Question 3 of 10
3. Question
Jason enters six races: biking, canoeing, horseback riding, ice skating, running, and swimming. He places between first and fifth in each. Two places are consecutive only if the place numbers are consecutive. Jason’s places in canoeing and running are consecutive. His places in ice skating and swimming are consecutive. He places higher in biking than in horseback riding. He places higher in canoeing than in running.
If Jason places higher in running than in biking and places higher in biking than in ice skating and swimming, which one of the following allows all six of his race rankings to be determined?
Correct
Incorrect
We know that Jason ranks higher in canoeing than in running; higher in running than in biking; higher in biking than in ice skating, swimming, and horseback riding; and that his rankings in ice skating and swimming are consecutive (therefore different). We don’t know whether Jason does better in swimming or ice skating, or exactly how well he does in horseback riding. What piece of information would allow us to figure these things out? A piece of information that locks down horseback riding, swimming, and ice skating relative to one another.
Choice (V) does exactly that by ranking Jason higher in horseback riding than in swimming. With only 5 places in which Jason can finish in each race, Jason must place 1st in canoeing, 2nd in running, 3rd in biking, 4th in ice skating and horseback riding, and 5th in swimming.
None of the other choices forces ice skating, horseback riding, and swimming into any particular order.
If he places fourth in horseback riding (I), then it’s canoeing first, running second, biking third, horseback riding forth; but what about ice skating and swimming? They could be either four and five, or five and four.
If he places fourth in ice skating, then swimming will be fifth, but horseback riding could be fourth or fifth. (II) is incorrect.
If he places the same in horseback riding and ice skating (III), which place would that be: fourth or fifth? The same applies to (IV), with horseback riding and swimming.

Question 4 of 10
4. Question
The recent proliferation of newspaper articles in major publications that have been exposed as fabrications serves to bolster the contention that publishers are more interested in selling copy than in printing the truth. Even minor publications have the staff to check such obvious fraud.
The above argument assumes that–
Correct
Incorrect
Assumption questions require us to identify a premise that the author must take for granted as true if the argument is to be logically sound. The conclusion of the argument is that publishers are more interested in sales than they are in reporting the truth. As evidence, the argument cites the fact that the number of false newspaper articles making it to publication has risen recently. In order for the conclusion to follow from the evidence, the author assumes that the publishers are responsible for the content of the newspapers. That’s what (IV) says. The other choices are either distortions of the author’s ideas or outside the scope of the argument.

Question 5 of 10
5. Question
Historians frequently argue that an outlet for population overflow is required for a country’s economy to prosper. But we need to look no further than our own shores to find counterevidence: Cuba has long been able to rid itself of its surplus population by sending people here, and yet its economy has done quite poorly.
The reasoning above is most vulnerable to which one of the following criticisms?
Correct
Incorrect
Faulty Logic questions require you to identify a mistake in an author’s reasoning.
What has this author done wrong? He’s a mistaken necessity for sufficiency. Specifically, he’s misinterpreted the historians’ statement that a population outlet is necessary for economic prosperity. The historians have NOT said that having a population outlet will guarantee economic prosperity; the population outlet is necessary but not sufficient for economic prosperity.
Although the example of Cuba has met this necessary condition, the author mistakenly reasoned that this condition is sufficient in its own right to guarantee economic prosperity.

6. Question
Statement: Please consult me before making any decision on exports from the company.
Assumptions :
I. You may take a wrong decision if you don’t consult me.
II. It is important to take the right decisionCorrect
Incorrect
Note: Both are implicit. The author asks him to consult before making any decision. Obviously, he is worried that a decision without his consultation may not be correct. So I is implicit. Further, he wouldn’t have said so unless he thought that taking a correct decision was important. Hence II is implicit.
