Answer 3 Answer with Explanation

Reasoning What is the ffaw in che reasoning?The argument is based on two samples
i
of 50 paintings each, but there is no evidence that the samples are representat ve. It is
quite possible that the book presents and discusses only those paintings that support its
i
argument and ignores those paint ngs that do not support the argument. The reviewer
accepts the selected samples of artwork without questioning how truly representative
they are.
A Correct. This statement prope�y identifies a logical flaw in the reviewer's argument.
B This statement critiques the narrow focus of the book, not the reasoning of its
argument, which is endorsed by the reviewer.
C This statement shows that the reasoning of readers may be flawed if they accept the
thesis on the basis of the book's title; it does not point to a flaw in the author's or the
reviewer's reasoning.
D The book compares two groups of European painters. comparisons to painters in other
parts of the world are irrelevant.

Evaluation of a Plan
i
Situation A transportat on authority plans to pay for improvements to a commuter rail
line by raising automobile tolls on the two highway bridges along the route the rail line
serves. One objection to this plan is that drivers will have to pay for something from
which they will not benefit.
Reasoning What casts doubt on how well the financing plan would work? Any
financing plan is based on estimates of costs and revenues, and any factor that
significantly increases costs or lowers revenues threatens the effectiveness of that plan.
The authority's plan makes a revenue projection based on the current number of drivers
who use the bridges and thus will pay the increased tolls. If there is a precedent that a
significant percentage of regular commuters had previously used an alternate route in
order to avoid the increased tolls on these specific bridges, then the revenue basis for
the financing plan is considerably undermined. If that substitute route has since becone
an even more appealing alternative, the effectiveness of the plan is further threatened.
A Objections to the plan at public hearings do not affect how well the financing plan will
work.
B The one-time costs of changing the automatic toll-collectors would not be significant
given the five years of revenue from the increased tolls.
C Revenue lost to token hoarding is insignificant compared to the revenue gained from
five years of increased tolls.
D Correct. This statement properly identifies a factor that weakens the authority's
financing plan.
E Opposition to the increased toll can be expected; it does not mean that the plan will be
less effective.
The correct answer is o.

B The lack of pests and diseases among imported trees does not explain the sharply
decreased productivity.
C Correct. This statement properly identifies a reason for sharply decreased productivity.
D If the weevil population pollinating the trees remained the same, it is reasonable to
think that productivity remained the same, so this does not explain the decrease.
E A change that occurred before 1980 does not explain a change that occurred in 1984.
The correct answer is c.
