Which of the following, if true, gives the most support to the recommendation above? (A) The accepted treatment for pironoma does not have damaging side effects. (B) The laboratory test that has the lowest proportion of false positive results causes the same minor side effects as do the other laboratory tests used to detect pironoma. (C) In treating pironoma patients, it is essential to begin treatment as early as possible, since even a week of delay can result in loss of life. (D) The proportion of inconclusive test results is equal for all laboratory tests used to detect pironoma. All laboratory tests to detect pironoma have the same proportion of false negative results.
Questions 114-115 are based on the following: 114. According to the Trite Transportation Authority, making certain improvements to the main commuter rail line would increase ridership dramatically. The authority plans to finance these improvements over the course of five years by raising automobile tolls on the two highway bridges along the route the rail line serves. Although the proposed improvements are indeed needed, the authority's plan for securing the necessary funds should be rejected because it would unfairly force drivers to absorb the entire cost of something from which they receive no benefit. Which of the following, if true, would cast the most doubt on the effectiveness of the authority's plan to finance the proposed improvements by increasing bridge tolls? Before the authority increases tolls on any of the area bridges, it is required by law to hold public hearings at which objections to the proposed increase can be raised. Whenever bridge tolls are increased, the authority must pay a private contractor to adjust the automated toll-collecting machines. Between the time a proposed toll increase is announced and the time the increase is actually put into effect, many commuters buy more tokens than usual to postpone the effects of the increase. When tolls were last increased on the two bridges in question, almost 20 percent of the regular commuter traffic switched to a slightly longer alternative route that has since been improved. The chairman of the authority is a member of the Tristate Automobile Club, which has registered strong opposition to the proposed toll increase. 115. Which of the following, if true, would provide the authority with the strongest counter to the objection that its plan is unfair? Even with the proposed toll increase, the average bridge toll in the tristate region would remain less than the tolls charged in neighboring states. Any attempt to finance the improvements by raising rail fares would result in a decrease in ridership and so would be self-defeating. Automobile commuters benefit from well-maintained bridges, and in the tristate region bridge maintenance is funded out of general income tax revenues to which both automobile and rail commuters contribute. The roads along the route served by the rail line are highly congested and drivers benefit when commuters are diverted from congested roadways to mass transit. The only alternative way of funding the proposed improvements now being considered is through a regional income tax surcharge, which would affect automobile commuters and rail commuters alike. Evaluation of a Plan 117. Caterpillars of all species produce an identical hormone called "juvenile hormone" that maintains feeding behavior. Only when a caterpillar has grown to the right size for pupation to take place does a special enzyme halt the production of juvenile hormone. This enzyme can be synthesized and will, on being ingested by immature caterpillars, kill them by stopping them from feeding. Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the view that it would NOT be advisable to try to eradicate agricultural pests that go through a caterpillar stage by spraying croplands with the enryme mentioned above? - (A) Many agricultural pests do not go through a caterpillar stage. (B) Many agriculturally beneficial insects go through a caterpillar stage. (C) Since caterpillars of different species emerge at different times, several sprayings would be necessary. (D) Although the enryme has been synthesized in the laboratory, no large-scale production facilities exist as yet. Argument Evaluation "juvenile hormone：
