Logical reasoning test

1. Many passengers choose to travel by air with low cost airlines for their
economic convenience, even though they are aware that air travel causes environmental damage.
However, this convenience is illusory. Low-cost airlines attract customers by
advertising apparently very affordable fares, but in addition to the basic fare, customers
must then pay for many services considered essential, such as baggage check-in
and reserved seating. There has even been speculation that passengers pay for using
the toilet facilities on board.
Which of the following statements is fully supported by the previous passage?
A) The flights of low cost airlines cause less damage to the environment than those
of traditional companies
B) All low-cost airlines provide similar services
C) Low cost airlines are not as cheap as
advertised
D) Low cost airlines are losing money by offering cheap fares
E) Passengers' protests against low cost airlines have no
effect

2. Hospitals attempt to reduce infections caused by bacteria by requiring staff and

visitors to use anti-bacterial solutions before entering wards. Laboratory tests have
shown that the use of candles containing essential oils allows the elimination of
bacteria such as Escherichia Coli and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus (MRSA): these
candles were lit and consumed for a few hours in a hermetically sealed room at inside
which these bacteria were present, eliminating them. The fight against infections
caused by these bacteria continues, but these candles are clearly the solution.
On what implicit assumption is the above passage based?
A) If candles containing essential oils were used in hospitals, the same results as in
laboratory tests would be obtained
B) It is difficult to enforce the use of anti-bacterial solutions on staff and visitors
C) Escherichia Coli and MRSA are the only bacteria of concern

D) Using candles containing essential oils is cheaper than current methods

use
E) None of the commonly used anti-bacterial products are effective

3. The number of countries open to altourism is constantly increasing. Among these there are
some where the human rights of citizens are repeatedly violated and for this reason, tourists
should not go there. Tourism is always a source of income for a country and, for those
governments subject to embargoes and restrictions, this type of income is particularly
important. Therefore, tourists who visit such countries help keep oppressive and corrupt
regimes in power. While tourists visit archaeological treasures and relax on pristine beaches,
the citizens of that country are increasingly harassed.
Which of the following statements expresses the main message of the previous passage?
A) Many of the regimes that violate the human rights of their citizens encourage tourism
B) The moral responsibility to help the weakest is more important than the desire to visit
other countries

C) Income from tourism helps maintain corrupt and oppressive regimes al

candies
D) Tourists should not visit countries that violate the human rights of their citizens
E) Banning tourism in countries where human rights are violated is the best way to help
the population of these countries

4. A ministerial inspector visited a primary school. According to the inspector, to

maximize the efficiency of the school, teachers should be aware of their teaching skills
and those of their colleagues. 20 teachers work in the school. Each teacher was asked to
rank their own teaching skills, comparing them to those of their colleagues, and then
to list in order of skill all the teachers of the school, including themselves, in a descending
ranking with positions from 1 to 20. All the school's teachers entered their name in one of the
top 10 positions in the ranking.

Which of the following statements is fully supported by the previous passage?

A) Teachers whose skills are above the national average work in the school
B) Not all teachers were able to evaluate their teaching skills accurately

C) It was not possible to draw up a ranking of the teaching skills of teachers in the
school
D) Teachers should not be allowed to assess their own ability to
teaching
E) Half of the teachers were able to evaluate their colleagues accurately

5. The intelligence quotient (IQ) of two groups of children was measured twice in six months,
in January and June. Throughout this period, children in group A were given a daily vitamin
supplement upon arrival at school, while children in group B were given pills with no active
ingredients, but identical in appearance and taste. to the vitamin supplement. When the
children's IQ was measured again in June, group A saw a notable increase, while group B saw
no notable increase. From this study it can therefore be deduced that the administration of
vitamin supplements helps to increase the IQ of children.

Which of the following statements, if considered true, weakens the claim of the passage?

A) The two groups of children attend different schools B) The

children were aware that after six months their IQ would be measured again C) Neither
group A nor group B of
children were prepared to take the IQ test
IQ measurement
D) Many of the children in group A also took vitamin supplements at home
E) There are other supplements, in addition to vitamins, that can increase the IQ

6. The majority of public opinion believes that wind energy is an integral part of the
new energy sources for the future. Often, however, activist groups oppose the construction of
wind farms. The reasons given are the most varied and range from the inefficiency of these
systems to the disturbance caused to migratory birds. In reality, the real reasons are more
related to personal interests. Citizens rarely oppose the construction of wind farms far from
their area of residence; rather, what interests them is that these systems do not aesthetically
spoil the landscape adjacent to their home.

Which of the following statements, if considered true, strengthens what is claimed

by the passage?
A) Despite the support of the residents, the project for a wind farm on an island
remote was rejected following protests by activists
B) Citizens are more opposed to the construction of nuclear power plants nearby
of their homes compared to the construction of wind farms
C) Very often it is easier to build wind farms offshore because there is less opposition

D) Building wind farms far from population centers is the cheapest solution
E) A large part of public opinion considers wind farms as a pleasant feature of the landscape
