Which of the following best completes the passage below:
In a study of the first 1000 Business school applications submitted to University X, it was found that one- fifth of the applicants claimed to have more years of work experience than they truly posses. However, the study underestimates the proportion of total applicants to University X who are dishonest ,because 1. The proportion of students who are dishonest about their work experience may be higher out of those who submitted their application after the first 1000 applicants than those applicants who were covered in the study. 2. the study may have considered an applicant dishonest when it was unable to easily verify work experience because a prior employer for which the applicant had truly worked had gone out of business. 3. some applicants who claimed to have possesed only a year or two of additional proffesional experience than they really had were also dishonest in the other parts of their application. 4. some applicants who claimed over a decade of work experience really possesed such work history. 5 .the proportion of applicants at University Y who were dishonest on their application was larger than University X.
The stated fact is the movie starring Ty Fields earned more on opening day than any previous Ty Fields movie had earned on its premiere. But, all the movies, which got premiered on July 4th, earned less than what the movie executives have expected.

IMO, its a process of elimination. (A) The white stinkwood tree is used for building material by the present-day inhabitants of Swartkans: Nothing to do with Burning of animals and use of fire by hominids. (B) Forest fires can heat wood to a range of temperatures that occur in campfires.: How does this justifies the use of fire by hominids? Forest fires can be a natural cause. (C) The bone fragments were fitted together by the archaeologists to form the complete skeletons of several animals. But, that doesn't indicates that the hominids burnt the animals. (D) Apart from the Swartkans discovery, there is reliable evidence that early hominids used fire as many as 500,000 years ago.: No relevance. (E) The bone fragments were found in several distinct layers of limestone that contained primitive cutting tools known to have been used by early hominids.
Clear-cutting a tropical rainforest exposes its shallow soil to heavy tropical rain. The soil is quickly washed away, causing floods and landslides, and preventing regeneration of the original rainforest. However, fast-growing softwoods, which can be harvested for a profit, will grow in clear-cut areas, halting further soil runoff. If we can't prevent clear-cutting, we should provide tax relief to companies that plant softwood plantations in clear-cut areas in order to minimize environmental degradation. Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls into question the advisability of the above scheme?
A. Softwood plantations usually contain only one type of tree, and so lack the biodiversity of the original rainforest. B. Increasing the value of clear-cut land will encourage the clear-cutting of more rain forest. C .It would be cheaper to halt flooding and landslides by building dams and levees. D .The original rainforests are clear-cut to obtain hardwoods, which are many times more valuable than softwoods. E .Government incentives tend to have far reaching consequences that are difficult to predict and may turn out to be counterproductive.OA - B
Dint get the logic at all!!!
A. Softwood plantations usually contain only one type of tree, and so lack the biodiversity of the original rainforest: undermines the assumption but not most seriously. B. Increasing the value of clear-cut land will encourage the clear-cutting of more rain forest. C .It would be cheaper to halt flooding and landslides by building dams and levees: Cost of halting flooding is not a factor but avoiding flooding is important. D .The original rainforests are clear-cut to obtain hardwoods, which are many times more valuable than softwoods: Undermines but not most Seriously. E .Government incentives tend to have far reaching consequences that are difficult to predict and may turn out to be counterproductive: general Statement, not specific.
Here the question says Clear cut areas lead to quick soil wash away, floods and land slides for heavy tropical rains.However there is an advantage of these clear cut areas which can be helpful for fast growing softwoods, halting further soil runoff. We are looking at an option which calls into question of growing softwoods in the clear cut areas. 1.The option says softwood plantations lack biodiversity of the original rain forest. This doesn't explain why softwood plantations in clear cut areas is not advisable. 2.This options conveys that growing of softwood plants, which is profitable, will result in further clear cutting which is a serious disadvantage and so not advisable.(Correct Answer) 3.by building dams is out of question and no point in giving this option a thought. 4.It says hardwoods are much profitable than softwoods nevertheless it is still advisable for Softwoods plantation. 5.This option can be right away ignored because it isn't specific.
Q. Critics of sales seminars run by outside consultants point out that since 1987, revenues of vacuum cleaner companies whose employees attended consultant-led seminars were lower than revenues of vacuum cleaner companies whose employees did not attend such seminars. The critics charge that for vacuum cleaner companies, the sales seminars are ill conceived and a waste of money. Which of the following, if true, is the most effective challenge to the critics of sales seminars? (A) Those vacuum cleaner companies whose sales were highest prior to 1987 are the only companies that did not send employees to the seminars. (B) Vacuum cleaner companies that have sent employees to sales seminars since 1987 experienced a greater drop in sales than they had prior to 1987. (C) The cost of vacuum cleaner sales seminars run by outside consultants has risen dramatically since 1987. (D) The poor design of vacuum cleaner sales seminars is not the only reason for their ineffectiveness.ďźˆA (E) Since 1987, sales of vacuum cleaners have risen twenty percent. Dint get this!! Explanation: (A)The vacuum cleaner companies whose sales was highest prior to 1987, and whose employees never attended the outside consultant seminars, might have continued to show the same results in sales after 1987. We just cant ignore the value of Outside consultant seminars in this case. This must be a challenge for the critics who said the outside consultant seminars are waste of time and money.

Was my explanation clear..??
But the (B) option talks about Increasing the value of clear-cut land rather than about tax incentives granted to companies as mentioned in the premise...please explain. Further ,y option (c) is disregarded?? if something else can reduce the sideeffects of cutting that too at cheaper cost ..why should govt. consider giving tax incentives in very first place...m confused..plz help!!
As per the stimulus given, researcher discovered that the people with low immune levels also tend to score less on mental health. when the answer choices are examined: (A) High immunesystem activity protects against mental illness better than normal immune, system activity does: The author doesn't mean that a high immune system protects against mental illness better. the author should not at all assume before making the above argument. (B) Mental illness is similar to physical disease in its effects on body systems: The conclusion of the argument doesn't talk about similarity between the mental illness and physical immunity. So this assumption is also ruled out. (C) People with high immune-system activity cannot develop mental illness: It is an absurd that if author thinks about this assumption, because there is no evidence in the stimulus that the statement is presumed (D) Mental illness does not cause people's immune-system activity to decrease: This must be the assumption from the author's point of view because as per the argument, most of the people with low immunity levels will tend to score on their mental health too. (E) Psychological treatment of mental illness is not as effective as is medical treatment: The argument doesn't at all talk about the psychological treatment or medical treatment

(A) Over the next ten years, people in their teenage years, the prime movie going age, will be a rapidly growing proportion of the countys population. (B) As distinct from the existing cinemas, most of the cinemas being planned would be located in downtown areas, in hopes of stimulating an economic revitalization of those areas. (C) Spending on video purchases, as well as spending on video rentals, has been increasing modestly each year for the past ten years. (D) The average number of screens per cinema is lower among existing cinemas than it is among cinemas still in the planning stages. (E) The sale of snacks and drinks in cinemas accounts for a steadily growing share of most cinema operators profits.
Hunter: Many people blame hunters alone for the decline in Greenrock National Forests deerpopulation over the past ten years. Yet clearly, black bears have also played an important role in this decline. In the past ten years, the forests protected black bear population has risen sharply, and examination of black bears found dead in the forest during the deer hunting season showed that a number of them had recently fed on deer. In the hunters argument, the portion in boldface plays which of the following roles? (A) It is the main conclusion of the argument. (B) It is a finding that the argument seeks to explain. (C) It is an explanation that the argument concludes is correct. (D) It provides evidence in support of the main conclusion of the argument. (E) It introduces a judgment that the argument opposes.

Technological education is worsening. People between eighteen and twenty-four, who are just emerging from their formal education, are more likely to be technologically illiterate than somewhat older adults. And yet, issues for public referenda will increasingly involve aspects of technology. Which of the following conclusions can be properly drawn from the statements above?
A If all young people are to make informed decisions on public referenda, many of them must learn more about technology. B Thorough studies of technological issues and innovations should be made a required part of the public and private school curriculum. C It should be suggested that prospective voters attend applied science courses in order to acquire a minimal competency in technical matters. D If young people are not to be overly influenced by famous technocrats, they must increase their knowledge of pure science. E On public referenda issues, young people tend to confuse real or probable technologies with impossible ideals.
My take - B ..:|
Off topic: Put the set number too in posts.. they will be easy to track.. 😃
