Excavations of the Roman city of Sepphoris have uncovered numerous detailed mosaics depicting several readily identifiable animal species:  a hare, a partridge, and various Mediterranean fish.  Oddly, most of the species represented did not live in the Sepphoris region when these mosaics were created.  Since identical motifs appear in mosaics found in other Roman cities, however, the mosaics of Sepphoris were very likely created by traveling artisans from some other part of the Roman Empire.

 

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

 

1. The Sepphoris mosaics are not composed exclusively of types of stones found naturally in the Sepphoris area.

2. There is no single region to which all the species depicted in the Sepphoris mosaics are native.

3. No motifs appear in the Sepphoris mosaics that do not also appear in the mosaics of some other Roman city.

4. All of the animal figures in the Sepphoris mosaics are readily identifiable as representations of known species.

5. There was not a common repertory of mosaic designs with which artisans who lived in various parts of the Roman Empire were familiar.

Press Secretary:  Our critics claim that the President’s recent highway project cancellations demonstrate a vindictive desire to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.  They offer as evidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were in such districts.  But all of the canceled projects had been identified as wasteful in a report written by respected nonpartisan auditors.  So the President’s choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, not partisan politics.

 

Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary’s argument depends?

 

1. Canceling highway projects was not the only way for the President to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties.

2. The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.

3. The number of projects canceled was a significant proportion of all the highway projects that were to be undertaken by the government in the near future.

4. The highway projects canceled in districts controlled by the President’s party were not generally more expensive than the projects canceled in districts controlled by opposition parties.

5. Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generally regarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments of government projects.

8: GWD-23-Q40

Political advocacy groups have begun to use information services to disseminate information that is then accessed by the public via personal computer.  Since many groups are thus able to bypass traditional news sources, whose reporting is selective, and to present their political views directly to the public, information services present a more balanced picture of the complexities of political issues than any traditional news source presents.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument above depends?

A.      Information services are accessible to enough people to ensure that political advocacy groups can use these services to reach as large a percentage of the public as they could through traditional news sources.

B.      People could get a thorough understanding of a particular political issue by sorting through information provided by several traditional news sources, each with differing editorial biases.

C.      Information on political issues disseminated through information services does not come almost entirely from advocacy groups that share a single bias.

D.      Traditional news sources seldom report the views of political advocacy groups accurately.

E.       Most people who get information on political issues from newspapers and other traditional news sources can readily identify the editorial biases of those sources.
