In the past, most children who went sledding in the winter snow in verland used wooden sleds with runners and steering bars. Ten years ago, smooth plastic sleds became popular; they go faster than wooden sleds but are harder to steer and slow. The concern that plastic sleds are more dangerous is clearly borne out by the fact that the number of children injured while sledding was much higher last winter than it was 10 years ago.
Which of the following, if true in verland, most seriously undermines the force of the evidence cited?
1. A few children still use traditional wooden sleds.
2. Very few children wear any kind of protective gear, such as helmets, while sledding.
3. Plastic sleds can be used in a much wider variety of snow conditions than wooden sleds can.
4. Most sledding injuries occur when a sled collides with a tree, a rock, or another sled.
5. Because the traditional wooden sleds can carry more than one rider, an accident involving a wooden sled can result in several children being injured.
plz explain wd answer
Since GE reached their end of quarter goals for sales of new turbines, GE directors have stopped questioning the bold new design changes recently incorporated in the new turbine. Directors argue that the new turbine has been bought by all major engine manufacturers, so these design changes must be worth the incremental costs. However, major engine manufacturers always purchase any new engine design for evaluation. The mere initial purchase is not a guarantee that they will use the design in their products.
In the above argument, the two bold face portions play which of the following roles?
A. The first is evidence to support a conclusion; the second is a reason for questioning that support.
B. The first is evidence to support a conclusion; the second provides another conclusion which is the main conclusion for the passage.
C. The first is a position taken by GE directors; the second is a position taken by the author of the argument.
D. The first is the evidence used to support a conclusion; the second is the position taken by the author of the argument.
E. The first and second are opposing premises, both of which cannot be true simultaneously.
"The new HitItFar driver is the only golf club that uses space-age Titanium-Kryptonium alloy to strengthen its head. This driver is SO good, the last 12 winners of the major tour championships have all recently switched to it! Isn't it time for you to add power to your swing and distance to your drives? Trade in your old driver today - and HitItFar tomorrow!"
All of the following claims are either implied or made explicitly in the above advertisement EXCEPT:
A. Switching to the HitItFar driver will improve your play.
B. The HitItFar driver helped the last 12 major championship winners achieve their victory.
C. Major championship winners are experts and know what constitutes a great golf club.
D. Your existing driver is inferior to the HitItFar driver.
E. Only HitItFar golf clubs have Titanium-Kryptonium alloy in the head of their drivers.
A certain baseball team has just completed its season. In stadiums that seat 20,000 or fewer people, the team averaged 1 home run per game; in stadiums that seat between 20,000 and 40,000 people, the team averaged 2 home runs per game; and, in stadiums that seat 40,000 or more people, the team averaged 3 home runs per game. Obviously, the excitement of playing in front of large crowds motivated the team to hit more home runs.
Assuming that all stadiums during the season were filled to capacity, which of the following, if true, most undermines the argument above?
A. The team's leading home run hitter hit more home runs in mid-sized stadiums than in large stadiums.
B. The fans in the larger stadiums often cheered against the team.
C. The team averaged only 2 home runs per game when playing in the league's largest stadium.
D. In order to create seating for the additional fans, the outfield walls in the larger stadiums were constructed closer to home base.
E. The team's announcer cited crowd noise as a major motivator for the team.
"Twelve years ago and again five years ago, there were extended periods when the Darfir Republic's currency, the pundra, was weak: its value was unusually low relative to the world's most stable currencies. Both times a weak pundra made Darfir's manufactured products a bargain on world markets, and Darfir's exports were up substantially. Now some politicians are saying that, in order to cause another similarly sized increase in exports, the government should allow the pundra to become weak again.
Which of the following, if true, provides the government with the strongest grounds to doubt that the politicians' recommendation, if followed, will achieve its aim?"
A) Several of the politicians now recommending that the pundra be allowed to become weak made that same recommendation before each of the last two periods of currency weakness.
B) After several decades of operating well below peak capacity, Darfir's manufacturing sector is now operating at near-peak levels.
C) The economy of a country experiencing a rise in exports will become healthier only if the country's currency is strong or the rise in exports is significant.
D) Those countries whose manufactured products compete with Darfir's on the world market all currently have stable currencies.
E) A sharp improvement in the efficiency of Darfir's manufacturing plants would make Darfir's products a bargain on world markets even without any weakening of the pundra relative to other currencies."
In the past ...five years, Peak Production's pro...ts from recorded music sales has steadily declined. Peak cannot increase the number of recordings it releases, so it cannot increase revenue that way. Therefore, Peak has decided to drastically cut back on the number of recordings it releases. It will save on costs by only releasing recordings by its most popular artists. Thus, because the most popular artists bring in the most revenue on a per-recording basis, Peak's plan is likely to increase its annual pro...ts.
In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
(A) The ...first and the second are both evidence offered by the argument as support for its main conclusion.
(B) The first presents a problem a response to which the argument assesses; the second is the judgment reached by that assessment.
(C) The ...first is the position the argument seeks to establish; the second is a judgment the argument uses to support that position.
(D) The first is a development that the argument seeks to explain; the second is a prediction the argument makes in support of the explanation it offers.
(E) The ...first presents a development whose likely outcome is at issue in the argument; the second is a judgment the argument uses in support of its conclusion about that outcome.
give explanation too.
Some species of Arctic birds are threatened by recent sharp increases in the population of snow geese, which breed in the Arctic and are displacing birds of less vigorous species. Although snow geese are a popular quarry for hunters in the southern regions where they winter, the hunting season ends if and when hunting has reduced the population by five percent, according to official estimates. Clearly, dropping this restriction would allow the other species to recover.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument?
(A) Hunting limits for snow geese were imposed many years ago in response to a sharp decline in the population of snow geese.
(B) It has been many years since the restriction led to the hunting season for snow geese being closed earlier than the scheduled date.
(C) The number of snow geese taken by hunters each year has grown every year for several years.
(D) As their population has increased, snow geese have recolonized wintering grounds that they had not used for several seasons.
(E) In the snow goose's winter habitats, the goose faces no significant natural predation.
Please explain it too.
When species are extensively hunted, individuals that reach reproductive maturity early make up a larger proportion of the population, because they have a better chance of reproducing. When species face diminished food resources, on the other hand, individuals tend to take longer to reach reproductive maturity. These considerations may help settle whether the primary cause of the gradual disappearance of North America's mastodons, prehistoric animals related to elephants, was diminished food resources or human hunting, since __________.
Which of the following most logically completes the reasoning?
A. from the location of certain hunting weapons in juxtaposition with mastodon remains, it is possible to determine whether those weapons were used to hunt mastodons.
B. the average age at which mastodons reached reproductive maturity can be established from mastodon tusks, of which there are many fossils dating from different periods
C. from the remains of mastodons already discovered, it can be accurately estimated when mastodons became extinct
D. from tusks and other bones, it is possible to determine whether male and female mastodons reached reproductive maturity at about same age
E. it is possible to determine whether earliest human dwellings constructed from mastodon tusks and bones come from an earlier period than the earliest hunting weapons unambiguously associated with mastodon remains.

The people of Prohibition land are considering banning the service of alcoholic beverages in restaurants to curb unruly behavior on the part of its residents. Proprietors of restaurants in Prohibitionland are protesting the ban on the grounds that it will reduce their revenues and profits. However, several provinces in Prohibitionland enacted restrictions on alcoholic beverages last year, and the sales taxes paid by the restaurants in those provinces rose by an average of 50 percent. In contrast, the sales taxes paid by restaurants located in areas of Prohibition land that did not have any restrictions rose by an average of 30 percent.
Which of the following, if true, supports the restaurant proprietors' economic stance against the ban?
A)In the provinces that restricted alcoholic beverages, there was a short-term negative impact on restaurant visitation in the beginning of last year.
b)The sales tax in Prohibitionland is lower on food and beverages than it is on other consumer goods, such as clothing.
c)The consumption of alcoholic beverages in Prohibitionland has been on a gradual decline the last 20 years.
d)The restrictions on alcoholic beverages enacted last year allowed for the service of drinks beginning around dinnertime each evening.
e)Overall sales tax revenue did not increase at a substantially higher rate in the provinces that enacted the restrictions on alcoholic beverages than in the rest of Prohibition land last year.

STATEMENT: a combination of factors have seen the sales volume of the top 25 listed real estate companies almost halved to about 11.8 million sq feet in the quarter ended sep-2013.It was 20.73 million sq feet in the year ago same period.
Which of the following would be the probable REASON for the slump in the real estate business.
1-Housing is not a problem in india now a days and every family has got a dwelling unit.
2-the real estate companies have increased the profit margin and hence sales have come down.
3-high cost of funds have dried up liquidity for the cash-starved companies,which in turn log jammed the construction activity in india.
4-residental an commercial units are being developed at a faster rate in comparison to actual demand.
5-the faulty housing policy of the govt is an impediment to the real estate market.
For years the
beautiful Renaissance buildings in Palitito have been damaged by exhaust from
the many tour buses that come to the city.
There has been little parking space, so most buses have idled at the
curb during each stop on their tour, and idling produces as much exhaust as
driving. The city has now provided
parking that accommodates a third of the tour buses, so damage to Palitito's
buildings from the buses' exhaust will diminish significantly.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument?
- More tourists come to Palitito by tour bus than by any other single means of transportation.
- Tour buses typically spend less than one-quarter of the time they are in Palitito transporting passengers from one site to another.
- The exhaust from Palitito’s few automobiles is not a significant threat to Palitito’s buildings.
- Palitito’s Renaissance buildings are not threatened by pollution other than engine exhaust.
- Some of the tour buses that are unable to find parking drive around Palitito while their passengers are visiting a site.

- Per capita resource consumption in the United States is at an all-time high.
- The United States wastes resources.
- Curbing U.S. resource consumption will significantly retard world resource depletion.
- The United States imports most of the resources it uses.

With Proposition 13, if you bought your house 11 years ago for $75,000, your property tax would be approximately $914 a year (1 percent of $75,000 increased by 2 percent each year for 11 years); and if your neighbor bought an identical house next door to you for $200,000 this year, his tax would be $2,000 (1 percent of $200,000). Without Proposition 13, both you and your neighbor would pay $6,000 a year in property taxes (3 percent of $200,000).
Which of the following is the conclusion for which the author most likely is arguing in the passage above?
- If Proposition 13 is not repealed, identical properties will continue to be taxed at different rates.
- Proposition 13 is unconstitutional because it imposes an unequal tax on properties of equal value.
- If Proposition 13 is repealed, every homeowner is likely to experience a substantial increase in property taxes.
- By preventing inflation from driving up property values, Proposition 13 has saved homeowners thousands of dollars in property taxes.
- Proposition 13 has benefited some homeowners more than others.

Due to high jet fuel costs, airline carriers are looking for new ways to increase revenues and thereby counteract
declining profits. Airline A has proposed increasing the number of passengers that can fit on its airplanes by
creating several standing room only “seats” in which passengers would be propped against a padded backboard
and held in place with a harness. This proposal, since it relates to passenger safety, cannot be implemented
without prior approval by the Federal Aviation Administration. The above statements, if true, indicate that Airline
A has made which of the following conclusions?
