that gained from earning a degree. For workers in those jobs, good basic skills
in reading, communication, and mathematics play an important role in getting a
job and developing a career.

From the information given above it can be
validly concluded that, in today’s economy,

mathematics play an important role in developing a career as a desktop
publisher.

(b) Majority of the new jobs being created
require knowledge other than that gained from earning a college degree.

7. According to the National Agricultural
Aviation Society (NAAS), without the use of crop protection products to control
insects, weeds, and diseases, crop yields per acre will drop by more than 50
percent. The first aerial application of insecticide occurred in 1921, and it
was a huge success. By contrast, in today’s economy all aircrafts that are
classified as aerial applicators do more than just apply insecticide; they also
spread seed and apply fertilizer.

From the information given above it CANNOT
be validly concluded that

(a) According to the NAAS, if crop yields
per acre never drop by more than 50 percent, then crop protection products have
been used to control insects, weeds, and diseases

(b) In today’s economy, any aircraft that
cannot be used to apply fertilizer cannot be classified as an aerial applicator

(c) In today’s economy, if an aerial
applicator is used, then it will be able to spread seed and to apply
fertilizer.

(d) According to the NAAS, if crop yields
per acre drop by more than 50 percent, then crop protection products have not
been used to control insects, weeds, and diseases.

8. Lou observes that if flight 409 is cancelled, then
the manager cannot possibly arrive in time for the meeting. But the flight was
not cancelled. Therefore, Lou concludes that the manager will certainly be on
time. Evelyn replies that even if Lou’s premises are true, his argument is
fallacious. And therefore, she adds the manager will not arrive on time after
all.

Which of the following is most accurate in relation to
this discussion?

(a) Evelyn is mistaken in thinking Lou’s
argument to be fallacious, and so her own conclusion is unwarranted.

(b) Evelyn is right about Lou’s argument,
but nevertheless her own conclusion is unwarranted. (c) Since Evelyn is right
about Lou’s argument, her own conclusion is well-supported.

(d) Since Evelyn is mistaken about Lou’s
argument, her own conclusion must be false.
