As a direct result,[url=] the cost of those products to the buyers, several export-dependent industries in Z, went up, sharply limiting the ability of those industries to compete effectively in their export markets.[/url][c1]

Which of the following conclusions about Country Z’s adversely affected export-dependent industries is best supported by the passage?

(A) Profit margins in those industries [url=]were not high[/url][c2] enough to absorb the rise in costs mentioned above. A

(B) Those industries had to contend with [url=]the fact that other countries banned imports[/url][c3] from

Country Z.

(C) Those industries [url=]succeeded in expanding the domestic marke[/url][c4] t for their products.

(D) Steps to offset rising materials costs by[url=] decreasing labo[/url][c5] r costs were taken in those

industries.

(E) Those industries[url=] started to move into [/url][c6] export markets that they had previously judged

unprofitable.

91. Environmentalist: The commissioner of the Fish and Game Authority would have the public believe that increases in the number of marine fish caught demonstrate that this resource is no longer endangered. [url=]This is a specious argument,[/url][c1] [url=]as unsound as it would be to assert that the ever-increasing rate at which rain forests are being cut down demonstrates a lack of danger to that resource. The real cause of the increased fish-catch is a greater efficiency in using technologies that deplete resources.[/url][c2]

The environmentalist’s statements, if true, best support which of the following as a conclusion?

(A) [url=]The use of technology[/url][c3] is the reason for the increasing encroachment of people on nature.

(B) It is possible to[url=] determine how many fis[/url][c4] h are in the sea in some way other than by catching fish.

(C) The proportion of marine fish that are caught is[url=] as high as[/url][c5] the proportion of rain forest trees that are cut down each year.

(D)[url=] Modern technologies waste resources[/url][c6] by catching inedible fish.

[url=](E)[/url][c7] Marine fish continue to be an endangered resource. E

X101. For a trade embargo against a particular country to succeed, a high degree of both international accord and ability to prevent goods from entering or leaving that country must be sustained. A total blockade of Patria’s ports is necessary to an embargo, but [url=]such an action would be likely to cause international discord over the embargo.[/url][c1]

The claims above, if true, most strongly support which of the following conclusions?

(A)[url=] The balance of opinion[/url][c2] is likely to favor Patria in the event of a blockade.

(B) As long as international opinion is unanimously against Patria, [url=]a trade embargo is likely to succeed.[/url][c3]

(C) A naval blockade of Patria’s ports would[url=]ensure that no goods enter[/url][c4] or leave Patria.

102. Theater Critic: The play La Finestrina, now at Central Theater, was written in Italy in the eighteenth century. The director claims that[url=] this production is as similar to the original production as is possible in a modern theater[/url][c1] . Although [url=]the actor who plays Harlequin the clown gives a performance very reminiscent of the twentieth-century American comedian Groucho Marx, Marx[/url]’s comic style was very much within the comic acting tradition that had begun in sixteenth-century Italy.[c2]

The considerations given[url=] best serve as part of [/url][c3] an argument that

(A)[url=] modern audiences[/url][c4] would find it hard to tolerate certain characteristics of a historically accurate performance of an eighteenth-century play

(B) Groucho Marx [url=]once performed [/url][c5] the part of the character Harlequin in La Finestrina

(C) in the United States the [url=]training[/url][c6] of actors in the twentieth century is based on principles that do not differ radically from those that underlay the training of actors in eighteenth-century Italy

[url=](D)[/url][c7]
the performance of the actor who plays Harlequin in La Finestrina does not serve as evidence against the director’s claimD

(E) the director of La Finestrina [url=]must have advised[/url][c8] the actor who plays Harlequin to model his performance on comic performances of Groucho Marx

19. A computer equipped with signature-recognition software, which restricts access to a computer to those people whose signatures are on file , identifies a person's signature by analyzing not only the form of the signature but also such characteristics as pen pressure and signing speed. [url=]Even the most adept forgers cannot duplicate all of the characteristics the program analyzes.[/url][c1]

Which of the following can be logically concluded from the passage above?

(A) [url=]The time[/url][c2] it takes to record and analyze a signature makes the software impractical for everyday use.

Q43. [url=]Laws requiring the use of headlights during daylight hours can prevent automobile collisions[/url][c1] . However, since daylight visibility is worse in countries farther from the equator, any such laws[url=] would obviously be more effective in preventing collisions in those countries. In fact. the only countries that actually have such laws are farther from the equator than is the continental United States.[/url][c2]

Which of the following conclusions could be most properly drawn from the information given above?

(A) Drivers in the continental United States who used their headlights during the day would be just [url=]as likely to become involved in a collision as[/url][c3] would drivers who did not use their headlights.

(B) In many countries that are farther from the equator than is the continental United States, poor daylight visibility is[url=] the single most important factor[/url][c4] in automobile collisions.

(C) The [url=]proportion [/url][c5] of automobile collisions that occur in the daytime is greater in the continental United States than in the countries that have Daytime headlight laws.

(D) [url=]Fewer[/url][c6] automobile collisions probably occur each year in countries that have daytime headlight laws than occur within the continental United States.

[url=](E)[/url][c7] Daytime headlight laws would probably do less to prevent automobile collisions in the continental United States than they do in the countries that have the laws. E

(B) The system would[url=] be destroyed[/url][c5] if an explosion of a large meteorite occurred in the Earth's atmosphere.

(C) It would be impossible for the system to [url=]distinguish[/url][c6] the explosion of a large meteorite from the explosion of a nuclear weapon.

(D) Whether the system would respond inappropriately to the explosion of a large meteorite would depend on the [url=]location[/url][c7] of the blast.

(E) It is not certain [url=]what the system's response to the explosion of a large meteorite would be,[/url][c8] if its designers did not plan for such a contingency. E

64. High levels of fertilizer and pesticides, needed when farmers try to produce high yields of the same crop year after year, pollute water supplies. Experts therefore urge farmers to diversify their crops and to rotate their plantings yearly. To receive governmental price-support benefits for a crop, farmers must have produced that same crop for the past several years.

The statements above, if true, best support which of the following conclusions?

[url=](A) [/url][c1] The rules for governmental support of farm prices work against efforts to reduce water pollution. A

(8) [url=]The only solution [/url][c2] to the problem of water pollution from fertilizers and pesticides is to take farmland out of production.

(C) Farmers can continue to[url=] make a profit[/url][c3] by rotating diverse crops, thus reducing costs for chemicals, but not by planting the same crop each year.

(D) [url=]New farming technique[/url][c4] s will be developed to make it possible for farmers to reduce the application of fertilizers and pesticides.

(E) Governmental price supports for farm products are set at levels that are not high enough to allow farmers to get [url=]out of debt.[/url][c5]
