176. Tyler: “I don’t have to pay for utilities in my apartment, so I don’t care how much electricity I use. I always keep all the lights on as a way of getting the most money for what I pay in rent because my rent will stay the same regardless of how much electricity I use.”

Mila: “But that doesn’t make any sense. Even if you don’t pay for utilities separately, if you constantly use electricity it will drive up the bill for the building, which will eventually be reflected in your rent.”

Mia and Tyler disagree most over which of the following issues?
  1. Whether electricity is included in the rent for Tyler’s apartment.
  2. Whether Tyler’s electricity use is a waste of resources.
  3. Whether Tyler’s electricity use will cost him more money.
  4. Whether Tyler’s electricity use will cost his neighbors extra money.
  5. Whether Tyler’s electricity use will cost his landlord more money.

The requirements for graduation from a doctoral program include, but are not limited to, completion of a 100-page dissertation, a successful dissertation defense, and completion of all required coursework.

Which of the following, if true, would help resolve the apparent discrepancy above?
  1. Ed relies on the subway to get to and from the airport and the subway does not start running until 6 AM.

  2. It is possible to take drugs that will reduce the possibility of having a serious allergic reaction to cat dander.
  3. At least one person suffers from allergies to pollen, cats, and peanuts.
