2、24 .94GWD-TN-1GWD1-Q3:A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price. Because technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed and companies who want to make large profits while they still can, many companies charge the greatest

3、price the market will bear when they have such a product. But large profits on the mew product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the mew products capabilities. Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possibl

4、e price.In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?A. The first is an assumption that forms the basis for a course of action that the argument criticizes; the second presents the course of action endorsed by the argument.B. The first is a consideration rais

5、ed to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second is a consideration raised to call into question the wisdom of adopting that strategy.C.

6、D. The first is a consideration raised in support of a strategy the argument endorses; the second presents grounds in support of that consideration.E. The first is a consideration raised to show that adopting a certain strategy is unlikely to achieve the intended effect; the second is presented to e

7、xplain the appeal of that strategy.-GWD1-Q22:City Official: At City Hospital, uninsured patients tend to have shorter stays and fewer procedures performed than do insured patients, even though insured patients, on average, have slightly less serious medical problems at the time of admission to the h

8、ospital than uninsured patients have. Critics of the hospital have concluded that the uninsured patients are not receiving proper medical care. However, this conclusion is almost certainly false. Careful investigation has recently shown two things: insured patients have much longer stays in the hosp

9、ital than necessary, and they tend to have more procedures performed than are medically necessary.In the city officials argument, the two boldface portions play which of the following roles?A.

10、sion.B. The first is used to support the conclusion of the city officials argument; the second states that conclusion.C.

11、e conclusion drawn by hospital critics; the second provides support for the conclusion of the city officials argument.E.

12、le who moved from one state to another when they retired, the percentage who retired to Florida has decreased by three percentage points over the past ten years. Since many local businesses in Florida cater to retirees, this decline is likely to have a noticeably negative economic effect on these bu

13、sinesses.Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?A. Florida attracts more people who move from one state to another when they retire than does any other state.B. The number of people who move out of Florida to accept employment in other states has increased over the past

14、 ten years.C. There are far more local businesses in Florida that cater to tourists than there are local businesses that cater to retirees.D.

Coal output per miner in Tribn

16、ia is double what it was five years ago, even though no new mines have opened.Which of the following can be properly concluded from the statement about coal output per miner in the passage?A. If the number of miners working in Tribnian coal mines has remained constant in the past five years, Tribnia

17、s total coal production has doubled in that period of time.B. Any individual Tribnian coal mine that achieved an increase in overall output in the past five years has also experienced an increase in output per miner.C. If any new coal mines had opened in Tribnia in the past five years, then the incr

18、ease in output per miner would have been even greater than it actually was.D. If any individual Tribnian coal mine has not increased its output per miner in the past five years, then that mines overall output has declined or remained constant.E. In Tribnia the cost of producing a given quantity of c

19、oal has declined over the past five years.-GWD1-Q15:In parts of South America, vitamin-A deficiency is a serious health problem, especially among children. In one region, agriculturists are attempting to improve nutrition by encouraging farmers to plant a new variety of sweet potato called SPK004 th

20、at is rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. The plan has good chances of success, since sweet potato is a staple of the regions diet and agriculture, and the varieties currently grown contain little beta-carotene.Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the pr

21、ediction that the plan will succeed?A. The growing conditions required by the varieties of sweet potato currently cultivated in the region are conditions in which SPK004 can flourish.B. The flesh of SPK004 differs from that of the currently cultivated sweet potatoes in color and texture, so traditio

22、nal foods would look somewhat different when prepared from SPK004.C. There are no other varieties of sweet potato that are significantly richer in beta-carotene than SPK004 is.D. The varieties of sweet potato currently cultivated in the region contain some important nutrients that are lacking in SPK

23、004.E. There are other vegetables currently grown in the region that contain more beta-carotene than the currently cultivated varieties of sweet potato do.-GWD1-Q17:The spacing of the four holes on a fragment of a bone flute excavated at a Neanderthal campsite is just what is required to play the th

24、ird through sixth notes of the diatonic scalethe seven-note musical scale used in much of Western music since the Renaissance. Musicologists therefore hypothesize that the diatonic musical scale was developed and used thousands of years before it was adopted by Western musicians.Which of the followi

25、ng, if true, most strongly supports the hypothesis?A. Bone flutes were probably the only musical instrument made by Neanderthals.B. No musical instrument that is known to have used a diatomic scale is of an earlier date than the flute found at the Neanderthal campsite.C. The flute was made from a ca

26、ve-bear bone and the campsite at which the flute fragment was excavated was in a cave that also contained skeletal remains of cave bears.D. Flutes are the simplest wind instrument that can be constructed to allow playing a diatonic scale.E. The cave-bear leg bone used to make the Neanderthal flute w

27、ould have been long enough to make a flute capable of playing a complete diatonic scale.-GWD1-Q18:It is illegal to advertise prescription medications in Hedland except in professional medical journals or by mail directly to physicians. A proposed law would allow general advertising of prescription m

28、edications. Opponents object that, in general, laypersons lack the specialized knowledge to evaluate such advertisements and might ask their physicians for inappropriate medications. But since physicians have the final say as to whether to prescribe a medication for a patient, the objection provides

29、 no grounds for concern.Which of the following would it be most useful to establish in order to evaluate the argument?A. Whether nonprescription medications can interact with and block the action of any prescription medications that could be advertised to the general publicB. Whether most prescripti

30、on medication advertisements directed at the general public would be advertisements for recently developed medications newly available by prescriptionC. Whether prescription medication advertisements directed at the general public would appear on television and radio as well as in printD. Whether ph

31、ysicians are more likely to pay attention to advertising directed to the general public than to advertising directed to physiciansE. Whether physicians are likely to succumb to pressure from patients to prescribe inappropriate medications-GWD1-Q31:Which of the following most logically completes the

32、argument below?Davison River farmers are currently deciding between planting winter wheat this fall or spring wheat next spring. Winter wheat and spring wheat are usually about equally profitable. Because of new government restrictions on the use of Davison River water for irrigation, per acre yields for winter wheat, though not for spring wheat, would be much lower than average. Therefore, planting spring wheat will be more profitable than planting winter wheat, since.A. the smaller-than-average size of a winter wheat harvest this year would not be compen
