Q.Several carefully conducted studies showed that 95 percent of strict vegetarians reached age 50 without developing serious heart disease. We can conclude from this that avoiding meat increases ones chances of avoiding serious heart disease. Therefore, people who want to reduce the risk of serious heart disease should not eat meat.
The flawed pattern of reasoning exhibited by which one of the following is most similar to that exhibited by the argument above?
(A) The majority of people who regularly drive over the speed limit will become involved in traffic accidents. To avoid harm to people who do not drive over the speed limit, we should hire more police officers to enforce the speed laws.
(B) Studies have shown that cigarette smokers have a greater chance of incurring heart disease than people who do not smoke. Since cigarette smoking increases ones chances of incurring heart disease, people who want to try to avoid heart disease should give up cigarette smoking.
(C) The majority of people who regularly drink coffee experience dental problems in the latter part of their lives. Since there is this correlation between drinking coffee and incurring dental problems, the government should make coffee less accessible to the general public.
(D) Studies show that people who do not exercise regularly have a shorter life expectancy than those who exercise regularly. To help increase their patients life expectancy, doctors should recommend regular exercise to their patients.
(E) Most people who exercise regularly are able to handle stress. This shows that exercising regularly decreases ones chances of being overwhelmed by stress. So people who want to be able to handle stress should regularly engage in exercise.
My ans is in bold.
Pls post the OA.

As most of you got it correct, OA is Option-E.

QIn the first half of this year, from January to June, about three million videocassette recorders were sold. This number is only 35 percent of the total number of videocassette recorders sold last year. Therefore, total sales of videocassette recorders will almost certainly be lower for this year than they were for last year.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion above?
(A) The total number of videocassette recorders sold last year was lower than the total number sold in the year before that.
(B) Most people who are interested in owning a videocassette recorder have already purchased one.
(C) Videocassette recorders are less expensive this year than they were last year.
(D) Of the videocassette recorders sold last year, almost 60 percent were sold in January.
(E) Typically, over 70 percent of the sales of videocassette recorders made in a year occur in the months of November and December.

- An unbiased observer of everyday encounters in Western societies would surely not find many instances of unkindness by people under 65 toward people over 65. There are undoubtedly incidents of unkindness based on age, and these warrant reproof. However, the very fact that such reproof occurs and is generally accepted implies that our Western societies basically respect the elderly. The same conclusion can be drawn from a recent survey finding: 71 percent of the under 65 population agreed with the statement that people over 65 receive too little respect from society, while only 44 percent of the over-65 population, the target of the alleged irreverence agreed with it.
The author concludes that Western societies basically respect the elderly partly because
(A) people under 65 are just as kind to people over 65 as they are to people of their own age group
(B) survey data suggest that fewer people over 65 than under 65 get too little respect
(C) disrespect for the elderly does not go so far as to result in actual harm
(D) survey data suggest that people over 65 are more aware of incidents involving disrespect to the elderly than are people under 65
(E) incidents of unkindness to the elderly are neither common nor generally accepted in Western societies
- If the artificial is not better than the natural, to what end are all the arts of life? To dig, to plow, to build, to wear clothesall are direct violations of the injunction to follow nature.
Which one of the following is an assumption made by the author of the passage?
(A) The arts of life have no useful end.
(B) The artificial is not better than the natural.
(C) Digging, plowing, building, and wearing clothes are better than nature.
(D) The injunction to follow nature should not be violated.
(E) The arts of life are indirect means of following nature.
- If the city council institutes new parking regulations, city revenues will surely increase, since studies have conclusively shown that, if such parking regulations are put into effect, there is an increase in parking violations, and an increase in parking violations will result in a greater number of parking fines collected.
Which one of the following is closest, in terms of its logical features, to the reasoning used in the argument above?
(A) Last years increase in revenues can be easily explained. That was the year the city council instituted new parking regulations. No doubt the new law brought with it an increase in the number of parking violations.
(B) If taxes were increased, this act would naturally result in increased revenues for the city, and increased revenues would make some desirable social programs possible. So, if taxes were increased, some desirable social programs would become possible.
(C) Henry says that, if the city council goes into closed session, an important matter of personnel policy is being discussed. However, no personnel matters were discussed at the council meeting, so if Henry is right, the council did not go into closed session.
(D) All cars parked on the north side of the street were ticketed last night, and the same cars were towed away this morning. So beware! A car ticketed in this city also gets towed away.
(E) Allen says that, if the city council institutes new parking regulations, it is unlikely that revenues for the city will increase. If Allen is right, then the parking regulation plan should not be instituted.
- Most discussions of the factors contributing to improvements in public health greatly underestimate the influence of the values held by individuals. This influence is indicated by the fact that the astonishing decline in mortality from infectious disease during the past century was primarily due to an improvement in living conditions. To a substantial degree, these improvements depended on the emphasis by an increasing share of the population on cleanliness, prudence, and moderation.
The main point of the passage is made primarily by
(A) analyzing existing data on medical practices and health outcomes
(B) presenting a set of related cause-and-effect assertions
(C) applying several general principles to a specific case
(D) presenting a general observation and supporting it with several specific examples

1.E.
2.C.
3.B.
4.B.
My ans for the above CR are
1.(E) incidents of unkindness to the elderly are neither common nor generally accepted in Western societies
2. (E) The arts of life are indirect means of following nature.
3. (B) If taxes were increased, this act would naturally result in increased revenues for the city, and increased revenues would make some desirable social programs possible. So, if taxes were increased, some desirable social programs would become possible.

Hi Guys,
The correct answers are:
- E
- C
- B
- B
Kindly post your reasoning and line of thought, which is more critical
Can someone solve this...
The geese that gather at the pond of a large corporation create a hazard for executives who use the corporate helicopter, whose landing site is 40 feet away from the pond. To solve the problem, the corporation plans to import a large number of herding dogs to keep the geese away from the helicopter.
Which of the following, if a realistic possibility, would cast the most serious doubt on the prospects for success of the corporation's plan?
(A) The dogs will form an uncontrollable pack.
(B) The dogs will require training to learn to herd the geese.
(C) The dogs will frighten away foxes that prey on old and sick geese.
(D) It will be necessary to keep the dogs in quarantine for 30 days after importing them.
(E) Some of the geese will move to the pond of another corporation in order to avoid being herded by the dogs.
Can someone solve this...-Well, its nice if it happens but, but it supports...idea is not to support
The geese that gather at the pond of a large corporation create a hazard for executives who use the corporate helicopter, whose landing site is 40 feet away from the pond. To solve the problem, the corporation plans to import a large number of herding dogs to keep the geese away from the helicopter. - Conclusion
Because
The geese that gather at the pond of a large corporation create a hazard for executives who use the corporate helicopter, whose landing site is 40 feet away from the pond
Which of the following, if a realistic possibility, would cast the most serious doubt on the prospects for success of the corporations plan?
(A) The dogs will form an uncontrollable pack.
(B) The dogs will require training to learn to herd the geese. - Doesn't make any sense
(C) The dogs will frighten away foxes that prey on old and sick geese. -
(D) It will be necessary to keep the dogs in quarantine for 30 days after importing them. - Doesn't related to any argument
(E) Some of the geese will move to the pond of another corporation in order to avoid being herded by the dogs.
So call between A/C..
Look at A) if it happens, it will not solve the purpose...hence directly attacks the conclusion..

Which of the following, if a realistic possibility, would cast the most serious doubt on the prospects for success of the corporation's plan?
(A) The dogs will form an uncontrollable pack.
(B) The dogs will require training to learn to herd the geese. Herding dogs means they are trained, hence a redundant option..
(C) The dogs will frighten away foxes that prey on old and sick geese. we do not know whether Old and sick geese are dangerous or the young ones, moreover, Foxes are not discussed
(D) It will be necessary to keep the dogs in quarantine for 30 days after importing them. Time is not a major issue as URGENCY is not stressed in the question
(E) Some of the geese will move to the pond of another corporation in order to avoid being herded by the dogs. It strengthens rather than weakens
My Take is (A)

This is a repeat problem. already discussed on page 7.
Answer is A

Can someone explain the approach for this question:
School children who are punished by their teachers for not paying attention are, nevertheless, caught again and again for inattention. On the other hand, children punished for cheating during tests usually do not repeat the punished behavior. It appears that while punishment is ineffective in changing the behavior of inattentive children, it does convince cheaters that their behavior was wrong and that they should not cheat anymore.
This conclusion would be weakened the most by which of the following?
A) Known cheaters are usually reseated in the back of the class by themselves.
B) Studies indicate that cheaters are seldom punished by their teachers.
C) The proportion of inattentive students punished for their inattentiveness is larger than the proportion of cheaters punished for their cheating.
D) Cheaters whose punishment is reduced go back to cheating somewhat more than cheaters who undergo their entire punishment.
E) Cheaters are not usually inattentive, and inattentive students seldom cheat.
good one.. I would have marked option E.. lemme know the OA and I shall try to share an explanation.. ;)

E) Cheaters are not usually inattentive, and inattentive students seldom cheat.
my take on this..
A -- irrelevant
B--This fully throws doubt on the evidence and thus the conclusion...
C--not relevant
D--this throws doubt but not as much as in B
E--This segregates the two classes of people under discussion. This is for the motion.
I will go with B..

A) Known cheaters are usually reseated in the back of the class by themselves. Out -of scope (don't confuse that intent would be cheating)
B) Studies indicate that cheaters are seldom punished by their teachers. _ Weakens, but not hitting the conclusion
C) The proportion of inattentive students punished for their inattentiveness is larger than the proportion of cheaters punished for their cheating. - Supports
D) Cheaters whose punishment is reduced go back to cheating somewhat more than cheaters who undergo their entire punishment. - Weakens
E) Cheaters are not usually inattentive, and inattentive students seldom cheat.
=> Cheaters are attentive + inattentive student does not cheat, means there is no ovefrlap in 2 set of students....(Trap game)
First find out as what is the conclusion....its marked in the bold
IMO - B
OA pls?

A) Known cheaters are usually reseated in the back of the class by themselves.
out of scope, there is no mention of how the students are seated in the stem
B) Studies indicate that cheaters are seldom punished by their teachers.
this means that a lot of cheaters go unpunished, thus cheaters must be repeating their mistake, however aren't caught/punished. This weakens the statement that cheaters who are punished don't repeat cheating.
C) The proportion of inattentive students punished for their inattentiveness is larger than the proportion of cheaters punished for their cheating.
this doesn't answer why inattentive students who are punished repeat their mistake while cheaters don't
D) Cheaters whose punishment is reduced go back to cheating somewhat more than cheaters who undergo their entire punishment.
same as C, doesnt answer/weaken the stem. It is just a comparison within cheaters
E) Cheaters are not usually inattentive, and inattentive students seldom cheat.
this doesn't weaken stem, adds to it
OA pls?
I feel like choosing A
Please post the OA.
