1. Melody applied to be an education policy consultant in the mayor’s office. The mayor has instituted a requirement that anyone employed by her office must have a bachelor’s degree and two years of relevant work experience, and must pass a drug test.

The hiring manager’s conclusion is logical if which of the following is assumed?
  1. If Melody had two years of experience, she would have been hired by the mayor’s office.
  2. A consultant is an employee of the mayor’s office.
  3. The mayor agreed with the hiring manager’s decision.
  4. The position of education policy consultant requires a graduate degree in addition to the other requirements.

  1. West Dakota experienced unseasonably cold weather following the regulation, averaging 10 degrees Fahrenheit each day.
  2. A province of West Dakota faced a raging wildfire for more than three weeks in October.
  3. Many citizens turned to using a wood stove to heat their homes, but wood stove emissions are higher than those of wood fireplaces.

3. Announcer: “The Wilson vacuum is the best vacuum of any on the market today. It is quiet, light to carry, and works on hardwood floors, tile, or carpet. We asked 100 people to try the Wilson in our showroom and 99 of them told us the floors and carpets looked cleaner than their own. There is no better value on the market today for consumers wanting a clean home, and you will be 100% satisfied with your new Wilson.”

The announcer’s reasoning is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it fails to consider whether:
  1. The consumers tested were aware of the price of the vacuum.
  2. The Wilson vacuum costs more than most other vacuums.
  3. The consumers tested were able to compare it to another vacuum.
  4. Any of the consumers had the opportunity to ask questions about the vacuum.
  5. The consumers knew that they were using a Wilson vacuum.

4. Both Studio X and Studio Y produced movies about aliens fighting famous superheroes. Studio Y’s movie, Aliens vs. Heroman, came out on January 1st and Studio X’s film, Martians and Warriors, premiered on March 1st.

Which one of the following most accurately expresses the conclusion expressed above?
  1. Studio X and Studio Y collaborate on their ideas for movies.
  2. Both Studio X and Studio Y like to make movies based on popular characters.
  3. Studio X’s film premiered before Studio Y’s film.
  4. Despite the similarity of the films, Studio X and Studio Y both made blockbuster movies.
  5. The films’ similarity is most likely due to the fact that both aliens and superheroes are popular movie subjects that are lucrative to produce.
