Bank depositors in the United States are all financially protected against bank failure because the government insures all individuals bank deposits．An economist argues that this insurance is partly responsible for the high rate of bank failures，since it removes from depositors any financial incentive to find out whether the bank that holds their money is secure against failure．If depositors were more selective，then banks would need to be secure in order to compete for depositors money．

45．The economist's argument makes which of the following assumptions?
(A) Bank failures are caused when big borrowers default on loan repayments．
(B) A significant proportion of depositors maintain accounts at several different banks．
(C) The more a depositor has to deposit，the more careful he or she tends to be in selecting a bank.
(D) The difference in the interest rates paid to depositors by different banks is not a significant factor in bank failures．
(E) Potential depositors are able to determine which banks are secure against failure．

(A) Before the government started to insure depositors against bank failure，there was a lower rate of bank failure than there is now．
(B) When the government did not insure deposits，frequent bank failures occurred as a result of depositors fears of losing money in bank failures．
(C) Surveys show that a significant proportion of depositors are aware that their deposits are insured by the government．
(D) There is an upper limit on the amount of an individual's deposit that the government will insure，but very few individuals deposits exceed this limit．

Laws requiring the use of headlights during daylight hours can prevent automobile collisions. However, since daylight visibility is worse in countries farther from the equator, any such laws would obviously be more effective in preventing collisions in those countries．In fact，the only countries that actually have such laws are farther from the equator than is the continental United States.
Which of the following conclusions could be most properly drawn from the information given above?
(A) Drivers in the continental United States who used their headlights during the day would be just as likely to become involved in a collision as would drivers who did not use their headlights．
(B) In many countries that are farther from the equator than is the continental United States poor daylight visibility is the single most important factor in automobile collisions-
(C) The proportion of automobile collisions that occur in the daytime is greater in the continental United States than in the countries that have daytime headlight laws．
(D) Fewer automobile collisions probably occur each year in countries that have daytime headlight laws than occur within the continental United States．

Let us Have a look at this again :

6.1 Commentator: The theory of trade retaliation states that countries closed out of any of another countrys markets should close some of their own markets to the other country in order to pressure the other country to reopen its markets. If every country acted according to this theory, no country would trade with any other
The commentators argument relies on which of the following assumptions?
(A) No country actually acts according to the theory of trade retaliation.
(B) No country should block any of its markets to foreign trade.
(C) Trade disputes should be settled by international tribunal.
(D) For any two countries, at least one has some market closed to the other
(E) Countries close their markets to foreigners to protect domestic producers.

Since,the commentator is talking about the theory of retaliation

Options E and C are absurd as they talk out of context
B) could have been a conclusion but not assumption
Options A and D are close
But D is more appropriate since we are more concerned about how countries act with respect to the theory

2．Which of the following statements by a United States corporate officer best fits the situation of United States firms as described in the passage above?
(A) ＂We would rather make only a share of the profit and also risk only a share of a possible loss than run the full risk of a loss．＂
(B) ＂We would rather make a share of a relatively modest profit than end up making none of a potentially much bigger profit．＂

(A) Transnational cooperation involves projects too big for a single corporation to handle．

The argument above logically depends on which of the following assumptions?

B Unproductive employees often refuse to co-operate with the managers doing the evaluations, because they see these evaluations as a violation of their privacy.
