Forty years ago, hardly anybody thought about going to court to sue somebody. A person could bump a pedestrian with his Chrysler Airflow and the victim would say something like, "No harm done," and walk away. Ipso facto. No filing of codicils, taking of depositions or polling the jury. Attorneys need not apply.
Which one of the following sentences most logically continues the above passage?

  1. The Chrysler Airflow is no longer the harmless machine it used to be.
  2. Fortunately, this is still the case.
  3. Unfortunately, times have changed.
  4. New legislation affecting the necessity for codicils is a sign of the times.
  5. But now, as we know, law schools are full of eager young people.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The passage consistently implies a difference between the past and the present, and option [Unfortunately, times have changed.] makes this contrast explicit. Option [Fortunately, this is still the case...] contradicts the implication of the passage, while options [The Chrysler Airflow is no longer the...] and [New legislation affecting the necessity...] narrow the focus unnecessarily, and [But now, as we know, law schools are full of...] is irrelevant.



Forty years ago, hardly anybody thought about going to court to sue somebody. A person could bump a pedestrian with his Chrysler Airflow and the victim would say something like, "No harm done," and walk away. Ipso facto. No filing of codicils, taking of depositions or polling the jury. Attorneys need not apply.

Which one of the following details, if true, would most strengthen the above statement?

  1. There were fewer courthouses then than now.
  2. The marked increase in pedestrian accidents is a relatively recent occurrence.
  3. Most citizens of 40 years ago were not familiar with their legal rights.
  4. The number of lawsuits filed during World War II was extremely low.
  5. Most young attorneys were in the armed forces 40 years ago.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

This fact would strengthen the merely impressionistic evidence that lawsuits were less prevalent 40 years ago.
It is the only choice dealing directly with the implied subject of the passage - lawsuits.



Tom is test driving a blue car. After driving for a short while he comes to the following conclusion: Since this car is blue, it must not accelerate quickly.
The foregoing conclusion can be properly drawn if it is also known that

  1. all red cars accelerate quickly
  2. there are some slow blue cars
  3. all blue cars may not accelerate slowly
  4. all cars that accelerate quickly are red
  5. all slow cars are red

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The given statement tells us only that the car is blue. For us to be assured that it is slow we must know either that every blue car is slow or that no blue car accelerates quickly. Option [all cars that accelerate quickly are red] restricts quick acceleration to red cars.



In 1975, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the federal government has exclusive rights to any oil and gas resources on the Atlantic Outer Shelf beyond the three-mile limit.
Which one of the following must be true in order for this ruling to be logical?

  1. The U.S. Supreme Court has met recently.
  2. The Atlantic Outer Shelf may possibly contain oil and gas resources.
  3. No oil and gas resources exist within the three-mile limit.
  4. In 1977, the Court reversed this ruling.
  5. Oil and gas on the Atlantic Shelf has not been explored for in the past three years.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A ruling on resources must at least presume the possibility that such resources exist; otherwise it is absurd. All other choices are irrelevant to the ruling.



By passing more and more regulations allegedly to protect the environment, the state is driving the manufacturing industry away. And when the employers leave, the workers will follow. The number of new no growth or environmental rules passed each year is increasing by leaps and bounds. Rich environmentalists who think they are sympathetic to workers have no real sympathy for the blue-collar employees are injured by their activities.
One major manufacturer has been fined for failing to establish a car-pool plan. Another is accused of polluting the air with industrial emissions, although everyone knows that two thirds of the pollutants come from cars and trucks. No wonder the large manufacturers are moving to states with fewer restrictive laws. And as the manufacturers go, unemployment and the number of workers leaving the state will rise more rapidly than ever before.

The author's argument that strict environmental laws will eventually lead to loss of workers in the state will be most weakened if it can be shown that

  1. so far, the number of manufacturers who have left the state is small
  2. the unemployment rate has climbed steadily in the last three years
  3. the unemployment rate has climbed steadily in the last three years
  4. most workers who leave the state give as their reason for leaving poor environmental quality
  5. several other manufacturing states have strict environmental laws
  6. rich environmentalists are more powerful in many other states

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The passage argues that environmental restrictions will lead to losses of jobs and hence workers, but if workers are already leaving because the environmental quality is poor, the argument is seriously weakened.



By passing more and more regulations allegedly to protect the environment, the state is driving the manufacturing industry away. And when the employers leave, the workers will follow. The number of new no growth or environmental rules passed each year is increasing by leaps and bounds. Rich environmentalists who think they are sympathetic to workers have no real sympathy for the blue-collar employees are injured by their activities.

One major manufacturer has been fined for failing to establish a car-pool plan. Another is accused of polluting the air with industrial emissions, although everyone knows that two thirds of the pollutants come from cars and trucks. No wonder the large manufacturers are moving to states with fewer restrictive laws. And as the manufacturers go, unemployment and the number of workers leaving the state will rise more rapidly than ever before.
Which one of the following is NOT an argument of this passage?

  1. Environmentalists are responsible for depriving workers of their jobs.
  2. When workers leave a state, it is a sign that manufacturers will follow.
  3. A car-pool law should not be enforced, as cars and trucks are responsible for most air pollution.
  4. Large manufacturers prefer states with fewer restrictions.
  5. A rise in unemployment will lead to an increase in workers leaving the state.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The passage makes no comment on workers leaving before a manufacturer. It argues that the loss of manufacturers leads to a loss of workers [A rise in unemployment will lead to an increase...].



Unlike most graduates of American high schools, all graduates of high schools in Bermuda have completed four years of advanced mathematics.

Which one of the following, if true, would best explain the situation described above?

  1. Math anxiety is higher in the United States than in Bermuda.
  2. There are far more high schools and high school students in the United States than in Bermuda.
  3. More students in America take fulltime jobs without completing high school.
  4. Math programs in American high schools are frequently understaffed.
  5. High Schools in Bermuda require four years of advanced mathematics for graduation.

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

Though choices [Math anxiety is higher in...], [There are far more high schools and...], [More students in America take fulltime...] and [Math programs in American high schools are...] might contribute to increased study of math in Bermuda, option [High Schools in Bermuda require four years of...] leaves no doubt. High schools in Bermuda require four years of advanced math for graduation; high schools in the United States do not.



By refusing to ban smoking in restaurants, the city council has put the financial wellbeing of restaurant owners above the health of the citizens of this city. No doubt, the council would support the restaurants if they decided to use asbestos tablecloths and to barbecue using radioactivity. These devices would be no more risky.

The author of this paragraph makes her case by arguing

  1. from experience
  2. from example
  3. by authority
  4. from observation
  5. from analogy

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

The passage makes its point by analogy, comparing the dangers of smoking to the dangers of asbestos and radioactivity.
