Question 2
Six weekends each year, Alpha Showgrounds are used exclusively for public horse shows. During all other weekends, the grounds are used exclusively as a public market. For its revenues, Alpha depends entirely on admission fees, and revenue from a typcial weekend horse show is far greater than from a typical weekend market. However, Alpha抯 annual revenues from the market far exceed its annual revenues from horse shows.
Which of the following strategies, if implemented, would likely provide the greatest boost to Alpha抯 revenues?
(A) Increase the fee for admission to the public market, but leave the admission fees for horse shows unchanged.
(B) Increase the fees for admission to the horse shows, but leave the admission fee for the public market unchanged.
(C) Discontinue use of the grounds for horse shows, and schedule the public market for each and every weekend of the year.
(D) Schedule some horse shows for weekdays instead of weekends; and during those weekends, use the grounds as a public market instead.
(E) Schedule some weekend markets for weekdays instead of weekends; and during those weekends, use the grounds for horse shows instead.

Question 4
In 1998, more citizens from the country of Monrovia migrated from Monrovia to neighboring Abstania than during any prior year. In 1998, the number of reported violent crimes in Abstania increased dramatically over 1997. The unavoidable conclusion is that Monrovians who migrated from Monrovia to Abstania were responsible for this increase.
Which of the following statements, if true, would most seriously weaken the claim that Monrovians were responsible for the increase in violent crime in Abstania during 1998?
(A) Each year more violent criminals are apprehended in Abstania than in Monrovia.
(B) During 1998 more violent crimes were reported in Abstania than in Monrovia.
(C) In 1998 no Monrovians migrated from either Monrovia or Abstania to any country other than Monrovia or Abstania.
(D) In 1998 the number of unreported violent crimes in Abstania increased as well.
(E) In 1998 fewer Monrovians migrated from Monrovia to Abstania than from Abstania to Monrovia.
Question 5
During each of the past five years, the total demand for paper on the part of manufacturers who produce paper packaging for consumer products has declined. During the same time period, the cubic volume of freshly cut timber that is used to produce paper packaging has also declined. However, reliable reports from recycling facilities across the country indicate that the amount of paper-based packaging material that they provide to paper-packaging companies for reuse has been increasing steadily.
The information provided best supports which of the following conclusions with respect to the last five years?
(A) The amount of packaging using paper from freshly cut trees has decreased.
(B) The amount of paper-based packaging that has been recycled for the same uses has exceeded the amount that has not.
(C) Recycled paper-based packaging has been used only for new packaging.
(D) The total amount of packaging material made of non-paper materials has increased.
(E) Consumers have increased the portion of paper products that they recycle after using.
Question 6
As any economist knows, healthy people pose less of an economic burden to society than unhealthy people. Not surprisingly, then, every dollar our state government spends on prenatal care for undocumented immigrants will save taxpayers of this state three dollars.
Which of the following, if true, would best explain why the statistics cited above are not surprising?
(A) The state's taxpayers pay for prenatal care of all immigrants.
(B) regnant women who do not receive prenatal care are more likely to experience health problems than other pregnant women.
(C) State benefits for prenatal care serve to promote undocumented immigration.
(D) Babies whose mothers did not receive prenatal care are just as healthy as other babies.
(E) Babies born in this state to undocumented immigrant parents are entitled to infant care benefits from the state.
Question 7
Beautiful beaches attract people, no doubt about it. Just look at this city's beautiful beaches, which are among the most overcrowded beaches in the state.
Which of the following exhibits a pattern of reasoning most similar to the one exhibited in the argument above?
(A) Moose and bear usually appear at the same drinking hole at the same time of day. Therefore, moose and bear must grow thirsty at about the same time.
(B) Children who are scolded severely tend to misbehave more often than other children. Hence if a child is not scolded severely that child is less likely to misbehave.
(C) This computer program helps increase the work efficiency of its users. As a result, these users have more free time for other activities.
(D) During warm weather my dog suffers from fleas more so than during cooler weather. Therefore, fleas must thrive in a warm environment.
(E) esticides are known to cause anemia in some people. However, most anemic people live in regions where pesticides are not commonly used.
Question 8
For several consecutive years, poultry prices at each of three statewide grocery-store chains have exceeded the national average by about fifty percent. Also, the per-pound difference in poultry prices among the three stores never amounted to more than a few pennies, while among grocery stores in other states, the prices varied by nearly a dollar over the same period. The three chains must have conspired to not compete amongst themselves and to fix their poultry prices at mutually agreed-upon levels.
The claim that the three grocery-store chains conspired to fix poultry prices rests on which of the following assumptions for the time period referred to above?
(A) No other grocery store charged higher prices for poultry than the three chains.
(B) Average poultry prices in the state where the three chains operate exceeded the national average.
(C) The price that grocery stores paid for poultry did not vary significantly from state to state.
(D) Consumers in the state where the three chains operate generally prefer poultry over other meats even if poultry is more expensive than other meats.
(E) Other grocery stores operating in the same state as the three chains also sell poultry to consumers.
Question 9
Newspaper publishers earn their profits primarily from advertising revenue, and potential advertisers are more likely to advertise in newspapers with a wide circulation梐 large number of subscribers and other readers梩han with other newspapers. But the circulation of the newspaper that is currently the most profitable one in this city has steadily declined during the last two years, while the circulation of one of its competitors has steadily increased.
Any of the following, if true, would help explain the apparent discrepancy between the two statements above EXCEPT:
(A) Advertisers generally switch from the most widely circulated newspaper to another one only when the other one becomes the most widely circulated newspaper instead.
(B) Advertising rates charged by the most profitable newspaper in the city are significantly higher than those charged by its competitors.
(C) The most profitable newspaper in the city receives revenue from its subscribers as well from advertisers.

(E) The number of newspapers competing viably with the most profitable newspaper in the city has increased during the last two years.
