Model Test3 13 C A glance at the table will show you that each service 1s available on either Friday or Monday, 21 D or both, in New Wales, except TTS sanitation pickup 14 C IS B For MWF pickup areas in New Wales, all services are available Friday except banking In MWFE pickup areas in the other two states, neither trash pickup nor state government offices are available, though banking is In TTS areas in all three states, sanitation pickup is not available Friday; banking is not available in new Wales, and state government offices are 22 C BREED C B A D The questions straightforward 17 18 B C OWNER H E G F themselves fairly 23-24 19 C Here it’s possible for more than one statement to give correct information It turns out that I is false because Mr Edwards’s dog won second prize and the Airedale third II is false because Mr Grossman’s dog is Jack III correctly identifies the winners of second, third, and fourth prizes 20 A This can be read from the diagram BREED C OWNER NAME G H M K Engrave this in your memory indelibly: from a Statement in the form “All A are B” or “If A, then B,” one and only one valid conclusion can be drawn: “If not B, then not A.” So: from Statement (1), the only valid conclusion 1s, “A student who does not wear Calvert Kreem jeans does not major in philosophy,” and from statement (3), the only valid conclusion is, “If Mary doesn’t major in history, Jack doesn’t major in philosophy.” The statements, “If not A, then not B” and “If B, then A” are not valid 23 B Once statement (6) identifies the fourth prize winner and you determine that Mr Grossman’s dog therefore won third prize, it follows that, since Max won second prize, Ms Huntley’s Kelly was the collie that won first prize The same reasoning process used in question 17 makes Mr Grossman’s dog the Airedale that won third prize F Given the ambiguities arising from the incomplete nature of the information, statement III cannot be deduced Statements I and II may be deduced, however NAME K M J L are M J As for question 21, jot down a simple chart based only on the specified statements: PRIZE ] 3or4 l,3or4 A four-by-four grid listing prizes, breeds, owners, and dog names will be needed Using the information given and the process of elimination, you can come up with the following chart: PRIZE | NAME which dog), statements I, II, and III all follow by a process of elimination one available.) 17-22 A D OWNER statements (2) and (7) (for example, who owns Sanitation pickup is not normally available Friday in TTS areas is irrelevant—the question states that Mr Rudolph found all services but This question is different Everything is available Monday in New Albion except trash pickup in TTS areas—but this is not a “deviation from normal service.” The table will confirm that there is some deviation from normal service for all of the other choices given BREED C Although much remains ambiguous without closed in the other two states (The fact that 16 A The easiest procedure is to jot down the information given in the specified statements: PRIZE Ì The post office and state government offices are open Monday in all three states, but banks are open only in New Albion and New Wales 565 Statement (2) says that none of the students in the Marching and Chowder Society wears Calvert Kreem jeans, so they are “not B” in statement (1); the conclusion that they not major in philosophy is valid Choice A is incorrect: it means only that Mary is not in the Marching and Chowder Society (statement 2) and says nothing about her jeans Choice C is an “if B, then A” inference, “If Mary majors in history, Jack Majors in philosophy” (and therefore can’t be in the Marching and Chowder Society because of his jeans) There’s no basis for E 24 D I and III are correct “if not B, then not A” con- clusions based on statements (3) and (1), respectively II can establish only that Jack may wear Calvert Kreem Jeans or major in history, neither of which validly implies that he does not major in philosophy 566 Model Test 25 C The cost to the chemical company (choice C) would be a concern of the company, not of the residents The residents are primarily concerned about the possible negative effects of the fumes They might reasonably be expected to be concerned about stopping the fumes (choice A), the adequacy of the original tests (choice B), possible harm to plants and animals (choice D), and possible long-term effects of the fumes (choice E) C E are all possible, since we can draw M anywhere outside G D J’s are K’s, you were wrong; it states that all or Democrats.’’) So statement (4) doesn’t imply the statement given here, and I is out It is possible that no L’s are J’s, however, even if J and K overlap (II) Finally, the additional statement would mean that if L’s were K’s, they couldn’t be J’s (III) The conditions can be diagrammed as in the accompanying figure SS O O e505 2525 Notice that the positions of two elements women took the drug) Choice A, a valid argument, concludes that an event must have occurred after its cause Choice C includes evidence that does tend to rule out alternative explanations Choice D fails to consider alternative explanations, but involves no inference Choice E involves sufficient “tests” (she weeps every time) but fails to consider all possible explanations D (M,N) and the existence of an overlap between J and K are uncertain; these uncertainties are indicated by broken lines Choice A is not necessarily true, for the rea- sons given in the answer to number Choices B and C are possible, but not necessarily true Choice D fails to take the J’s into account—it would be true only if the J’s and K’s overlapped completely Choice E is correct; state- ment (2) means that any G that is not a K must be a J Note that this choice is true even if J’s and K’s overlap completely—in that case no P can be a G, but the “if then” statement in choice E remains true From the diagram; statement (6) says that all M’s must lie outside the G’s; but all N’s must lie inside the M’s, according to statement (5) Since the only information about the M’s is that they are not G’s, none of the other statements, which attempt to put M’s inside or outside the H’s, can be deduced Ellen assumes a causal relationship on the basis of inference (three times, therefore every time) She commits two logical errors: she fails to exclude alternative causes, and she uses too small a number of “tests” for a valid conclusion Choice B commits the first error, and may commit the second (we aren’t told how many WN FL, ⁄< LEER BO ⁄7 CK MD oS L7 S B E If you thought that statement (2) meant that no G’s are J’s or K’s, but doesn’t exclude the possibility that some G’s are both and that J and K overlap (Consider an analogous statement like ‘‘All voters in my town voted for Republicans H tion that no M’s are G’s Choice A is possi- ble—we could draw the G circle so that it coincided with the H circle Choices B,D, and Section 1-4, This statement is inconsistent with the condi- C This would tend to rule out alternative explanations (like the other lakes in choice C of question 5), thereby strengthening the argument Choice A is wrong because Ralph could sneeze for a different reason Choice B does strengthen the argument (by suggesting that Ellen is not generally sneezy), but not as much as choice D Choice C weakens the argument (Ellen is sneezy) Choice E implies that Ellen may make herself sneeze If the number of accidents has increased by only 10%, while the number of flights has increased by 30%, then flying is actually getting safer Thus, the original statement serves to rebut choice C The increase in the number of flights need not imply that the airlines must be making more money (choice A), that all those who used to fly can still afford to fly (choice B), or that a few large airlines are not taking over the industry (choice E) The only way the statement in choice D could be countered would be to dispute the figure given Model Test3 8-11 To diagram this, just fill in places around the table Start with Helga, the first person who can be placed definitely (Make an arbitrary choice as to which end the hostess is at—it will make no difference.) Frank must be at Helga’s right Diane must occupy the third place on Frank and Helga’s side of the table because of the seating rule about the sexes, with Allan opposite Diane You now have: — - A Note that no combinations containing Democrats FG or GH are acceptable because the presence of G would rule out Republican D, the only available military expert GI is an acceptable pair of Democrats, since I can fill the military expert’s role 12 C By inspection of the table 13 Democrats AB figure in acceptable panels with FI and GI B 14 A hostess 567 host Gl is the only pair containing G that may be included in any acceptable panels (1) One of these does not contain A (II) and two con- tain B (IID H F D George cannot be the host, since a man is on the host’s right, and he cannot be opposite Frank, so he must be opposite Helga He is the one person between Belinda and Carol, but we don’t know which of these is on his left and which is on his right (in the hostess’s chair) But we can fill in this much information and answer the questions C The only slot left for a male is the host’s; the host is to Diane’s right; but the person opposite him, the hostess, may be either Belinda or Carol 15 D Count the combinations listed on your table 16 C Republicans CD can serve with Democrats HI There are no acceptable BD or FG combinations 17 E Republican E figures in no acceptable panels; all others can serve on more than one 18 Democrat I serves on eight acceptable panels (count them) E 19-22 The information becomes a little easier to keep Straight with a “tree” diagram showing the various possibilities, like the one given here EAST George is definitely opposite Helga He is not opposite Belinda (D), nor is Eric opposite Helga (E) Frank may be opposite Belinda or Ocean View No View Carol, but we don’t know which (B,C) 10 D By inspection All the others are next to at least one person of the same sex, and Belinda or — No Balcony Extra No Extra Carol could be sitting next to Helga 11 A 12-18 If you shift George four places to the left, he changes place with Diane I can be verified, II and III ruled out by inspection of the new, altered diagram Extra Your basic solution step is to make a table of the possible persons and qualifications on the Democratic side, with the possible combinations on the Republican side Note that Fawcett DEM FH FI GI HI REPUB AD AB,AD AB, AC, BC AC, BC, CD No Kitchen No Extra WEST Harbor View insists on Abbott being present, but the reverse is not true Remember that there must be at least one economist and at least one military expert The valid combinations are as follows: T Fl Extra Up TƯ Ƒ No Kitchen Extra No Extra Model Test 19 D Simply read the information from the diagram Some rooms described in choices A and C have kitchen facilities; the rooms described in choice B a// involve an extra charge; and ocean view rooms with balcony but without kitchen facilities (E) involve an extra charge The only extra charges are for: ocean view with balcony; harbor view, third floor and up; and rooms with kitchen facilities, no matter where But some ocean view rooms without balcony and some no-view, no-kitchen East Wing rooms may be above the third floor (A) Choices C.D, and E are all false Section Ic 24 E A The author asserts that the corporations, rather than people or elected officials, run the country The author’s evidence is that corporation heads make important decisions without being subject to popular controls Option I strengthens the conclusion by giving evidence of corporate influence in an area not dealt with in the argument Option III strengthens the evidence by giving additional data suggesting corporate autonomy Option II is unrelated to either the evidence or the conclusion The original argument contains an implicit but unstated definition of a term—democracy— and depends for its force on the contrast between the definition (popular control of all decisions affecting our lives) and the facts as alleged by the author Choice E also involves an implicit definition of education as involving more than “regurgitating facts,” and depends on the contrast between this and the alleged facts Choice A involves no definition of “‘safe neighborhood,” implicit or otherwise Choices B.C, and D all involve direct, explicit contrasts First, the author uses the word “right” to mean “the opposite of left.” Then he uses “right” to mean “correct” or “proper.” This ts illogical as choice A points out (Technically, this is known as the fallacy of equivocation.) There is no cause or effect to be confused (choice B) And the author does provide evidence for his conclusion (choice D); it’s just not very convincing evidence * 2\56) \4)2 a_b b D It is possible that x is a fraction If x = ; Column A = and Column B = V2, If x > 1, other values are possible If x = 2, Column A = and Column B = V2 We don’t know whether any West Wing rooms above the second floor or with kitchen facilities have balconies (1) But we know that East Wing rooms without view or kitchen have no extra charge attached (II) and that all kitchen facilities are in rooms not otherwise subject to an extra charge (III) (Remember, the first paragraph says the charges are identical “except as follows.” This means there are no extra charges we weren't told about.)
