QUESTION: 23

Mary: All Italians are great lovers.
Kathy: That is not so. I have met some Spaniards who were magnificent lovers. Kathy's reply to Mary indicates that she has misunderstood Mary's remark to mean that

every great lover is an Italian
Italians are best at the art of love
Spaniards are inferior to Italians.
Italian are more likely to be great lovers than Spaniards.
there is a relationship between nationality and love.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Kathy believes Mary to have meant that only Italians are great lovers. Therefore, Kathy takes issue with this and points out in her reply that there are non-Italians who are great lovers.

QUESTION: 24

To paraphrase Oliver Wendell Holmes, taxes keep us civilized. Just look around you, at well-paved superhighways, air-conditioned schools, and modernized prisons, and you cannot help but agree with Holmes.
Which one of the following is the strongest criticism of the statement above?

The author never actually met Holmes.
The author does not acknowledge those of us who do live near highways, schools, and prisons.
The author does not assure us that he has been in a modernized prison.
The author does not offer a biographical sketch of Holmes.
The author does not define "civilized."

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

Without an implied or explicit definition of the "civilized," the relevance of the examples is vague, at best.
Options [The author never actually met Holmes.] and [The author does not offer a biographical sketch of Holmes.] are irrelevant considerations, and options [The author does not acknowledge those of...] and [The author does not assure us that...]., although possibly relevant, do not address the most apparent weakness of the passage.
