This page contains the Argument topics for
the Analytical Writing section of the GRE?revised
General Test. When you take the test,
you will be presented with one Argument topic from
this
pool.
Each
Argument topic consists of a passage that presents
an argument followed by specific task
instructions that tell you how to
analyze the argument. The wording of some topics
in the test
might vary slightly from
what is presented here. Also, because there may be
multiple versions of
some topics with
similar or identical wording but with different
task instructions, it is very important
to read your test topic and its
specific task directions carefully and respond to
the wording as it
appears in the actual
test.

Woven baskets
characterized by a particular distinctive pattern
have previously been found only in
the
immediate vicinity of the prehistoric village of
Palea and therefore were believed to have been
made only by the Palean people.
Recently, however, archaeologists discovered such
a
very deep and broad, and so
the ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by
boat, and no
Palean boats have been
found. Thus it follows that the so-called Palean
baskets were not uniquely
Palean.
Write a response in which
you discuss what specific evidence is needed to
evaluate the argument
and explain how
the evidence would weaken or strengthen the
argument.

individual's levels of
stimulation. The study showed that in stimulating
situations(such as an
encounter with an
unfamiliar monkey),firstborn infant monkeys
produce up to twice as much of the
hormone cortisol, which primes the body
for increased activity levels, as do their younger
siblings.
Firstborn humans also produce
relatively high levels of cortisol in stimulating
situations (such as
the return of a
parent after an absence).The study also found that
during pregnancy, first-time
mother
monkeys had higher levels of cortisol than did
those who had had several offspring.

proposed explanation and

The following appeared as a letter to
the editor from a Central Plaza store owner.
while the popularity of
skateboarding has increased dramatically. Many
Central Plaza store
owners believe that
the decrease in their business is due to the
number of skateboard users in the
plaza. There has also been a dramatic
increase in the amount of litter and vandalism
throughout
the plaza. Thus, we
recommend that the city prohibit skateboarding in
Central Plaza. If
skateboarding is
prohibited here, we predict that business in
Central Plaza will return to its
previously high levels.

Arctic deer
live on islands in Canada's arctic regions. They
search for food by moving over ice
from
island to island during the course of the year.
Their habitat is limited to areas warm enough to
sustain the plants on which they feed
and cold enough, at least some of the year, for
the ice to
cover the sea separating the
islands, allowing the deer to travel over it.
Unfortunately, according to
reports
from local hunters, the deer populations are
declining. Since these reports coincide with
recent global warming trends that have
caused the sea ice to melt, we can conclude that
the
purported decline in deer
populations is the result of the deer's being
unable to follow their age-old
migration patterns across the frozen
sea.

The following is part of
a memorandum from the president of Humana
University.
University increased by 50
the same year,Omni showed a significant decrease
from prior years in expenditures for
dormitory and classroom space,most likely because
instruction
in the online programs
takes place via the contrast,over the past three
years,enrollment
at Humana University
has failed to grow,and the cost of maintaining
buildings has increased along
with our
budget address these problems,Humana University
will begin immediately to
create and
actively promote online degree programs like those
at predict that instituting
these
online degree programs will help Humana both
increase its total enrollment and solve its
budget problems.
Write a response in which you discuss
what questions would need to be answered in order
to
decide whether the prediction and
the argument on which it is based are sure to
explain how the answers to these
questions would help to evaluate the prediction.

adequate physical

they suggest that spending
too much

regions of Corpora where levels of computer
ownership are also highest,it is clear that
using computers has not made citizens
less physically d,as shown by this year's
unusually low expenditures on fitness-
related products and services,the recent decline
in the
economy is most likely the
cause,and fitness levels will improve when the
economy does.
