A) Astrologers have not subjected their claims to rigorous experimentation.

(B) The personality differences between the two individuals cannot be explained by the cultural difference between Toronto and New York.

(C) The geographical difference between Toronto and New York did not result in the two individuals having different horoscopes.

(D) Complete birth records for the past 40 years were kept at both hospitals.

(E) Identical twins have identical genetic structures and usually have similar home environments.

19.  Jane: Television programs and movies that depict violence among teenagers are extremely popular. Given how influential these media are, we have good reason to believe that these depictions cause young people to engage in violent behavior. Hence, depictions of violence among teenagers should be prohibited from movies and television programs, if only in those programs and movies promoted to young audiences.

Maurice: But you are recommending nothing short of censorship! Besides which, your claim that television and movie depictions of violence cause violence is mistaken: violence among young people predates movies and television by centuries.

Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens Jane’s argument?

(A) The most violent characters depicted in movies and on television programs are adult characters who are portrayed by adult actors.

(B) The movies that have been shown to have the most influence on young people’s behavior are those that are promoted to young audiences.

(C) The people who make the most profits in the movie and television industry are those who can successfully promote their work to both young and old audiences.

(D) Many adolescents who engage in violent behavior had already displayed such behavior before they were exposed violence in movies.

(E) Among the producers who make both movies and television programs, many voluntarily restrict the subject matter of films directed toward young audiences.

Here are my answers, I am not sure whether they can match yours:

10) D

16) B

17) C

19) B

Next time when you ask questions, make it one question each time. Otherwise people are so tired to do 4 long questions at one time.

B, B, C, B

10. (B) The telecommunication equipment that would be imported into S if the exemption were to be granted would not be available solely to top development officials in S.

If not, even tele equipment exported, no political benefits that comanies argued will gain.

16. That angle can be kept fairly stable only by the gravitational influence of Earth’s large, nearby Moon

17. our horoscopes completely determine our personalities

The geographical difference between Toronto and New York did not result in the two individuals having different horoscopes.

Without this assumption, the psychologist will not give that example in an attempt to explain the difference.

19. The line of reasoning that Jane argued is that the violent movie is the cause of the adolescent criminal.

B, the best answer, justifies the causal effect that movie does has violent intentions direct to yound audience.

Indeed, after reading it again, B is the answer. I missed the bold-faced words.

on the ground that it is impossible for a country to remain repressive when telecommunication equipment is widely available to the population of that country.

Good job! Hawkinsxie. Seems to me that you are studying full time and responding to questions all the time. CD needs people like you.

By the way, when are you going to take the test?

hawkinsxie

Hi, in 10 days, I am on holiday till my test.

good luck!
