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 corporations plan?
(A) The dogs will form an uncontrollable pack. which could interfere with the copter's landing.....and hence cast a doubt
(B) The dogs will require training to learn to herd the geese. but they could still keep the geese away from the copter... strengthens the conclusion
(C) The dogs will frighten away foxes that prey on old and sick geese. which will mean that there'll be more geese...
(D) It will be necessary to keep the dogs in quarantine for 30 days after importing them. out of scope (E) Some of the geese will move to the pond of another corporation in order to avoid being herded by the dogs. strengthens the conclusion
Am, confused between A & C...
I think I'll go with A b'coz the old geese anyways might not be a hazard.. as the landing field is 40km 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. If this happens, corps will be in a greater trouble than they already are in now. Will pick it as ans. (B) The dogs will require training to learn to herd the geese. Thats ok as long as dongs do their job succesfully. (C) The dogs will frighten away foxes that prey on old and sick geese. Old and sick geese should not be a trouble for the corp's copters. Besides we are not concerned about a specific type of geese. (D) It will be necessary to keep the dogs in quarantine for 30 days after importing them. Thats ok as long as dongs do their job succesfully. (E) Some of the geese will move to the pond of another corporation in order to avoid being herded by the dogs. Not a aforementioned corp's problem!! Let those geese trouble other corps. Who knows they might turn out to be competitors. Not a bad idea
Choi: All other factors being equal, children whose parents earned doctorates are more likely to earn a doctorate than children whose parents did not earn doctorates.
Hart: But consider this: over 70 percent of all doctorate holders do not have a parent that also holds a doctorate.
Which of the following would explain how both Hart and Choi could be correct in their assertions? a. Most doctorates who don't have a parent that also holds a doctorate have an aunt or uncle that holds a doctorate. b. Parental education is rarely the overriding factor in determining whether a person earns a doctorate or not. c. Both Hart and Choi fail to produce sufficient evidence to prove their cases. d. One man uses raw numbers while the other uses percents. e. Hart does not dispute Choi, but rather attempts to support his argument with additional evidence.

Most doctorates who don't have a parent that also holds a doctorate have an aunt or uncle that holds a doctorate. out of scope b. Parental education is rarely the overriding factor in determining whether a person earns a doctorate or not. this statement refutes the argument.. c. Both hart and choi fail to produce sufficient evidence to prove their cases. weakens the argument d. One man uses raw numbers while the other uses percents. this proves that both could be right. Reasoning : The percentage of parents holding a doctorate could be very less, but of those parents, most could have children with a doctorate. Which justifies that both statements could be correct e. Hart does not dispute choi, but rather attempts to support his argument with additional evidence. Hart doesn't support choi. He just provides a parallel piece of information.
Over the last five years, technological improvements have significantly reduced the cost of manufacturing and operating electric-powered cars. Nevertheless, the cost per gallon of gasoline at which it would become more economical to operate an electric car than a regular gas-powered car has remained unchanged.
Which of the following, if true, would do the most to explain why electric cars have become cheaper to operate but break-even point between electric and gas cars has not changed?
a. The price per gallon of gasoline has dropped by 25% over the last five years. b. Electric-car manufacturers have managed to reduce production costs despite an increase in some raw material prices. c. Improvements in aerodynamics have made regular gas-powered cars more efficient to operate. d. Relative to the number of gas-powered cars, there are very few electric cars on the road today. e. When the price of gasoline rises, more people are willing to take public transportation to work.

Which of the following, if true, would do the most to explain why electric cars have become cheaper to operate but break-even point between electric and gas cars has not changed?
a. The price per gallon of gasoline has dropped by 25% over the last five years. The percentage drop in the cost of electric car production is not known, so there is still a possibility that the reduced cost of elctric cars may outnumber the decline in the cost ofgasoline b. Electric-car manufacturers have managed to reduce production costs despite an increase in some raw material prices. This is a lateral argument & shows no relation between gasoline/electric cars c. Improvements in aerodynamics have made regular gas-powered cars more efficient to operate. The same can be true for electric cars d. Relative to the number of gas-powered cars, there are very few electric cars on the road today. This is also a lateral argument e. When the price of gasoline rises, more people are willing to take public transportation to work. Even when the price of gasoline goes high at a certain point passangers shift to the public transport & the transportation cost is reduced again, Hence the break even point is maintained

We have to find a reason as why the ratio of cost of gasolene ooperated car and electric efficient car is not incresing, though the electric car is becoming efficient..

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.

Argument:Punishment does not change the attitude of inattentive children but it does in case of children who get caught cheating!
What I feel weakens this would be: C) The proportion of inattentive students punished for their inattentiveness is larger than the proportion of cheaters punished for their cheating.
OA is B which I am not convinced with. Was hoping to get some explanation from you guys.
please hep me with this problem.

Because postage rates are rising, Home Decorator magazine plans to maximize its profits by reducing by one half the number of issues it publishes each year. The quality of articles, the number of articles published per year, and the subscription price will not change. Market research shows that neither subscribers nor advertisers will be lost if the magazine's plan is instituted.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest evidence that the magazine's profits are likely to decline if the plan is instituted?
(A) With the new postage rates, a typical issue under the proposed plan would cost about one-third more to mail than a typical current issue would. (B) The majority of the magazine's subscribers are less concerned about a possible reduction in the quantity of the magazine's articles than about a possible loss of the current high quality of its articles. (C) Many of the magazine's long-time subscribers would continue their subscriptions even if the subscription price were increased. (D) Most of the advertisers that purchase advertising space in the magazine will continue to spend the same amount on advertising per issue as they have in the past. (E) Production costs for the magazine are expected to remain stable.
A study of marital relationships in which one partner's sleeping and waking cycles differ from those of the other partner reveals that such couples share fewer activities with each other and have more violent arguments than do couples in a relationship in which both partners follow the same sleeping and waking patterns. Thus, mismatched sleeping and waking cycles can seriously jeopardize a marriage.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above?
(A) Married couples in which both spouses follow the same sleeping and waking patterns also occasionally have arguments than can jeopardize the couple's marriage. (B) The sleeping and waking cycles of individuals tend to vary from season to season. (C) The individuals who have sleeping and waking cycles that differ significantly from those of their spouses tend to argue little with colleagues at work. (D) People in unhappy marriages have been found to express hostility by adopting a different sleeping and waking cycle from that of their spouses. (E) According to a recent study, most people's sleeping and waking cycles can be controlled and modified easily.

Was a call between C/D..
so means if the number of issues are reduced, less money from advertisement...so profits will decline
A study of marital relationships in which one partners sleeping and waking cycles differ from those of the other partner reveals that such couples share fewer activities with each other and have more violent arguments than do couples in a relationship in which both partners follow the same sleeping and waking patterns. Thus, mismatched sleeping and waking cycles can seriously jeopardize a marriage. -Conclusion
So if we prove that any other thing can jeopardie a marriage OR marriage can disturb the waking cycle, we have an answer...
X causes Y.. Anyother thing can cause Y Y may cause X
Let's see.... Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above?
(A) Married couples in which both spouses follow the same sleeping and waking patterns also "occasionally" have arguments than can jeopardize the couples marriage. (B) The sleeping and waking cycles of individuals tend to vary from season to season. (C) The individuals who have sleeping and waking cycles that differ significantly from those of their spouses tend to argue little with colleagues at work. (D) People in unhappy marriages have been found to express hostility by adopting a different sleeping and waking cycle from that of their spouses. (E) According to a recent study, most peoples sleeping and waking cycles can be controlled and modified easily.
Call between A/D...???
D wins for Sure...........
it straightway says....X doesn't cause Y...because...
Y cause X...
its unhappy marriages which lead to difference in sleeping cycles...
Why not option A?--It will also reduce the profits of the company.
its a fact and not a conclusion....you can't control this...
look at the start of the sentence...
Because rates are increasing...to come over this, company is adopting a Type of plan....to reduce the number of issues and argument questions this plan "Of reducing the prints"...
