If Jack were a first baseman for the New York Mets, he would be rich. He is not a first baseman, since he is not rich. The conclusion above is unsound because the author does not consider the possibility that Jack could be
Answer(s): B
The logical conclusion from the statements is that, since Jack is not rich, he is not a first baseman for the New York Mets, not that he is not a first baseman. He could be a first baseman for some other team and be rich.

Read the following passage and answer the question below:Politician: The funding for the new nationwide health-awareness campaign should come from an increase in taxes on cigarettes. It is well established that cigarette smoking causes many serious health problems, and it is only reasonable that people whose unhealthful habits cause so many health problems should bear the costs of that campaign.Smoker: But it is equally well established that regularly eating high-fat, high-cholesterol foods causes as many serious health problems as does smoking, yet it would be manifestly unreasonable to force those who purchase such foods to bear the burden of financing this campaign.Which one of the following is the point at issue between the politician and the smoker?
Answer(s): A
The stem indicates a standard Point at Issue question, so expect the combatants to lock horns. The politician favors an increased tax on cigarettes to fund a new health-awareness campaign. Smokers are responsible for so many health problems, she argues--let them pay for the program. Notice that it's not a non-smoking campaign, however, but rather a general effort to make people more health conscious overall. And that seems to be what the smoker notices. He points out that others, by virtue of their habits, are also responsible for health problems, an example being consumers of high-fat, high-cholesterol foods. It would be unfair, he argues, to make that group pay for the campaign. Now, he doesn't come right out and say it, but hopefully you realized that by means of his example he's contesting the notion that smokers should pay for the campaign. He implies by way of analogy that forcing any one group with unhealthy habits to fund the campaign is unreasonable. The contested issue, therefore, is the basic one stated in the option [whether the politician's proposal for...]: The politician believes her proposal is a reasonable one, and the smoker simply does not.

We've done all the work already just ferreting out the point of contention above, so option [offers a counterexample that calls into...] should look good right away. We saw how the smoker implies, by means of his example, that smokers shouldn't bear the financial burden of the campaign. We saw also how the smoker never comes right out and says this, but it's pretty obvious thanks to his example what his position is. The other group of unhealthy folks (the bad eaters) is the counterexample, and they are presented to cast doubt on the politician's plan. Saying that it's "manifestly unreasonable" leaves little question that he feels that it would be just as unreasonable to impose the tax on smokers.
There should be a greater use of gasohol. Gasohol is a mixture of alcohol and gasoline, and has a higher octane rating and fewer carbon monoxide emissions than straight gasoline. Burning gasohol adds no more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere than plants remove by photosynthesis. Each of the following, if true, strengthens the argument above EXCEPT:
Answer(s): C
This is a strengthen EXCEPT question which means that the correct answer will either weaken the argument or have no effect on it. The author's conclusion is the recommendation made in the first sentence: There should be greater use of gasohol. Why? Because it has a higher octane rating and fewer carbon monoxide emissions than gasoline, and the carbon dioxide it adds to the air is removed by photosynthesis. Pretty straightforward, so on to the answer choices. All of the incorrect answer choices will strengthen the conclusion that gasohol should be used instead of gasoline. Option [Cars burn on the average slightly...] is correct because it provides an advantage that gasoline has over gasohol, namely that cars burn more gasohol per kilometer than gasoline. In other words, gasoline cars get better mileage. This would weaken the recommendation that gasohol be used.
Cats spend much of their time sleeping; they seem to awaken only to stretch and yawn. Yet they have a strong, agile musculature that most animals would have to exercise strenuously to acquire. Which one of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent paradox described above?
The question stem tells you you'll have to resolve or explain an apparent paradox. Therefore, your first step should have been to clearly identify the paradox. In this case, the stimulus tells you that even though cats mostly just stretch and yawn, they have a strong musculature that most animals would need lots of exercise to acquire. Note the Keyword "Yet" in the last sentence that alerts you to something unexpected coming up. And in fact, it is somewhat surprising that cats can get this musculature when all they do is sleep and stretch and yawn. The correct answer choice will explain how that can be. Option [Cats derive ample exercise from frequent stretching.].is correct because it shows how both parts of this argument could be true. If cats get ample exercise from frequent stretching, and we know from the argument that they do stretch, then that helps to explain how they get the exercise necessary to maintain their agile musculature
