121. No student at Pinewoods High takes both biology and chemistry at the same time. Ramona and Quinn are both students at Pinewoods and neither takes biology, so they must both be enrolled in chemistry.

Which one of the following arguments displays a flawed pattern of reasoning most similar to that in the argument above?
  1. No employee at Sunstar Bank is both an accountant and a manager. Because Chris is both a teller and a manager at his job, he must not work at Sunstar.
  2. No one can travel to both New York and San Diego in the same day. Because James is on a flight to New York, he clearly will not be able to go to San Diego as well.
  3. The job posting requires a candidate who can sing and dance. Beatrice can sing very well but cannot dance, so she is unqualified for the job.
  4. No one can complete a bachelor’s degree while completing a Ph.D. Raymond is not in graduate school, so he must still be working on his bachelor’s.
  5. Both law school and public policy school take multiple years to complete. Elisa only took one year to finish school, so she must not have gone to either.

122. Banning DDT was the correct decision, because DDT not only killed unwanted pests such as mosquitoes, but also killed or made infertile many desirable animals, such as bald eagles. For this reason alone the ban on DDT should be continued. In the decades since DDT has been banned, the bald eagle population has stabilized.

Which of the following most accurately expresses the argument’s main conclusion?
  1. Bald eagles are incredibly important animals.
  2. Mosquitoes are unwanted pests.
  3. DDT destroyed not only unwanted pests but also other animals.
  4. Banning DDT was the correct decision and the ban should continue.
  5. Since DDT has been banned the bald eagle population has stabilized.

123. Researchers have established that diets rich in lean poultry, fish, legumes, and fresh fruits and vegetables are the healthiest. However, on average, people who follow such a diet generally have more serious health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease, than does the general population.

Which one of the following, if true, most helps resolve the apparent paradox above?
  1. On average, the recommended diet is more expensive than an average diet, meaning few people are able to follow it.
  2. Most people only adopt the recommended diet after already developing serious health problems.
  3. The recommended diet means that many people cannot eat their favorite foods and so eventually revert back to a more conventional diet.
  4. The recommended diet has dramatic benefits for some people but only marginal benefits for others.
  5. For some people with certain genetic conditions, the recommended diet is not appropriate.

124. A theoretical framework assists academics in organizing their thoughts and making them relatable to an educated but diverse audience. However, many political scientists argue that theoretical frameworks have a Western bias, and are not appropriate for many sub fields, including comparative politics. Therefore, _________________________________.

Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
  1. There is no benefit to using a theoretical framework.
  2. Theoretical frameworks are inappropriate for the field of political science.
  3. Theoretical frameworks can be useful, but they may not be appropriate for all academic disciplines.

125. Therapist: “People suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, often struggle with social anxiety. PTSD symptoms are especially severe for people who already struggled with anxiety prior to developing PTSD. PTSD is common in military veterans, so it is important for the military to test people for anxiety disorders before they join in order to prevent people who will be more heavily impacted by PTSD from suffering its consequences.”

Which one of the following principles, if valid, most helps justify the conclusion of the argument?
  1. Therapists have a duty to understand how and why some people suffer more from certain disorders than others.
  2. If people are likely to suffer a disease, steps should be taken to ensure that their risk is lessened.
  3. The military should not refuse people the opportunity to serve just because something is more likely to happen to them.
  4. Mental illnesses should be treated just like physical illnesses.
  5. The military has a duty to only accept the most qualified recruits, and social anxiety is a weakness that cannot be tolerated.
