Dude - A is screaming as the answer!
Hi,
Can someone tell us whether the GMAT question for CR would on par with the questions in OG and NOVA. This would help me in my preparation a lot.
Which is the best material for CR preparartion
Regards,
Sri
Answer Option is (A) The rules for governmental support of farm prices work against efforts to reduce water pollution.
This one is frm the OG10. Please post the complete solution for this
The number of patents granted to inventors by the United States Patent Office dropped from 56,000 in 1971
to 45,000 in 1978. Spending on research and development, which peaked at 3 percent of the gross national
product (GNP) in 1964, was only 2.2 percent of the GNP in 1978. During this period, when the United States
percentage was steadily decreasing, West Germany and Japan increased the percentage of their GNPs spent
on research and development to 3.2 percent and 1.6 percent, respectively.
Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the information above?
(A) There is direct relationship between the size of a nations GNP and the number of inventions it produces.
(B) Japan and West Germany spent more money on research and development is directly related to the number
of inventions patented in that nation.
(C) The amount of money a nation spends on research and development is directly relocated to the number of
inventions patented in that nation.
(D) Between 1964 and 1978 the United States consistently spent a larger percentage of its GNP on research
and development than did Japan.
(E) Both West Germany and Japan will soon surpass the United States in the number of patents granted to
investors.

My take in bold....
Right...!!!
Infocurean SaysMy take in bold....
One more.. explanations required for B and E....
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 obvisouly 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 headlines 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 visilibty 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.
(E) Daytime headlight laws would probably do less to prevent automobile collisions in the continental United States than they do in the countries that have the laws.

Tricky question - my answer is D.
United States' spend went from 3.3 to 2.2% of GNP in 1978, while Japan's spend went to 1.6% in the same period. Therefore the US still spent more than Japan, because the passage says Japan increased it's spend, which means it will have been lower previously (definitely not greater than 2.2%)
All other options:
No info given abt Germany and Japan in terms of number of patents

My answer is E.
B - "Single most important factor" seems to be too strong a statement to make given that no info is given about other causes of collision.

US spending on research dropped from 3 percent of GNP in 1964 to 2.2 percent of GNP in 1978. In the same time period, Japan increased percent spent on research to 1.6 percent of its GNP.
IMO: D

OA:
Frobisher, a sixteenth-century English explorer, had soil samples from Canada's Kodlunarn Island examined for gold content. Because high gold content was reported, Elizabeth I funded two mining expeditions. Neither expedition found any gold there. Modern analysis of the island's soil indicates a very low gold content. Thus the methods used to determine the gold content of Frobisher's samples must have been inaccurate.
(E) Gold was not added to the soil samples collected by Frobisher before the samples were examined.
Passengers must exit airplanes swiftly after accidents, since gases released following accidents are toxic to humans and often explode soon after being released. In order to prevent passenger deaths from gas
inhalation, safety officials recommend that passengers be provided with smoke hoods that prevent inhalation of the gases.
Which of the following, if true, constitutes the strongest reason not to require implementation of the safety officials' recommendation?
(A) Test evacuations showed that putting on the smoke hoods added considerably to the overall time it took passengers to leave the cabin.
(B) Some airlines are unwilling to buy the smoke hoods because they consider them to be prohibitively expensive.
(C) Although the smoke hoods protect passengers from the toxic gases, they can do nothing to prevent the gases from igniting.
(D) Some experienced flyers fail to pay attention to the safety instructions given on every commercial flight before takeoff.
(E) In many airplane accidents, passengers who were able to reach emergency exits were overcome by toxic gases before they could exit the ariplane.

I think so because its mentioned that the effect of gases were the main reason for this action while if the passengers can escape that the point is baseless.....sounds weird but that is how its should be...btw nice question.

Passengers must exit airplanes swiftly --> gases are toxic to humans and often explode soon. So, any safety measure which delays the exit is not a good method.
IMO: A
A is the right answer...!!!

a...................
The argument states that the passengers should leave the plane as soon as possible because of possibility of inhalation of toxic gases and the possibility of their ignition.
If passengers take more time to escape, as in A, they become more susceptible to fire... HTH...
