Q35 to Q37: Citing the fact that the real gross domestic product (GDP) per capita was higher in 1997 than ever before, some Line journalists have argued that the United (5) States economy performed ideally in 1997. However, the real GDP is almost always higher than ever before; it falls only during recessions. One point these journalists overlooked is that in (10) 1997, as in the twenty-four years imme- diately preceding it, the real GDP per capita grew nearly one-half percent a year more slowly than it had on aver- age between 1873 and 1973. Were the (15) 1997 economy as robust as claimed, the growth rate of real GDP per capita in 1997 would have surpassed the average growth rate of real GDP per capita between 1873 and 1973 because (20) over fifty percent of the population worked for wages in 1997 whereas only forty percent worked for wages between 1873 and 1973. If the growth rate of labor productivity (output per (25) hour of goods and services) in 1997 had equaled its average growth rate between 1873 and 1973 of more than two percent, then, given the proportion- ately larger workforce that existed in (30) 1997, real GDP per capita in 1997 would have been higher than it actually was, since output is a major factor in GDP. However, because labor productivity grew by only one percent in 1997, real (35) GDP per capita grew more slowly in 1997 than it had on average between 1873 and 1973. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q35: The passage is primarily concerned with - comparing various measures used to assess the performance of the United States economy in 1997
- providing evidence that the performance of the United States economy in 1997 was similar to its performance between 1873 and 1973
- evaluating an argument concerning the performance of the United States economy in1997
- examining the consequences of a popular misconception about the performance of the United States economy in 1997
- supporting an assertion made by journalists about the performance of the United States economy in 1997
Answer: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q36: According to the passage, which of the following is true of the average rate at which real GDP per capita grew in the twenty-four years immediately before 1997? - It was less than it had been between 1873 and 1973 because only forty percent of the population worked for wages between 1873 and 1973.
- It was less than it had been between 1873 and 1973 because labor productivity grew less between 1973 and 1997 than it had between 1873 and 1973.
- It was less than it had been between 1873 and 1973 as a result of an increase in the percentage of the population earning wages during these years.
- It was less than the average rate at which real GDP per capita grew between 1873 and 1973.
- It was less than the rate at which real GDP per capita grew in 1997.
Answer: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q37: It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following is the reason that the author faults the journalists referred to in line 4?
- They believe that the real GDP per capita in 1997 was higher than the real GDP per capita had ever been before.
- They argue that the rate at which real GDP per capita grew in 1997 was faster than the average rate at which it had grown between 1873 and 1973.
- They overestimate the effect of labor productivity on the real GDP per capita in 1997.
- They overestimate the amount by which real GDP per capita in 1997 surpassed real GDP per capita in earlier years.
- They fail to consider the real GDP per capita in 1997 within an appropriate historical context.
