1). Nonetheless, Tocqueville was only one of the first of a long line of thinkers to worry whether such rough equality could survive in the face of a growing factory system that threatened to create divisions between industrial workers and a new business elite.
2)."The government of democracy brings the nation of political rights to the level of the humblest citizens. He wrote ," Just as the dissemination of wealth brings the notion of property within the reach of all the members of the community".
3). Tocqueville was far too shrewd an observer to be uncritical about the US, but his verdict was fundamentally positive.
4). No visitor to the US left a more enduring record of his travels and observations than the French writer and political theorist Alexis de Tocqueville, whose 'Democracy in America', first published in 1835, remains one of the most trenchant and insightful analyses of American social and political practises

One type of violation of the antitrust laws is the abuse of monopoly power. Monopoly power is the ability of a firm to raise its prices above the competitive level—that is, above the level that would exist naturally if several firms had to compete—without driving away so many customers as to make the price increase unprofitable. In order to show that a firm has abused monopoly power, and thereby violated t he antitrust laws, two essential facts must be established. First, a firm must be shown to possess monopoly power, and second, that power must have been used to exclude competition in the monopolized market or related markets.
The price a firm may charge for its product is constrained by the availability of close substitutes for the product. If a firm attempts to charge a higher price—a supracompetitive price—consumers will turn to other firms able to supply substitute products at competitive prices. If a firm provides a large percentage of the products actually or potentially available, however, customers may find it difficult to buy from alternative suppliers. Consequently, a firm with a large share of the relevant market of substitutable products may be able to raise its price without losing many customers. For this reason courts often use market share as a rough indicator of monopoly power.
Supracompetitive prices are associated with a loss of consumers' welfare because such prices force some consumers to buy a less attractive mix of products than they would ordinarily buy. Supracompetitive prices, however, do not themselves constitute an abuse of monopoly power. Antitrust laws do not attempt to counter the mere existence of monopoly power, or even the use of monopoly power to extract extraordinarily high profits. For example, a firm enjoying economies of scale—that is, low unit production costs due to high volume—does not violate the antitrust laws when it obtains a large market share by charging prices that are profitable but so low that its smaller rivals cannot survive. If the antitrust laws posed disincentives to the existence and growth of such firms, the laws could impair consumers' welfare. Even if the firm, upon acquiring monopoly power, chose to raise prices in order to increase profits, it would not be in violation of the antitrust laws.
The antitrust prohibitions focus instead on abuses of monopoly power that exclude competition in the monopolized market or involve leverage—the use of power in one market to reduce competition in another. One such forbidden practice is a tying arrangement, in which a monopolist conditions the sale of a product in one market on the buyer's purchase of another product in a different market. For example, a firm enjoying a monopoly in the communications systems market might not sell its products to a consumer unless that customer also buys its computer systems, which are competing with other firms' computer systems.
The focus on the abuse of monopoly power, rather than on monopoly itself, follows from the primary purpose of the antitrust laws: to promote consumers' welfare through assurance of the quality and quantity of products available to consumers.
1. Which one of the following distinctions between monopoly power and the abuse of monopoly power would the author say underlies the antitrust laws discussed in the passage?
(A) Monopoly power is assessed in term of market share, whereas abuse of monopoly power is assessed in term of market control.
(B) Monopoly power is easy to demonstrate, whereas abuse of monopoly power is difficult to demonstrate.
(C) Monopoly power involves only one market, whereas abuse of monopoly power involves at least two or more related markets.
(D) Monopoly power is the ability to charge supraco mpetitive prices, whereas abuse of monopoly power is the use of that ability.
(E) Monopoly power does not necessarily hurt consumer welfare, whereas abuse of monopoly power does.
2. Would the use of leverage meet the criteria for abuse of monopoly power outlined in the first paragraph?
(A) No, because leverage involves a nonmonopolized market.
(B) No, unless the leverage involves a tying arrangement.
(C) Yes, because leverage is a characteristic of monopoly power.
(D) Yes, unless the firm using leverage is charging competitive prices.
(E) Yes, because leverage is used to eliminate competition in a related market.
3. What is the main purpose of the third paragraph (lines 28—47)?
(A) to distinguish between supracompetitive prices and supracompetitive p rofits
(B) to describe the positive use of monopoly power
(C) to introduce the concept of economies of scale
(D) to distinguish what is not covered by the antitrust law under discussion from what is covered
(E) to remind the reader of the issue of consu mers welfare
4. Given only the information in the passage, with which one of the following statements about competition would those responsible for the antitrust laws most likely agree?
(A) Competition is essential to consumers' welfare.
(B) There are acceptable and unacceptable ways for firms to reduce their competition.
(C) The preservation of competition is the principal aim of the antitrust laws.
(D) Supracompetitive prices lead to reductions in competition.
(E) Competition is necessary to ensure high-quality products at low prices.
5. Which one of the following sentences would best complete the last paragraph of the passage?
(A) By limiting consumers' choices, abuse of monopoly power reduces consumers' welfare, but monopoly alone can sometimes actually operate in the consumers' best interest.
(B) What is needed now is a set of related laws to deal with the negative impacts that monopoly itself has on consumers' ability to purchase products at reasonable cost.
(C) Over time, the antitrust laws ha ve been very effective in ensuring competition and, consequently, consumers' welfare in the volatile communications and computer systems industries.
(D) By controlling supracompetitive prices and corresponding supracompetitive profits, the antitrust laws have, indeed, gone a long way toward meeting that objective.
(E) As noted above, the necessary restraints on monopoly itself have been left to the market, where competitive prices and economies of scale are rewarded through increased market share

Hello All,
-Need Help.
RCs have been screwing me up big time.
-I'm reading editorials daily.
-Have completed word power made easy twice.
-Need some expert advice on how to handle RCs.
-Is the Arun Sharma verbal ability any good?
-My previous 2 scores in verbal section in AIMCATs are -3 and 7 respectively.
In the pursuit of that perfect VA score a lot of students tend to not focus on the big picture in the CAT. For example the average CAT aspirant will go hell for leather for Fill in the Blanks (FIB ), Word Usage (WU) , Commonly Confused Words ( CCW) and Sentence Correction (SC).
