Argument

• The following appeared in a memo from the new vice president of Sartorian, a company that manufactures men's clothing.

"Five years ago, at a time when we had difficulties in obtaining reliable supplies of high quality wool fabric, we discontinued production of our alpaca overcoat. Now that we have a new fabric supplier, we should resume production. This coat should sell very well: since we have not offered an alpaca overcoat for five years and since our major competitor no longer makes an alpaca overcoat, there will be pent-up customer demand. Also, since the price of most types of clothing has increased in each of the past five years, customers should be willing to pay significantly higher prices for alpaca overcoats than they did five years ago, and our company profits will increase."

• A recent sales study indicates that consumption of seafood dishes in Bay City restaurants has increased by 30 percent during the

past five years. Yet there are no currently operating city restaurants whose specialty is seafood. Moreover, the majority of families in Bay City are two-income families, and a nationwide study has shown that such families eat significantly fewer home-cooked meals than they did a decade ago but at the same time express more concern about healthful eating. Therefore, the new Captain Seafood restaurant that specializes in seafood should be quite popular and profitable.

• The following appeared on the Mozart School of Music Web site.

"The Mozart School of Music should be the first choice for parents considering enrolling their child in music lessons. First of all, the Mozart School welcomes youngsters at all ability and age levels; there is no audition to attend the school. Second, the school offers instruction in nearly all musical instruments as well a wide range of styles and genres from classical to rock. Third, the faculty includes some of the most distinguished musicians in the area. Finally, many Mozart graduates have gone on to become well-known and highly paid professional musicians."

• The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a Batavia newspaper.
  

"The department of agriculture in Batavia reports that the number of dairy farms throughout the country is now 25 percent greater than it was 10 years ago. During this same time period, however, the price of milk at the local Excello Food Market has increased from $1.50 to over $3.00 per gallon. To prevent farmers from continuing to receive excessive profits on an apparently increased supply of milk, the Batavia government should begin to regulate retail milk prices. Such regulation is necessary to ensure fair prices for consumers."

Some archaeologists speculate that the Americas might have been initially colonized between 40,000 and 25,000 years ago. However, to support this theory it is necessary to explain the absence of generally accepted habitation sites for that time interval in what is now the United States. Australia, which has a smaller land area than the United States, has many such sites, supporting the generally accepted claim that the continent was colonized by humans at least 40,000 years ago. Australia is less densely populated (resulting in lower chances of discovering sites) and with its overall greater aridity would have presented conditions less favorable for hunter-gatherer occupation. Proportionally, at least as much land area has been lost from the coastal regions of Australia because of postglacial sea-level rise as in the United States, so any coastal archaeological record in Australia should have been depleted about as much as a coastal record in the United States. Since there are so many resource-rich rivers leading inland from the United States coastlines, it seems implausible that a growing population of humans would have confined itself to coasts for thousands of years. If inhabitants were present 25,000 years ago, the chances of their appearing in the archaeological record would seem to be greater than for Australia.

1.The passage is primarily concerned with doing which of the following?  

A. Presenting an objection to a claim  

B. Accounting for an apparent anomaly  

C. Outlining an alternative interpretation  

D. Correcting a particular misconception

E. Questioning the validity of a comparison    

2.The author of the passage implies which of the following about 25,000 years ago?  

A. The coastline of the region that is now the United States is longer than it was 40,000 years ago.  

B. Rivers in what is now the United States were numerous than they are now.  

C. Australia was less densely populated at that time than was the region that is now the United States.  

D. Australia’s climate was significantly drier than it is now.

E. Global sea level was lower than it is now.    

3.The author of the passage implies that, in what is now the United States, archaeological evidence of inhabitation in the period from 40,000 to 25,000 years ago is lacking because that region is  

A. had its oldest habitation sites inundated following a postglacial rise in sea level  

B. has many resource-rich rivers that facilitated the dispersal of early inhabitants from an initial concentration in coastal areas  

C. was sparsely populated until about 25,000 years ago

D. was colonized less than 25,000 years ago  

E. was inhabited only by hunter-gatherers until 25,000 years ago

Sportfishers introduced the Zander, a type of perch, to Britain’s rivers and canals in the 1970s. Because zander eat large numbers of smaller fish, they have had a devastating effect on native fish populations. To protect the native fish, a government program removed a significant proportion of the zander from Britain’s waterways last year. Surprisingly, this year the loss of native fish to zander has been greater than before.

4. Which of the following, if true, would most help to explain the greater effect of zander on the native fish population?

A. The climate in Britain is very similar to the climate in regions to which zander are native.

B. Most of the zander removed were fully grown, and fully grown zander eat large numbers of smaller zander.

C. Every year a large number of zander are caught by sportfisher in Britain’s waterway.

D. Previous government program designed to remove nonnative species from Britain’s waterways have failed.

E. Zander are just one of several nonnative fish that prey on the other fish found in Britain’s waterway.
