A researcher discovered that people who have low levels of immune system activity tend to score much lower on tests of mental health than do people with normal or high immune system activity．The researcher concluded from this experiment that the immune system protects against mental illness as well as against physical disease．
The researcher's conclusion depends on which of the following assumptions?
(A) High immune．system activity protects against mental illness better than normal immune, system activity does．
(B) Mental illness is similar to physical disease in its effects on body systems.
(C) People with high immune-system activity cannot develop mental illness
(D) Mental illness does not cause people's immune-system activity to decrease.
(E) Psychological treatment of mental illness is not as effective as is medical treatment.
No, the answer should be D.
Assumption means that if you consider it to be wrong, then the conclusion should become false.
If mental illness caused people's immune system activity to decrease, they would automatically score lower on the tests. The researcher has assumed that mental illness will not let immune system activity to decrease.
robin gill Saysacc. to me B is the correct answer as other options except b contains some assumptions that were not given in the passage..only b option satisfies the passage.
15. Bill: Smoke-detecting fire alarms can save lives. I believe that every apartment in this city should be required by law to be equipped with a smoke detector.
Joe: I disagree with your proposal. Smoke detectors are just as important for safety in private houses as they are in apartment.
From this exchange, it can be inferred that Joe has interpreted Bill's statement to mean that

(D) In 1988 the mayor of Los Diablos was found to have accepted large campaign donations from local industries and to have exempted those same industries from air pollution control measures.
(E) Excess ozone and carbon monoxide require a minimum of two years to break down naturally in the atmosphere above a given area.

16..In 1986, the city of Los Diablos had 20 days on which air pollution reached unhealthful amounts and a smog alert was put into effect. In early 1987, new air pollution control measures were enacted, but the city had smog alerts on 31 days that year and on 39 days the following year. In 1989, however, the number of smog alerts in Los Diablos dropped to sixteen. The main air pollutants in Los Diablos are ozone and carbon monoxide, and since 1986 the levels of both have been monitored by gas spectrography.
Which of the following statements, assuming that each is true, would be LEAST helpful in explaining the air pollution levels in Los Diablos between 1986 and 1989?
(A) The 1987 air pollution control measures enacted in Los Diablos were put into effect in November of 1988.
(B) In December of 1988 a new and far more accurate gas spectrometer was invented.
(C) In February of 1989, the Pollution Control Board of Los Diablos revised the scale used to determine the amount of air pollution considered unhealthful.
(D) In 1988 the mayor of Los Diablos was found to have accepted large campaign donations from local industries and to have exempted those same industries from air pollution control measures.
(E) Excess ozone and carbon monoxide require a minimum of two years to break down naturally in the atmosphere above a given area.
This is a question from the 1000CR document, one that I sincerely advise everyone to stay away from. There are loads of questions in the OG's to discuss and practice. Please try not to reach out and try more questions from these docs, they might do you more harm than good.
This question is a good example why I would recommend not going close to the 1000 CR doc.
Discuss this problem, without looking at the OA and try to get to a conclusion, you guys will probably understand what I am trying to tell you.

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.
OA is (E).

Q.1 At one time, European and Japanese companies tried to imitate their American rivals. Today, American appliance manufacturers import European scientists to lead their research staffs; American automakers design cars that mimic the styling of German, Italian, and French imports; and American electronics firms boast in their advertising of Japanese-style devotion to quality and reliability. In the world of high technology, America has lost the battle for international prestige.
Each of the following statements, if true, would help to support the claim above EXCEPT:
(A) An American camera company claims in its promotional literature to produce cameras as fine as the best Swiss imports.
(B) An American maker of stereo components designs its products to resemble those of a popular Japanese firm.
(C) An American manufacturer of video games uses a brand name chosen because it sounds like a Japanese word.

Did you know that the Daily Bugle is owned by an out-of-town business syndicate that couldn't care less about the people of Gotham City?Only OPTION D does that....isn't it ???
Hi AP,
The only way I can justify is that it is given in the passage ...
Preparing a food item the European way do not go with the context. Hence E.
The second one is straightforward though, we have to refute the argument Only OPTION D does that....isn't it ???
Thanks for the above replies. I agree with the second one completely. My bad. :)
The first one though now after you mention it, I can appreciate the logic. But at crunch times, its a difficult one. Thanks.
I hope you dont mind clearing my doubts for the following 😃

Q. In the effort to fire a Civil Service employee, his or her manager may have to spend up to $100,000 of tax money. Since Civil Service employees know how hard it is to fire them, they tend to loaf. This explains in large part why the government is so inefficient.
It can be properly inferred on the basis of the statements above that the author believes which of the following?
I. Too much job security can have a negative influence on workers.
II. More government workers should be fired.
III. Most government workers are Civil Service employees.
(A) I only
(B) I and III only
(C) II only
(D) I, II, and III
(E) III only
OA - A. My ans - B
Hi AP,
Let me answer the second one first. No way you can infer "III. Most government workers are Civil Service employees." Please don't confuse "This explains in large part why the government is so inefficient" with large number of civil Service employees.
The first one was a close choice between A and D but felt A is stronger as it qualifies the conclusion better.
D is a bit far fetched assumption. Although this was more a gut feeling, so can't thrust upon you the real logic.
@Experienced Puys : Can anyone suggest a better logical method of tackling such assumption based ques.
AdhirajPoddar SaysI stil dont understand the logic for 2nd. As in if the Civil Service employees loaf and this is largely thereason why the govt is inefficient then most govt employees must be civil service officer. Isn;t it??

(A) other housewares catalogs with magazinelike formats do not already exist
(B) an upscale clientele would be interested in a housewares catalog
(C) the same copywriter and graphic artist could be employed for both the clothing and housewares catalogs

(A) The recent drought was not as severe as scientists predicted.
(B) States other than Florida also supply oranges to orange juice manufacturers.
(C) Other ingredients are used in the production of orange juice.
(D) Last year the price of oranges was actually lower than the average price over the past ten years.（B）
(E) The price of oranges will eventually be $0.48 per crate.
