76. School superintendent: It is a sad fact that, until now, entry into the academically best high school in our district has been restricted to the children of people who were wealthy enough to pay the high tuition. Parents who were previously denied the option of sending their children to this school now have this option since I am replacing the tuition requirement with a requirement that allows only those who live in the neighbourhood of the school to attend.
The superintendent's claim about the effect of replacing the tuition requirement relies on the assumption that
(A) the residents of the school's neighbourhood tend to be wealthy
(B) people other than those wealthy enough to have paid the old tuition are able to live in the neighbourhood of the school.
(C) people less wealthy than those who were able to pay the old tuition are in the majority in the district.
(D) there are no high schools in the district other than the one referred to by the superintendent.
(E) there are many people not wealthy enough to have paid the old tuition who wish to have their children attend the school.
79. Dr. Schilling: Those who advocate replacing my country's private health insurance system with nationalized health insurance because of the rising costs of medical care fail to consider the high human costs that consumers pay in countries with nationalized insurance: access to high-technology medicine is restricted and kidney transplants and open-heart surgery is rationed. People are denied their right to treatments they want and need.
Dr. Laforte: Your country's reliance on private health insurance denies access even to basic, conventional medicine to the many people who cannot afford adequate health coverage. With nationalized insurance, rich and poor have equal access to life-saving medical procedures, and people's right to decent medical treatment regardless of income is not violated.
Dr. Schilling's and Dr. Laforte's statements provide the most support for holding that they would disagree about the truth of which one of the following?
(A) People's rights are violated less when they are denied an available medical treatment they need because they lack the means to pay for it than when they are denied such treatment on noneconomic grounds.
(B) Where health insurance is provided by private insurance companies, people who are wealthy generally receive better health care than do people who are unable to afford health insurance.
(C) In countries that rely primarily on private health insurance to pay for medical costs, most people who would benefit from a kidney transplant receive one.
(D) In countries with nationalized health insurance, no one who needs a familiar medical treatment in order to stay alive is denied that treatment.
(E) Anyone who wants a particular medical treatment has a right to receive that treatment.
90. Many Ann: Our country should above all, be strong. Strength gains the respect of other countries and makes a country admirable. Inez: There are many examples in history of countries that were strong but used their strength to commit atrocities. We should judge a country by the morality of its actions, not by its strength. If the actions are morally good, the country is admirable.
Which one of the following is a presupposition that underlies Inez' argument?
(A) At least one country is admirable
(B) Countries cannot be both strong and moral
(C) It is possible to assign moral weight to the actions of countries
(D) The citizens of any country does is good
(E) Countries should impose their standards of morality on other countries by whatever means necessary
