111. Most Christmas albums by well-known singers sell very well because consumers are already familiar with the singer. New singers are thus unlikely to make Christmas albums because they will not sell well.

The flawed reasoning in the argument above is most similar to which of the following?
  1. Most movies with R ratings are not as successful as those with PG-13 ratings. Given that a big movie star’s new movie is rated R, it will likely not be as successful as its competitor, a PG-13 movie.
  2. Many successful teachers spend at least 20 hours a week grading papers and preparing lesson plans. Because Marie spends at least 25 hours per week doing both activities, she will likely be a very successful teacher.
  3. In order for a book to sell well, it must appeal to a wide variety of people. Tricia’s latest novel appeals to only a small audience, so it will not be successful.
  4. Most discount furniture is very popular because people on many different budgets can afford it. Expensive furniture is therefore less likely to be manufactured because it will not sell as well.
  5. Tickets to the ballet are most popular around Christmas time, when the Nutcracker opens. If the Nutcracker were performed in July, it would not be as popular.

112. There is a new trend in anthropology to research overarching trends of cultural change, as opposed to learning detailed cultural information about specific, often small, groups. As many cultures are losing much of their traditional identification, including customs and language, this shift has been to the detriment of the field because we are losing the ability to learn about distinct cultures before they fade away.

The statements above, if true, most strongly support which of the following statements?
  1. Recent changes in anthropology are not positive for the field.
  2. Studying the details of distinct cultures does not have as much merit as understanding larger trends around the world.
  3. Better trained anthropologists are more likely to study a culture in depth than are others.
  4. Anthropology should be practiced in a way that allows for the most understanding about the largest segments of societies.
  5. The most alarming part of recent trends in anthropology is that new anthropologists are not finding ways to immerse themselves into their work.

113. Inhabitants of a small island off the coast of Georgia have an extremely high rate of type II diabetes. Researchers studying the cause of the high rate noted that all sufferers of type II diabetes on the island ate palm oil everyday, while healthy people ate it at most a few times per month. The researchers concluded that eating palm oil caused the type II diabetes.

Which one of the following, if true, would most strengthen the researcher’s reasoning?
  1. Most of the healthy adults never ate palm oil at all.
  2. In areas off the island, palm oil consumption is associated with high levels of heart disease.
  3. When placed on a palm-oil free diet, sufferers of type-II diabetes show fewer symptoms of the disease and in many, the disease goes away completely.
  4. Palm oil is not common in the traditional foods of the region and has only recently become popular due to its low price.
  5. Non-natives who move to the island also exhibit higher rates of type II diabetes than do people off the island.

114. Percy: “A non-profit organization’s primary responsibility is to its donors. People willingly donate to charitable organizations trusting that their money will be spent responsibly, and this trust must be respected.”

Angela: “But most charitable donors only give small amounts, and only give disposable income. Recipients of charitable aid are dependent on that aid, and so a non-profit organization should be more concerned with their opinions.”

Based on the above dialogue, Percy and Angela disagree about whether
  1. People should be more generous and donate more to charities.
  2. Donors to charities should give more of their money.
  3. Charities should be at all concerned about whether donors are happy with how their donations are spent.
  4. Charitable organizations should be more concerned with the effects of their programs or the opinions of their donors.
  5. Recipients of charitable aid are really in need or are abusing the help.

115. While many people believe that fraud is more common than ever before, it is actually much more difficult to complete a fraudulent transaction at a bank than in past years. Most banking systems are now automated, so there is less room for human error or manipulation. In addition, modern computer systems can detect suspicious activity and alert appropriate staff.

Which of the following offers the strongest support for the above statements?
  1. Most computer systems can track a person’s spending and immediately alert bank staff if they are spending in a non-typical manner.
  2. Bank customers have always been required to show some proof of identity or know a password to access accounts.
  3. The development of new technology has made many bank tellers obsolete, and the profession is shrinking.
  4. Banks often alert customers to their bank balances through phone calls, e-mail, or texts.
  5. Fraudulent currency is easy to spot because all legal currency has hidden markings to establish its validity.
