  25 Questions

  Directions: The questions in this section are based on the reasoning contained in brief statements or passages. For some questions, more than one of the choices could conceivably answer the question. However, you are to choose the best answer, that is, the response that most accurately1 and completely answers the question. You should not make assumptions that are by commonsense2 standards implausible, superfluous3, or incompatible4 with the Passage After you have chosen the best answer, blacken the corresponding space on your answer sheet

  1. With the passage of the new tax reform law, the annual tax burden on low-income taxpayers5 will be reduced, on average, by anywhere from $100 to $300. Clearly, tax reform is in the interest of low-income taxpayers.

  Which one of the following, if true, most undermines the conclusion above?

  (A) Tax reform, by simplifying the tax code will save many people the expense of having an accountant do their taxes.

  (B) Tax reform, by eliminating tax incentives6 to build rental7 housing, will push up rents an average of about $40 per month for low-income taxpayers.

  (C) Low-income taxpayers have consistently voted for those political candidates who are strong advocates of tax reform.

  (D) The new tax reform laws will permit low and middle-income taxpayers to deduct8 Child-care expenses from their taxes.

  2. If we are to expand the exploration of our solar system. Our next manned flight should be to Phobos one of Mars's moons, rather than to Mars itself. The flight times to each are the same, But the Phobos expedition would require less than half the fuel load of a Mars expedition and would, therefore, be much less costly9. So, it is clear that Phobos should be our next step in Space exploration.

  Which one of the following, if true, would most help to explain the difference in fuel requirement?

  (A) More equipment would be required to explore Phobos than to explore Mars.

  (B) Smaller spaceships require less fuel than larger spaceships.

  (C) Information learned during the trip to Phobos can be used during a subsequent trip to Mars.

  (D) The shortest distance between Phobos and Mars is less than half the shortest distance Between Earth and Mars.

  (E) Lift-off for the return trip from Phobos requires much less fuel than that from Mars because of Phobos weaker gravitational pull.

  3. Scientific research that involves international collaboration10 has produced papers of greater influence. As measured by the number of times a paper is cited in subsequent papers, than has research without any collaboration. Papers that result from international collaboration are cited an average of seven times, whereas papers with single authors are cited only three times on average This difference shows that research projects conducted by international research teams are of greater importance than those conducted by single researchers.

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

  (A) Prolific11 writers can inflate12 the number of citations13 they receive by citing themselves in Subsequent papers.

  (B) It is possible to ascertain14 whether or not a paper is the product of international Collaboration by determining the number of citations it has received

  (C) The number of citations a paper receives is a measure of the importance of the Research it reports.

  Researchers.

  4. It is more desirable to have some form of socialized medicine than s system of medical care relying on the private sector15. Socialized medicine is more broadly accessible than is private-sector system. In addition, since countries with socialized medicine have a lower infant morality rate than do countries with a system relying entirely16 on the private sector, socialized medicine seems to be technologically18 superior.

  Which one of the following best indicates a flaw in the argument about the technological17 superiority of socialized medicine?

  (A) The lower infant mortality rate might be due to the systems allowing greater access to

  Medical care

  (B) There is no necessary connection between the economic system of socialism and Technological achievement.

  (C) Infant mortality is a reliable indicator19 of the quality of medical care for children.

All sales are run for exactly one calendar month. In any given month, if a manager wishes to clear out particular Line of merchandise, then a managers' sale is declared, If a holiday falls within the calendar month And there is excess merchandise in the warehouse26 never contains excess merchandise

Throughout history the great majority of those who have sought to become president have been Lawyers, military leaders, or full-time27 politicians. This is understandable, for the personality and skills that make for success in business do not make for success in politics. Business is largely hierarchical, whereas politics is coordinative28; As a result, business executives tend to be Uncomfortable with compromises and power sharing, which are inherent in polities.

  9. A scientific theory is a good theory if it satisfies two requirements, It must accurately describe a large class of observations in terms of a model that is simple enough to contain only a few elements, and it must make definite predictions about the results of future observations, For example, Aristotle's cosmological theory, which claimed that everything was made out of four elements——earth, air, fire, and water——satisfied the first requirement, but it did not make any definite, Thus, Aristotle's cosmological theory was not a good theory.

  If all the statements in the passage are true, each of the following must also be true EXCEPT:

  (A) Prediction about the results of future observations must be made by any good scientific theory.

  (B) Observation of physical phenomena29 was not a major concern in Aristotle's cosmological Theory

  (C) Four elements can be the basis of a scientific model that is simple enough to meet the Simplicity30 criterion of a good theory.
