Kate:

The

recent

decline

in

numbers

of

the

Tennessee

warbler,

a

North

American

songbird

that

migrates

each

fall

to

coffee

plantations

in

South

America,

is

due

to

the

elimination of the dense tree cover that formerly was a feature of most South American

coffee plantations.

Scott:

The

population

of

the

spruce

budworm,

the

warbler’s

favorite

prey

in

North

America, has been drop

ping.

This is a more likely explanation of the warbler’s decline.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls Scott’s hypothesis into question?

A.

The numbers of the Baltimore oriole, a songbird that dose not eat budworms but is

as dependent on South American coffee plantations as is the Tennessee warbler,

are declining.

B.

The spruce-budworm population has dropped because of a disease that can infect

budworms but not Tennessee warblers.

C.

The drop in the population of the spruce budworm is expected to be only

temporary.

D.

Many Tennessee warbler have begun migrating in the fall to places other than

traditional coffee plantations.

E.

Although many North American songbirds have declined in numbers, no other

species has experienced as great a decline as has the Tennessee warbler.

Q13:

It is true of both men and women that those who marry as young adults live longer than

those who never marry.

This dose not show that marriage causes people to live longer,

since, as compared with other people of the same age, young adults who are about to get

married have fewer of the unhealthy habits that can cause a person to have a shorter life,

most notably smoking and immoderate drinking of alcohol.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument above?

A.

Marriage tends to cause people to engage less regularly in sports that involve risk

of bodily harm.

B.

A married person who has an unhealthy habit is more likely to give up that habit

than a person with the same habit who is unmarried.

C.

A person who smokes is much more likely than a nonsmoker to marry a person

who smokes at the time of marriage, and the same is true for people who drink

alcohol immoderately.

D.

Among people who marry as young adults, most of those who give up an

unhealthy habit after marriage do not resume the habit later in life.

E.

Among people who as young adults neither drink alcohol immoderately nor smoke,

those who never marry live as long as those who marry.

. Companies considering new cost-cutting manufacturing processes often compare

the projected results of making the investment against the alternative of not making the

investment with costs, selling prices, and share of market remaining constant.

Which of the following, assuming that each is a realistic possibility, constitutes the

most serious disadvantage for companies of using the method above for evaluating

the financial benefit of new manufacturing processes?

(A) The costs of materials required by the new process might not be known with

certainty.

(B) In several years interest rates might go down, reducing the interest costs of

borrowing money to pay for the investment.

(C) Some cost- cutting processes might require such expensive investments that there

would be no net gain for many years, until the investment was paid for by savings in

the manufacturing process.

(D) Competitors that do invest in a new process might reduce their selling prices and

thus take market share away from companies that do not.

(E) The period of year chosen for averaging out the cost of the investment might be

somewhat longer or shorter, thus affecting the result.

. A recent survey of all auto accident victims in Dole County found that, of the severely

injured drivers and front-seat passengers, 80 percent were not wearing seat belts at

the time of their accidents. This indicates that, by wearing seat belts, drivers and

front-seat passengers can greatly reduce their risk of being severely injured if they are

in an auto accident.

The conclusion above is not properly drawn unless which of the following is true?

(A) Of all the drivers and front- seat passengers in the survey, more than 20 percent

were wearing seat belts at the time of their accidents.

(B)Considerably more than 20 percent of drivers and front-seat passengers in Dole

County always wear seat belts when traveling by car.

(C) More drivers and front-seat passengers in the survey than rear-seat passengers

were very severely injured.

(D) More than half of the drivers and front-seat passengers in the survey were not

wearing seat belts at the time of their accidents.

(E) Most of the auto accidents reported to police in Dole County do not involve any

serious injury.
