Re: Q20 - Of every 100 burglar

(C) is correct. The statement is supposed to provide evidence that imposing a fine is the only solution, as opposed to the more obvious solutions of getting rid of burglar alarms or having police stop responding to them . If police started ignoring them, we could expect the deterrent effect to go d...

Re: Q11 - Carl: Researchers who preform operations

I find this question very difficult because Carl does not actually make an analogy. The sentence that brings up humans makes it seem as though an analogy is going to be made however the following sentence simply make a statement that suggesting that law makers are not as concerned about humans as th...

Re: Q10 - insects can see ultraviolet light

I As far as I see, the conclusion is not the causal statement that the probable reason of insects being attracted to the Glomosus spiderwebs is the reflection of UV light BUT instead it is the causal statement that these insects get attracted to these Glomosus spider webs which reflect UV rays due ...

Re: Q26 - People ought to take into account

I understand that B doesn't exactly say that, but I'm having a hard time understanding how the other interpretation of B is necessary. If we negate it, and the current theories and the origin's practices have differences, so what? That's what the author is getting at; the fact that there were blemi...

Re: PT31, S4, Q20 - The author uses the term "rhetoric" in line

"Despite decades of rhetoric from historians of science about the need to unite issues deemed "internal" ... and those considered "external" ... that dichotomy has proven difficult to set aside." So, the author is saying that historians of science have been paying lip ...

Re: Q12 - The five senses have

Because the argument does not say that they do in fact taste/see, the argument is assuming that this is the case. (A) picks up on this and weakens the argument by denying the assumption. Sure, the synesthesiacs say they are experiencing multiple senses at a time. But they aren't actually experienci...

Re: Q18 - A person is more likely

(E) is correct. It offers an alternative explanation: it's not just that people over 65 are less likely to have a job; it's also that those who do work are less likely to receive disability benefits than their younger colleagues. However, it continues to shrink at the same rate after 65, so this se...

Re: Q25 - Inflation rates will not stabilize

The conclusion of answer choice (A) is conditional, tipped off by the conditional trigger word "without": "If no cooperation -->no safety" Our original conclusion was not conditional in this fashion. Therefore, eliminate (A). Actually this matches up with the original conclus...

Re: Q11 - Carl: Researchers who preform operations

Short summaries of Carl's point, 1) and 2), are using the same logical conditions for different subjects , and this for me is what an analogy does. Yep, Carl definitely makes statements about both humans and animals in regards to the same subject; and it definitely seems like a build up to an analo...

Re: Q15 - In 1975, a province reduced

I don't understand how B. can possibly be right when it refers to only a single event. The discrepancy is two fold. First, that revenue remained the same when the tax rate was dropped in 1975, and second, that it increased when the rate was further lowered in 1976. How does a single event in 1975 ac...

Re: Q11 - Carl: Researchers who preform operations

. Well, when I look at Carl's statement, I see Carl's analogy of comparing, 1) animals in a matter of requiring pain protocols with 2) humans in a matter of requiring pain protocols. He makes statements about both these things but doesn't actually compare them. It seems really obvious that he impli...

Re: Q25 - University president: Our pool of applicants

I still don't really get how the use the of the word "need" doesn't automatically make the answer D. "So, if we want to increase the size of our applicant pool, we NEED to raise our tuition fees" A - "The proposed explanation...applies...." Great, but if other explanati...
