1、A significant number of complex repair jobs carried out by Ace Repairs have to be reworked under the company’s warranty.The reworked jobs are invariably satisfactory.When initial repairs are inadequate, therefore, it is not because the mechanics lack competence; rather, there is clearly a level of focused concentration that complex repairs require that is elicited more reliably by rework jobs than by first-time jobs.
The argument above assumes which of the following?
A.!There is no systematic difference in membership between the group of mechanics who do first-time jobs and the group of those who do rework jobs.
B.There is no company that successfully competes with Ace Repairs for complex repair jobs.
C.Ace Repairs’ warranty is good on first-time jobs but does not cover rework jobs.
D.Ace Repairs does not in any way penalize mechanics who have worked on complex repair jobs that later had to be reworked.
E.There is no category of repair jobs in which Ace Repairs invariably carries out first-time jobs satisfactorily.

2. Printwell’s Ink Jet Division manufactures ink-jet printers and the ink cartridges they use.Sales of its ink-jet printers have increased.Monthly revenues from those sales, however, have not increased, because competition has forced Printwell to cut the prices of its printers.Unfortunately, Printwell has been unable to bring down the cost of manufacturing a printer.Thus, despite the increase in printer sales, the Ink Jet Division must be providing the company with much smaller than it used to.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A.Ink-jet printers in regular use frequently need new ink cartridges, and Printwell’s printers only accept Printwell’s ink cartridges.
B.Unlike some competing companies, Printwell sells all of its printers through retailers, and these retailers’ costs account for a sizable proportion of the printers’ ultimate retail price.
C.Some printer manufacturers have been forced to reduce the sale price of their ink-jet printers even more than Printwell has.
D.In the past year, no competing manufacturer of ink-jet printers has had as great an increase in unit sales of printers as Printwell has.
E.In the past year, sales of Printwell’s ink-jet printers have increased more than sales of any other type of printer made by Printwell.
the passage states that the first level of repair is not of good quality but the second level of repair work is good.
it immediately comes to the conclusion that Mechanics concenteration is the reason behind the level of work.
If this has to be true or for anyother worker related argument to be true, the passage should first state / assume that the Mechanics at both levels are equally qualified and their work environment is the same.
