Therefore, there are (50-27=) 23 students between them. Hence (a) 114. 1 + 1 = 2, 2 + 2 = 12, 3 + 3 = 36, 4 + 4 = 80 4

The point of contention lies in the fact that individuals are willing to give a part of their liberty in exchange of the laws, while this statement suggests that they are unhappy to respect the rule of law, thereby weakens the argument. 122. Notice that the question gives you some extra guidance here: There is a seeming inconsistency in the reports. On the one hand, much research suggests that dyslexia is a sex-linked problem. On the other hand, the new research suggests it is not. Of course, it is possible that the earlier research was just poorly done, but that wouldnt make a very interesting test answer, e.g., the earlier researchers just added incorrectly. (3) is more representative of the kind of answer you would find on the test: The earlier research was based on data that was biased and no one suspected that fact until now. As for the remaining choices, they hint at various weaknesses in the data on dyslexia, but they do not address the seeming contradiction that is the focus of the question stem. 123. The credited response.Can be concluded after reading the above argument that there existed some kind of a stressed relationship between the two people. Thus, best conclusion. 124. This is a hidden assumption of the argument. Under the pro-posed system, according to the speaker, schools will have to make the customers happy and concludes that this will result in improved education. Thus, a hidden assumption of the argument is the equation between happy customers and improved education. 125. The speaker assumes that students and parents will be educated consumers. (Pardon the play on words.) If it turns out that students and parents select a school because it is nearby, then schools dont have any incentive to offer creative educational pro-grams in order to attract students; and a fundamental premise of the plan is proved incorrect. 126. While 1, 2, and 4 are all in accordance with the argument, option 3 undermines the argument mentioned above. 6

CP/13/D2 127. The speaker contrasts the Olympic sport of hockey, which gets media coverage because it generates revenues, with speed skating, which does not get media coverage. The implication here is that speed skating does not generate revenue. 128. Weakens the argument. This statement proves that it is economically good and does not harm the competitiveness. 129. The credited response. Rhetorically put forth, what one who must have broken been punished under law do? Would escape be a rightful act? Thus, it can be inferred from the given argument that this would follow. 130. Some J are B. (Some Judges are Bar members.) No B are F. (No Bar members are Felons.) Therefore, some J are not F. (Some Judges are not Felons.) This is a perfectly valid (logical) argument. (4) shares its form and validity: Some N are I. (Some Non-students are Interested.) No N are M. (No Non-students are Meeting-attenders.) Therefore, some I are not M. (Some Interested Non-students are not Meeting attenders.) (2) and (3) are both set up using more than three categories; therefore, they cannot possibly have the structure of the sample argument that uses only three categories: (2)people, people who want to avoid jury duty, people who do not register to vote, persons under 18 (3)business, entities filing tax returns, business making enough money to pay taxes, business making a profit (1) Does not parallel the sample argument since it contains the qualification likely. 131. First one ought to identify the conclusion that needs to be weakened. Since Lin thinks that he has outsmarted Pong, the best option would be one which would undermine this. Here options 2,3, and 4 support it while option 1 shows Pong has outsmarted Lin. 132. Key points to note: (i) Applicant has been declined position. (ii) Funding for summer jobs is limited. (iii) Impossible to offer jobs to all those who want them (apply for the same). (iv) (Govt office) forced to reject many highly qualified applicants.

Now, consider options: (1) combining ii & iii above, it could be reasoned that the number of applicants might be more than number of jobs/ position available (hence the application was rejected). Possibly true. (2) Nowhere is it mentioned that iv relates to the applicant in particular. It could be a general info 7

CP/13/D2 provided in the letter as well. (3) ii says that funding is limited. It cannot be considered that their's little funding available. Limited funding suggests that its a relative term and should not be confused with the actual amount of funding available. So, to me it seems that this cannot be concluded for sure. (4) Nowhere is this mentioned. Hence 1 is the best conclusion. 133. Credited Response! 134. The credited response. Would serve as the best criticism as it proves the Principals understanding of the two impacts being analogous flawed. 135. While option 2 goes against the above lines, options 3 and 4 are irrelevant; therefore option 1 is the best option. 136. (a) All P's are J's (FALSE, applying condition 3) (b) No P is G (UNCERTAIN, applying condition 2)(c) No P is an H(CANT SAY) (d) If any P is a G it is a J(CERTAINLY, applying condition 2 and if no Ps are Ks) 137. (a) No M's are H's(NOT NECESSARILY) (b) No M's that are not N's are H's(NOT NECESSARILY) (c) Some M's are Hs (NOT NECESSARILY) (d) No N's are Gs (CERTAINLY, applying conditions 5 and 6) 138. Because if NO M's are G's, it is not possible for Some H to be both M & G, since it would entail that some M are G and that contradicts the last condition.

141. Ram wins the race by covering 500 m, in the process he first covers 10 meters (Head Start) and then takes a lead of 20 meters i.e. time in which Ram covers 500 meters Shyam covers 470 meters, so Ram can give head start of 30 meters to Shyam such that there is dead heat. 142. Let the usual speed be S & time be T, then the usual distance be D. D = S T = 50(T + 4) = 80(T 2) Solving, the last two equations we get, 50T + 200 = 80T 160 we get, T = 12 hours Placing in irst two equations, we get 12S = 50 16, S = 200/3 143.
