　　1.The ancient Greek playwright Euripides followed the established conventions of verse composition less rigorously at the end of his career than at the beginning.Since the lines from a recently discovered Euripidean play adhere to those conventions as rigorously as do lines from Euripides&apos early plays, the recently discovered play must have been composed early in Euripides’career.

　　Which of the following is an assumption made in the argument?

　　(A) All of Euripides&apos plays were written in verse.

　　(B) Euripides did not write any plays late in his career in which he imitated the style of his early plays.

Average fuel ficiency of new domestic cars has not improved since, but the difference in average fuel ficiencies of new domestic cars and new imported cars has steadily decreased.

　　If the statements above are true, which of the following must also be true on the basis of them?

　　(A) Average fuel ficiency of domestic cars manufactured after 1988 was better than that of imported cars manufactured bore 1988.

　　(B) Average fuel ficiency of newly manufactured domestic cars has steadily worsened since 1988.

　　3. Between 1970 and 1980, energy consumption by United States industry peaked and then declined, so that by 1980 total industrial use of energy was below the 1970 level even though total industrial output had grown substantially in the same period. Industry must have instituted highly fective energy conservation measures in those years to have achieved such impressive results.

　　Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion of the argument?

　　(A) Many industries switched to the greatest extent possible from high-priced oil to lower-priced alternatives throughout the 1970&aposs.

　　(B) Total residential energy consumption was higher in the United States in 1980 than it had been in 1970

　　4.Many people acquire software programs for their home computers by illegally copying those programs rather than purchasing them. People who own home computers must be making, on average, fewer illegal copies of software programs than bore, however,since the average number of software programs that people purchase to use on their home computers has increased substantially over the past five years.

　　Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

　　(A) The number of home computers in use has increased substantially over the past five years.

　　(B) Five years ago, about half of the software programs used on home computers had been illegally copied rather than purchased.

　　5.From a newspaper editorial：Many people who are addicted to heroin will eventually attempt to overcome their addiction, principally for two reasons：the expense of maintaining a heroin addiction and the fear of arrest. If heroin were legalized and made available cheaply, as some people advocate, neither of these reasons would apply The considerations above can best serve as part of an argument that

　　(A) legalizing the sale of heroin would cause the price of this drug to go down

　　(B) making it easier for heroin addicts to obtain treatment for their addiction would encourage many heroin addicts to attempt to overcome their addiction

　　(C) legalizing the sale of heroin would increase the number of crimes committed by heroin addicts to support their addiction

　　(D) making heroin available legally and cheaply would make it less likely that heroin addicts will attempt to overcome their addiction

　　(E) decreasing the severity of penalties for individuals who use heroin would not increase the number of new heroin addicts

　　6.Stem borers are insect pests that often ruin North American corn crops. On some other continents, crop damage by stem borers is controlled by a certain species of wasp.

　　Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

　　(A) Corn is the principal food of stem borers that live on continents other than North America.

　　(B) The wasps are capable of surviving in North America long enough to eat significant numbers of stem borers.

　　(C) No wasp in North America is closely related to the species of wasp that eats stem borers.

　　(D) On continent other than North America, the wasps control stem borers more fectively than does any other pest control measure.

　　7.In the country of Laurelia, legal restrictions on the sale of lock-picking equipment were relaxed ten years ago,and since then Laurelia&aposs burglary rate has risen dramatically. Hence, since legally purchased lock-picking equipment was used in most burglaries, reintroducing strict limits on the sale of this equipment would help to reduce Laurelia&aposs burglary rate.

　　Which of the following, if true, gives the strongest support to the argument?

　　(A) Laurelia&aposs overall crime rate has risen dramatically over the last ten years.

　　(B) There is wide popular support in Laurelia for the reintroduction of strict limits on the sale of lock-picking equipment.

　　(C) The reintroduction of strict limits on the sale of lock-picking equipment in Laurelia would not prevent legitimate use of this equipment by police and other public safety officials.

　　8.Salesperson：The picture tube is the central component of any television, and Picturesque televisions use the same high-quality picture tubes as those used in TruVue televisions. Since you pay a much lower price for a Picturesque, you pay a lower price for a television with the same picture quality when you buy a Picturesque instead of a TruVue.

　　Which of the following is an assumption that, if justified, would allow the conclusion of the sales-person&aposs argument to be properly drawn?

　　(A) TruVue televisions are much more widely advertised than are Picturesque televisions.

　　9.In a recent film set in seventeenth-century Europe, the hero is seen doing the crawl, a swimming stroke not known in Europe bore the 1920&aposs.However, since moviegoers obviously are not experts in the history of swimming strokes, for most of the film&aposs audiences this blunder clearly cannot have interfered with whatever sense of historical authenticity the film otherwise achieved.

　　Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument given?

　　(A) The film was widely praised for being historically plausible, even though it portrayed many events that were not historically attested.

　　(B) The scene that shows the film&aposs hero doing the crawl is a rescue scene pivotal to the film&aposs action,and parts of it are even shown a second time, in a flashback.

　　(C) Makers of historical films, even of those set as recently as the nineteenth century, routinely strike compromises between historical authenticity and the need to keep their material accessible to a modern audience, as in the actors&apos speech patterns.

　　(D) The crawl that European swimmers used in the 1920&aposs was much less ficient and more awkward-looking than the crawl that is currently taught.

　　(E) A slightly earlier film featuring an eighteenth century sea battle in Europe was ridiculed in numerous popular reviews for the historical lapse of showing a sailor doing the crawl in swimming to safety.

　　10.The government of Pontran claims that Tor City, one of the six major cities in that country, is alone among Pontran&aposs cities in having sustained strong job growth this year. Clearly, however, any job growth this year. Clearly, however, any job growth there must be purely imaginary; in fact, in Tor City and only there, more people are unemployed this year than were last year.

　　The argument countering the government&aposs claim depends on the assumption that：

　　(A) unemployed workers in Pontran did not, in significant numbers, move to Tor City when the government claimed Tor City had strong job growth

　　(B) the unemployment rate in Tor City is higher year than in any previous year

　　(C) actions taken by the government of Pontran significantly affect the unemployment rate in Tor City

　　(D) the unemployment rate in Tor City, though increased, is still the lowest of any city in Pontran

　　(E) there is no significant seasonal variation in the unemployment rate for Pontran as a whole

　　11.As people age, the number of calories they need each day decreases while their daily requirement of vitamin B6 increases. Clearly, unless older people take B6 supplements or eat a diet that contains more B6 than did the diet they ate when they were young adults, there is little likelihood that they will get B6 in needed amounts.

　　Which of the following would be most helpful to know to evaluate the argument?

　　(A) Whether the relative decrease in the daily requirement of calories is greater than the relative increase in the daily requirement of vitamin B6.

　　(B) Whether the form of vitamin B6 found in dietary supplements is more readily absorbed and utilized by the body than is the form of this vitamin that is found in food.

　　(C) Whether the consequences of not getting vitamin B6 in required daily amounts are more serious for older people than for young adults.

　　(D) Whether the diets of most people, when they are young adults, include vitamin B6 in amounts far in excess of their daily needs.

　　(E) Whether the diets of older people are more likely than those of young adults to include one or more meals a day that are devoid of foods containing vitamin B6.
