Q 51: It would cost Rosetown one million dollars to repair all of its roads. In the year after completion of those repairs, however, Rosetown would thereby avoid incurring three million dollars worth of damages, since currently Rosetown pays that amount annually in compensation for damage done to cars each year by its unrepaired roads. Which of the following, if true, gives the strongest support to the argument above?

Communities bordering on Rosetown also pay compensation for damage done to cars by their unrepaired roads.
After any Rosetown road has been repaired several years will elapse before that road begins to damage cars.
Rosetown would need to raise additional taxes if it were to spen
The degree of damage caused to Rosetown’s roads by harsh weather can vary widely from year to year.
Trucks cause much of the wear on Rosetown’s roads, but owners of cars file almost all of the claims for compensation for damage caused by unrepaired roads.

Q 53: Demographers doing research for an international economics newsletter claim that the average per capita income in the country of Kuptala is substantially lower than that in the country of Bahlton. They also claim, however, that whereas poverty is relatively rare in Kuptala, over half the population of Bahlton lives in extreme poverty. At least one of the demographers' claims must, therefore, be wrong. The argument above is most vulnerable to which of the following criticisms?

It rejects an empirical claim about the average per capita incomes in the two countries without making any attempt to discredit that claim by offering additional economic evidence.
It treats the vague term "poverty" as though it had a precise and universally accepted meaning.
It overlooks the possibility that the number of people in the two countries who live in poverty could be the same even though the percentages of the two populations that live in poverty differ markedly.
It fails to show that wealth and poverty have the same social significance in Kuptala as in Bahlton.
It does not consider the possibility that incomes in Kuptala, unlike those in Bahlton, might all be very close to the country's average per capita income.

Q 54: A pharmaceutical company developed a new diuretic reported to cause fewer side effects than their old diuretic, which was still being manufactured. During the first year that both were sold, the earlier medication far outsold the new one; the manufacturer thus concluded that reducing side effects was not the customers' primary consideration. Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the manufacturer’s conclusion?

Both hospitals and patients buy diuretics from this pharmaceutical company.
Many customers consider older medications a better safety risk than new ones, since more is usually known about the safety of the earlier drugs.
Many customers of this pharmaceutical company also bought medications from companies who did not produce new diuretics reported to cause fewer side effects.
The newer diuretic can be used by all the patients who could use the earlier diuretic.
There was no significant difference in price between the newer diuretic and the earlier diuretic.


Q 55: Some species of dolphins find their prey by echolocation; they emit clicking sounds and listen for echoes returning from distant objects in the water. Marine biologists have speculated that those same clicking sounds might have a second function: particularly loud clicks might be used by the dolphins to stun their prey at close range through sensory overload. Which of the following, if discovered to be true, would cast the most serious doubt on the correctness of the speculation described above?

Dolphins that use echolocation to locate distant prey also emit frequent clicks at intermediate distances as they close in on their prey.
The usefulness of echolocation as a means of locating prey depends on the clicking sounds being of a type that the prey is incapable of perceiving, regardless of volume.
If dolphins stun their prey, the effect is bound to be so temporary that stunning from far away, even if possible, would be ineffective.
Echolocation appears to give dolphins that use it information about the richness of a source of food as well as about its direction.
The more distant a dolphin's prey, the louder the echolocation clicks must be if they are to reveal the prey's presence to the hunting dolphin.
