hi Riva
I think you are right on this one..
(D) it is !!
Hi Riya & varun, I didn't get how u have eliminated option (E) .
I go with option E ..

Hi All,
Please let me know how to go about the following problem. There are three of them I will be posting them in three seperate post.
Teresa: Manned spaceflight does not have a future, since it cannot compete economically with other means of accomplishing the objectives of spaceflight.
Edward: No mode of human transportation has a better record of reliability: two accidents in twenty-five years. Thus manned spaceflight definitely has a positive future.
Which of the following is the best logical evaluation of Edwards argument as a response to Teresas argument?
(A) It cites evidence that, if true, tends to disprove the evidence cited by Teresa in drawing her conclusion.
(B) It indicates a logical gap in the support that Teresa offers for her conclusion.
(C) It raises a consideration that outweighs the argument Teresa makes.
(D) It does not meet Teresas point because it assumes that there is no serious impediment to transporting people into space, but this was the issue raised by Teresa.
(E) It fails to respond to Teresas argument because it does not address the fundamental issue of whether space activities should have priority over other claims on the national budget.
19. Black Americans are, on the whole, about twice as likely as White Americans to develop high blood pressure. This likelihood also holds for westernized Black Africans when compared to White Africans.
Researchers have hypothesized that this predisposition in westernized Blacks may reflect an interaction between western high-salt diets and genes that adapted to an environmental scarcity of salt.
Which of the following statements about present-day, westernized Black Africans, if true, would most tend to confirm the researchers' hypothesis?
(A) The blood pressures of those descended from peoples situated throughout their history in Senegal and Gambia, where salt was always available, are low.
(B) The unusually high salt consumption in certain areas of Africa represents a serious health problem.
(C) Because of their blood pressure levels, most White Africans have markedly decreased their salt consumption.
(D) Blood pressures are low among the Yoruba, who, throughout their history, have been situated far inland from sources of sea salt and far south of Saharan salt mines.
(E) No significant differences in salt metabolism have been found between those people who have had salt available throughout their history and those who have not.

Meteorologists say that if only they could design an accurate mathematical model of the atmosphere with all its complexities, they could forecast the weather with real precision. But this is an idle boast, immune to any evaluation, for any inadequate weather forecast would obviously be blamed on imperfections in the model.
Which of the following, if true, would cast the most serious doubt on the meteorologists boast, aside from the doubt expressed in the passage above?
(A) The amount of energy that the Earth receives from the Sun is monitored closely and is known not to be constant.
(B) Volcanic eruptions, the combustion of fossil fuels, and several other processes that also cannot be quantified with any accuracy are known to have a significant and continuing impact on the constitution of the atmosphere.
(C) As current models of the atmosphere are improved, even small increments in complexity will mean large increases in the number of computers required for the representation of the models.
(D) Frequent and accurate data about the atmosphere collected at a large number of points both on and above the ground are a prerequisite for the construction of a good model of the atmosphere.
(E) With existing models of the atmosphere, large scale weather patterns can be predicted with greater accuracy than can relatively local weather patterns.

Teresa is talking about economic considerations..whereas Edward is talking about safety/reliability.. cleary out of sync response..
answer must be option D

Argument:
Black Americans are, on the whole, about twice as likely as White Americans to develop high blood pressure. This likelihood also holds for westernized Black Africans when compared to White Africans
Hypothesis:
The predisposition of high BP westernized Blacks may be outcome of an interaction between western high-salt diets and genes that adapted to an environmental scarcity of salt.
what confirm's the researchers hypothesis???
The fact that its purly bcoz the black africans come from places of less salt and their genes are not accustomed to salt levels in american food.
option D points it out correclty;
(D) Blood pressures are low among the Yoruba, who, throughout their history, have been situated far inland from sources of sea salt and far south of Saharan salt mines.

option B

plz share the OAs for all 3 questions u posted above.. thanks!! ;)

My ans is option C

(E) It fails to respond to Teresas argument because it does not address the fundamental issue of whether space activities should have priority over other claims on the national budget.
IMO: Option D
Teresa's stance: Economic considerations
Edward's position: Reliability/Safety.
Not A - because Edward's position has no evidence against Teresa's
Not B - because E does not support T's
Not C - because E has a totally independent stance
D - Is correct because, although it talks of "transportation of people into space+ - a future stretch, there is a serious impeding factor of $$ involved.
E- A very close one which suits right to the most part, except that national budget is out of scope.

(E) With existing models of the atmosphere, large scale weather patterns can be predicted with greater accuracy than can relatively local weather patterns.
IMO : Option B
Meteorologist Boast: " If only I can make an IDEAL math model which will include everything about Atmosphere, I can predict weather"
Assumption: " My model is fool proof and totally accurate, given the input data has everything about atmosphere" & "My input data covers everything"
A - Way out of scope
B - Correct, because, even if everything is in order with respect to data and the model, these Dynamic factors which cannot be Quantified, make the data/model incomplete.
C- It says we require larger computers, does NOT say we cannot provide them. Gap in the logic. May be I have 10 Billion for the next 10 years to get these computers?
D - Need diff types of data, does not tell me whether I can/cannot get it. Again Gap in Logic.
E - Large scale vs Small Scale, out of scope.

I agree with nuttyvarun. Option D is perfect.
Well I would go for Option D,because Edward assume that people will travel to space,,but theresa's argue that travelling is expensive. Edward take in to consideration that life is more imp than money,but one should hav money to travel so D is best option

My answer is Option D,,,as it describe a situation where people living away from salty environment has low BP

My take on below CR is option D
Teresa: Manned spaceflight does not have a future, since it cannot compete........
My take for the below CR is option D
Black Americans are, on the whole, about twice .........
My take on the below CR is option D
Meteorologists say that if only they could design..........
IMO : Option B

I will also go with B ,
" If only I can make an IDEAL math model which will include everything about Atmosphere, I can predict weather" .
B Says that the IDEAL model creation it self is not possible.

My vote is for Option: D
Here for the success of Model accurate data is required and model is the center for predictions.
My vote is for Option: D

My take is C for the meterological one.
thats is the only limitation under which its tough to make model.
