Using clean-coal technologies to "repower" existing factories promises ultimately a substantial reduction of polluting emissions, and will affect the full range of pollutants implicated in acid rain. The strategy of using these technologies could cut sulphur dioxide emission by more than 80 percent and nitrogen oxide emissions by more than 50 percent. The mission of smaller quantity of nitrogen pollutants would in turn reduce the formation of noxious ozone in the troposphere. Which one of the following statements is an inference that can be drawn from the information given in the passage.
(E) The choice of technologies in factories could reduce the formation of noxious ozone in the troposphere.
@menace the line you mentioned in bold is the reason for which experience in jogging w.r.t to injuries.as you see beginers dont suffer as much injuries as mushc veteran joggers do:D
Furthermore, these injuries do not occur exclusively among beginning runners-veteran joggers suffer an equal percentage of injuries.
Sir i think the sentence says these injuries do not occur only(exclusively) among beginners- veterans share equal percentage as do the beginners. So as per this experience doesnt matter in this case.:|
J.J. Thomson, the discoverer of the electron and a recipient of the Nobel Prize in physics, trained many physicists, among them seven Nobel Prize winners, 32 fellows of the Royal Society of London, and 83 professors of physics. This shows that the skills needed for creative research can be taught and learned. Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends? (A) J.J. Thomson was an internationally known physicist and scientists came from all over the world to work with him (B) All the scientists trained by were renowned for their creative scientific research (C) At least one of the eminent scientists trained by J.J. Thomson was not a creative researcher before coming to study with him (D) Creative research in physics requires research habits not necessary for creative research in other fields (E) Scientists who go on to be the most successful researchers often receive their scientific education in classes taught by renowned research scientists
Ans (C) At least one of the eminent scientists trained by J.J. Thomson was not a creative researcher before coming to study with him
Otherwise, we cannot conclude that skills needed for creative research can be taught and learned.
There is no mystery as to why figurative painting revived in the late 1970s. People want to look at recognizable images. Sorting out art theories reflected in abstract paintings is no substitute for the sense of empathy that comes from looking at a realistic painting of a figure in a landscape. Perhaps members of the art felt that its lack of realistic subject matter was a rejection of the viewers and their world. Which one of the following most accurately expresses the main point of the passage? (A) Abstract paintings often include or forms that are suggestive of real objects or emotions. (B) The art-viewing public wished to see traditional subjects treated in a non-traditional manner. (C) Paintings that depict a recognizable physical world rather than the emotional world of the artist's life require more artistic talent to create. (D) The general public is unable to understand the theories on which abstract painting is based. (E) The artistic preferences of the art-viewing public stimulated the revival (of figurative painting )
Ans(E) Fact:figurative painting revived in the late 1970s.
Reason:People want to look at recognizable images (i.e. Figurative painting), rather than sorting out art theories reflected in abstract paintings. Conclusion:The artistic preferences of the art-viewing public stimulated the revival.
Using.... (B) Noxious ozone is formed in factories by chemical reactions involving sulphur dioxide. OA is in bold!!
1) Using clean-coal technologies to "repower" existing factories promises ultimately a substantial reduction of polluting emissions
4) This will affect the full range of pollutants implicated in acid rain. 2) The strategy of using these technologies could cut sulfur dioxide emission by more then 80 percent and nitrogen oxide emissions by more then 50 percent.
3) The mission of smaller quantity of nitrogen pollutants would in turn reduce the formation of noxious ozone in the troposphere.
Which one of the following statements is an inference that can be drawn from the information given in the passage.
(A) Sulfur dioxide emissions are the most dangerous pollutants implicated in acid rain. -Out.
(B) Noxious ozone is formed in factories by chemical reactions involving sulfur dioxide. - Can't be derived from argument
(C) Twenty percent of the present level of sulfur dioxide emissions in the atmosphere is not considered a harmful level. - No.
(D) A substantial reduction of polluting emissions will be achieved by the careful design of new factories. - Not design, but technology used
(E) The choice of technologies in factories could reduce the formation of noxious ozone in the troposphere. - This is the one. The argument is about using clean coal to repower factories and goes on to state that reducing emmissions from the factories could affect the full range of pollutants implicated in acid rain. If this is true, then the choice of technologies in factories must be important.
The ancient Romans understood the principles of water power very well and in some outlying parts of their empire they made extensive and excellent use of water as an energy sources. This makes it all the more striking that the Romans made do without water power in dominated by large cities. Which one of the following, if true, contributes most to an explanation of the difference described above in the Romans use of water power? (A) The ancient Romans were adept at constructing and maintaining aqueducts that could carry quantities of water sufficient to supply large cities over considerable distances I think such a mechanism can only bring drinking water at slow speed. For energy production, speed of water is essential.
(B) In the areas in which water power was not used water flow in rivers and streams was substantial throughout the year but nevertheless exhibited some seasonal variation This explanation holds 'water'. Seasonal variation = problem in continuous power supply. so not used in big city.
(C) Water power was relatively vulnerable to sabotage but any damage could be quickly and inexpensively repaired
False: If quick and inexpensive to repair, why they don't used it in big city?
(D) In most areas to which the use of water power was not extended other more traditional sources of energy continued to be used (False: Obviously if you're not using waterpower, you'll use traditional source (firewood,coal) but this doesn't explain why waterpower not used in cities but in outlying areas)
(E) In heavily populated areas the introduction of water power would have been certain to cause social unrest by depriving large numbers of people of their livelihood
Assumption: Large number of people made living by selling firewood and coal to nobles? This doesn't make sense.
GAP: Water energy used in outlying areas but not in big cities. Answer: (A) or (B) I would take (B)

Generally scientists enter their field with the goal of doing important research and accept as their colleagues those with similar motivation. Therefore, when any scientist wins renown as an expounder of science to general audience, most other scientists conclude that this popularizer should no longer be regarded as a true colleague.
The explanation offered above for the low esteem in which scientific popularizers are held by research scientists assumes that
(A)serious scientific research is not a solitary activity, but relies on active cooperation among a group of colleagues
(B)research scientists tend not to regard as colleagues those scientists whose renown they envy
(C)a scientist can become a famous popularizer without having completed any important research
(D)research scientists believe that those who are well known as popularizers of science are not motivated to do important new research
(E)no important new research can be accessible to or accurately assessed by those who are not themselves scientists

Anything wrong?
i tried my level best to explain..however in CR 1st thought is always correct...u can never convince urself..oa convinces u ;-)

Congrates buddy for the 1st CR question, now allow me to become the first guy to answer this :)
Author assumes that Answer: (D)research scientists believe that those who are well known as popularizers of science are not motivated to do important new research.
Because if popularizer is motivated to do new important research then other scientists will accept him as a collegue.
In order to promote off-season business, Mt. Dunmore Lodge made the following "Welcome Back" offer to their winter guests: guests who rent a room for at least a week during ski season can come back during the summer and get 25% off the standard summer price of any room they rent. After the summer passed, the owners of the lodge determined that the majority of their guests had taken advantage of the "Welcome Back" offer and paid the reduced rates. However, they were surprised to find they still managed to rent more rooms at full price than they did at the discount rate. Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the apparent discrepancy in the passage?
(A) Most of the guests who stayed at Mt. Dunmore Lodge during the winter did not stay for a full week. (B) Those guests taking advantage of the "Welcome Back" discount were more likely to bring their families with them than were those guests who were paying full price. (C) Some of the guests who received the "Welcome Back" discount also received a 10% rate reduction through their auto club. (D) In order to pay for the construction of a new gymnasium and a new pool, the owners of the lodge raised their summer prices considerably. (E) On average, guests who took advantage of the "Welcome Back" discount spent more money at the hotel on additional goods and services than guests who paid full price for their rooms.
. Over the past seven years, private college tuition rates have increased, resulting in a large decrease in private college attendance across the country. Private college revenues, however, have progressively increased in each of the seven years during this period, and researchers predict further increases in the years to come. which of the following, if true, offers the best explanation for the situation described above? (a) most private colleges increase tuition rates approximately once every two years. (b) attendance at vocational schools generally exceeds attendance at private colleges in most cities. (c) the increase in tuition rates at private colleges has influenced many prospective students to seek a state scholarship to attend a public university. (d) the decrease in students attending private colleges over the last seven years has been more than offset by the increases in tuition. (e) private colleges gain a larger percentage of their revenue from alumni contributions than do public universities.
I'll go with E on this one... A,C,D are pretty irrelevant, and although B comes a bit close, it states in the opening line of the para that "psychologists who want their book review to be nominated".. So, B gets eliminated(IMHO).
Psychologists who wish to have one of their book reviews nominated for the prestigious Boatwright Psychology Review award should not submit book review articles that review more than three books at a time. This is because editors for the Boatwright Psychology Review will not publish a book review article if it is too lengthy and cumbersome to read. In their submission guidelines, the editors explicitly state that review articles that cover more than three books at a time are considered too lengthy and cumbersome to read. Which of the following statements represents an assumption upon which the argument above depends? (A) The books review article that covers the most books must be the lengthiest and most cumbersome article to read. (B) If a book review article is published in the Boatwright Psychology Review, that article will receive the prestigious Boatwright Psychology Review award. (C) All articles published in the Boatwright Psychology Review must be limited to a certain length specified by the editors. (D) The Boatwright Psychology Review editors generally prefer book review articles that cover one book rather than two books. (E) To be nominated for the Boatwright Psychology Review award, a psychologist's book review article must be published in the Boatwright Psychology Review.
