  Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

  (A) The timber used for construction purposes in ancient times was made from very old trees.

  (B) The timber that was used in ancient building construction had not, prior to being used in the construction of the buildings, lain unused for an indeterminable amount of time.

  3.Color-tinting of movies originally photographed in black-and-white is inappropriate.Hundreds of the original artistic choices would have been made differently had these movies been filmed in color.Lighting on the sets of these movies was arranged to make highlights and shadows look right in black-and-white.

  Which of the following claims, if substituted for the claim about the lighting of movie sets, would lend the same type of support to the argument above?

  (A) An important part of what gives these movies their identity is the result of the black-and-white format.

  (B) Color film would have better captured the film-makers&apos intentions.

  (C) Color film is superior to black-and-white film for making movies.

  4.In Borkland, university scholarship stipends worth $4.2 million were unclaimed last year because several scholarship programs attracted no applicants who met the programs&apos qualifying criteria.This is an egregious waste of funds in a country where thousands of promising students each year cannot afford tuition.Qualifying criteria for those scholarships, therore, should be revised.

  Which of the following, if true about Borkland, most strongly supports the conclusion drawn above?

  (A) Many scholarships are unclaimed not because their qualifying criteria are too restrictive but because the scholarship programs rarely announce the scholarships&apos availability.

  (B) Because of inflation, the stipends offered by certain scholarship programs now appear less attractive to potential applicants than they did when they were first offered.

  (C) A significant number of scholarship programs awarded all of their available scholarship stipends last year, yet most of those programs have very restrictive qualifying criteria.

  (D) Certain scholarship programs accept applications only from students enrolled in specific major fields of study, but Borkland&aposs universities no longer offer courses in the fields specified by many of those programs.

  (E) Several scholarship programs have found it impossible to revise their qualifying criteria without engaging in lengthy and costly legal proceedings.

  5.In Diersville the new Environmental Action party won two seats on the seven-member town council in 1988.It lost both of those seats in the 1992 election,even though the party&aposs pro-environment platform had essentially remained unchanged.This decline in the party&aposs fortunes clearly demonstrates that in Diersville environmental concerns faded in significance between 1988 and 1992.

  (E) Between 1988 and 1992, some measures intended to benit the environment had been adopted by the town council, but with inconclusive results.

  6.The United States is not usually thought of as a nation of parakeet lovers.Yet in a census of parakeet owners in selected comparable countries, the United States ranked second, with eleven parakeet owners per hundred people.The conclusion can be drawn from this that people in the United States are more likely to own parakeets than are people in most other countries.

  Knowledge of which of the following would be most usul in judging the accuracy of the conclusion?

  (A) The number of parakeets in the United States.

  (B) The number of parakeet owners in the United States.

  (C) The number of parakeet owners per hundred people in the country that ranked first in the census.

In 1984, however, ibuprofen was expected to account for fifteen percent of all nonprescription pain-reliever sales.On that basis business experts predicted for 1984 a corresponding fifteen percent decrease in the combined sales of aspirin and acetaminophen.

  (C) Bore 1984 ibuprofen was available only as a prescription medicine.

  (D) The companies that manufacture and sell aspirin and acetaminophen would not also manufacture and sell ibuprofen.

  (E) The introduction of ibuprofen would not increase total sales of nonprescription pain reliever.

  8. New regulations in Mullentown require manufacturers there to develop five-year pollution-reduction plans. The regulations require that each manufacturer develop a detailed plan for reducing its released pollutants by at least 50 percent.

  Which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument?

  (B) Detailed plans would reveal that measures to reduce released pollutants would also reduce manufacturers&apos costs for materials, waste disposal, and legal services

  (C) Pollutants that manufacturing processes create but that are not released directly into the environment must nonetheless be collected and prepared for disposal

  (D) Any reductions in pollutants released from Mullentown&aposs manufacturing plants would not be noticeable for at least five years.

  (E) Each manufacturer will be required to submit its plan to a committee appointed by Mullentown&aposs officials.

  10. In the United States, the financing of industrial research by private industrial firms remained steady as a percentage of sales during the period between 1968 and 1978 (after correcting for inflation). But slowdowns in the growth of industrial productivity also occurred during that period, a fact that rutes the notion that the growth of industrial productivity is directly proportional to the amount invested in industrial research.

  Which of the following, if true for the United States,most weakens the argument above?

  (A) Federal funds, which constituted a significant portion of the support for industrial research from 1968 to 1978, fell annually and substantially during that period.

  (B) The inflation that occurred between 1968 and 1978 was more severe than leading economists had expected.

  (E) Corporate financing of industrial research increased in several of the years immediately following 1978 (after correcting for inflation)

  11. Although many brands of gasoline are sold on Haibei Island, gasoline companies there get all of the rined gasoline they sell from Haibei seaport&aposs only storage tank, which is always rilled with the same quality of gasoline.
