Psychologists believe that most people judge others just like they would judge a book by its cover and in ninety percent of the cases most people are wrong. In fact, while judging someone on the basis of their looks or by first impression, most people fail to realize that the other person could be nervous or hesitant to open up. Most psychologists are of the view that adults are more afraid of being rejected or disliked by others, especially housewives who have limited social interaction and are constantly judged by their peers and in-laws.
Assuming that the above argument is true, identify which of the following statements considerably strengthens the above argument?
a.Psychologists explain that when people meet someone for the first time, they are more courteous and careful so as to not judge the other instantly.
b.People believe that it is only natural to judge someone on the basis of their looks because it is, after all, extremely important to get others' approval.
c.Many times people are inclined towards judging others on the basis of first impression or physical appearance because they are biased against people.
d.Some people undermine physical appearance and believe that good looks are highly overrated.
e.Psychologists are of the view that personality tests should also include questions based on physical appearance as it reflects a person's attitude.
Smith, a basketball player, successfully made 80% of the shots that he attempted this year - an exceptionally high percentage for a player in Smith's league. However, this statistic does not mean that Smith is an exceptional shooter, because the best shooters take many shots from risky locations 20 or more feet away from the basket. Instead, Smith's high shooting percentage simply shows that he takes most of his shots from locations very close to the basket.
Which of the following statements, if true, provides additional support for the argument?
A)Smith's shooting percentage for shots taken from more than 20 feet away from the basket is no higher than other players' shooting percentages from that distance.
B)Smith took most of his shots during games that were closely contested and in which his team could not afford the time and effort to set up easier shots.
C)Very few of the baskets scored by Smith's team from locations close to the basket were shot by Smith himself
D)The position that Smith plays allows him relatively few shooting opportunities from locations close to the basket.
E)Smith's shooting percentage, the highest in the league, was almost 10% higher than that of the player with the next highest percentage.

A newborn kangaroo, or joey, is born after a short gestation period of only 39 days. At this stage, the joey's hind limbs are not well developed, but its forelimbs are well developed, so that it can can climb from the cloaca into its mother's pouch for further development. The recent discovery that ancient marsupial lions were also born with only their forelimbs developed supports the hypothesis that newborn marsupial lions must also have needed to climb into their mothers' pouches.
The argument in this passage relies on which of the following assumptions?
(A) All animals that are born after a short gestation period are born with some parts of their bodies underdeveloped.
(B) Well developed forelimbs would have been more advantageous to ancient marsupial lions than well developed hind limbs would have been.
(C) If the newborn marsupial lion did not climb into its mother's pouch, then paleontologists would be able to find evidence of this fact.
(D) Newborn marsupial lions that crawled into their mothers' pouches could not have done so had they not had only their forelimbs developed at birth
(E) Newborn marsupial lions would not have had only their forelegs developed if this development were of no use to the marsupial lions

People with ARS typically also have some skin damage. This damage can start to show within a few hours after exposure and can include swelling, itching, and redness of the skin (like a bad sunburn). There can be hair loss as well. As with the other symptoms, the skin may heal for a short time, followed by the return of swelling, itching, and redness days or weeks later. Complete healing of the skin may take from several weeks up to a few years depending on the radiation dose the person’s skin received. The chance of survival for people with ARS decreases with increasing radiation dose. Most people who do not recover from ARS will die within several months of exposure. The cause of death in most cases is the destruction of the person’s bone marrow, which results in infection and bleeding.
Explain the answer please.

RC :
Woodrow Wilson was referring to the liberal idea of the economic market when he said that the free enterprise system is the most efficient economic system. Maximum freedom means maximum productiveness; our "openness" is to be the measure of our stability. Fascination with this ideal has made Americans defy the "Old World" categories of settled possessiveness versus unsettling deprivation, the cupidity of retention versus the cupidity of seizure, a "status quo" defended or attacked. The United States, it was believed, had no status quo ante. Our only "station" was the turning of a stationary wheel, spinning faster and faster. We did not base our system on property but opportunity-which meant we based it not on stability but on mobility. The more things changed, that is, the more rapidly the wheel turned, the steadier we would be. The conventional picture of class politics is composed of the Haves, who want a stability to keep what they have, and the Have-Nots, who want a touch of instability and change in which to scramble for the things they have not. But Americans imagined a condition in which speculators, self-makers, runners are always using the new opportunities given by our land. These economic leaders (front-runners) would thus be mainly agents of change. The nonstarters were considered the ones who wanted stability, a strong referee to give them some position in the race, a regulative hand to calm manic speculation; an authority that can call things to a halt, begin things again from compensatorily staggered "starting lines." "Reform" in America has been sterile because it can imagine no change except through the extension of this metaphor of a race, wider inclusion of competitors, "a piece of the action," as it were, for the disenfranchised. There is no attempt to call off the race. Since our only stability is change, America seems not to honor the quiet work that achieves social interdependence and stability. There is, in our legends, no heroism of the office clerk, no stable industrial work force of the people who actually make the system work. There is no pride in being an employee (Wilson asked for a return to the time when everyone was an employer). There has been no boasting about our social workers-they are merely signs of the system's failure, of opportunity denied or not taken, of things to be eliminated. We have no pride in our growing interdependence, in the fact that our system can serve others, that we are able to help those in need; empty boasts from the past make us ashamed of our present achievements, make us try to forget or deny them, move away from them. There is no honor but in the Wonderland race we must all run, all trying to win, none winning in the end (for there is no end).
