151. Most universities today offer students a more well-rounded and comprehensive education than in years past. Today, most students in the humanities and social sciences are required to learn about history, culture, and politics in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, which was not required many years ago. Courses are no longer limited to just Europe or North America, and students stand to benefit from this change.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument above?
  1. Many students are inspired to study abroad after taking courses covering other countries.
  2. The extent to which courses cover issues around the world is an appropriate standard for judging the comprehensiveness of a student’s education.
  3. Science courses at universities have also expanded the diversity of their subject matter.
  4. University students who do not take courses with a global approach know less about global affairs.
  5. The courses that are most popular with students often deal with global issues.

152. The government has recently begun a policy requiring all private bus companies to keep records of crashes and breakdowns, to allow consumers to make more informed decisions about their own transportation. The effort is misguided, however, because the policy will just encourage bus companies to be less rigorous in categorizing crashes or breakdowns, or to be less likely to report problems so they will not tarnish their image.

The reasoning in the argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it
  1. Fails to consider that even if not complete, some information is better than no information for consumers.
  2. Presumes, without providing justification, that the public will pay attention to such reports.
  3. Fails to consider what the effect will be on revenue for the bus companies.
  4. Presumes, without providing justification, that the information is not already collected by a private source.
  5. Presumes, without providing justification, that the public has a right to access such information.

153. Bob claims that money is his biggest motivator when searching for a job. But Bob just turned down a job for $50,000 a year in favor of a $40,000 a year job. Clearly Bob is lying to himself about what really motivates him.

Each of the following, if true, would undermine the conclusion of the argument EXCEPT:
  1. The lower paying job will not require Bob to commute, allowing him to sell his car and walk to work.
  2. The lower paying job has a profit sharing system allowing him to invest in the company.
  3. The lower paying job gives a $10,000 bonus to each employee every year.
  4. The lower paying job will allow Bob to work fewer hours than the higher paying job.
  5. The $40,000 job has a generous benefits package that makes up for the difference in salary.
