Which of the following, if true, most logically completes the passage?
A recent poll found that over 80 percent of the residents of Nalmed Province favored a massive expansion of the commuter rail system as a means of significantly easing congestion on the province’s highways and were willing to help pay for the expansion through an increase in their taxes. Nevertheless, the poll results indicate that expansion of the rail system, if successfully completed, would be unlikely to achieve its goal of easing congestion, because _______.
- most people in favor of expanding the rail system reported less congestion during their highway commute as the primary benefit they would experience
- of the less than 20 percent of residents not counted as favoring the expansion, about half claimed to have no opinion one way or the other
- the twice-daily periods of peak congestion caused by people commuting in cars have grown from about an hour each to almost two and a half hours each in the past 20 years
- expanding the commuter rail system will require the construction of dozens of miles of new railbed
- the proposed expansion to the commuter rail system will make it possible for some people who both live and work at suburban locations to commute by rail

Q7:
Although the discount stores in Goreville’s central shopping district are expected to close within five years as a result of competition from a SpendLess discount department store that just opened, those locations will not stay vacant for long. In the five years since the opening of Colson’s, a nondiscount department store, a new store has opened at the location of every store in the shopping district that closed because it could not compete with Colson’s.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
- Many customers of Colson’s are expected to do less shopping there than they did before the SpendLess store opened.
- Increasingly, the stores that have opened in the central shopping district since Colson’s opened have been discount stores.
- At present, the central shopping district has as many stores operating in it as it ever had.
- Over the course of the next five years, it is expected that Goreville’s population will grow at a faster rate than it has for the past several decades.
- Many stores in the central shopping district sell types of merchandise that are not available at either SpendLess or Colson’s.

Q13: ?
The traditional treatment of strep infections has been a seven-day course of antibiotics, either penicillin or erythromycin. However, since many patients stop taking those drugs within three days, reinfection is common in cases where those drugs are prescribed. A new antibiotic requires only a three-day course of treatment. Therefore, reinfection will probably be less common in cases where the new antibiotic is prescribed than in cases where either penicillin or erythromycin is prescribed.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
- Some of the people who are allergic to penicillin are likely to be allergic to the new antibiotic.
- A course of treatment with the new antibiotic costs about the same as a course of treatment with either penicillin or erythromycin.
- The new antibiotic has been shown to be effective in eradicating bacterial infections other than strep.
- Some physicians have already begun to prescribe the new antibiotic instead of penicillin or erythromycin for the treatment of some strep infections.
- Regardless of whether they take a traditional antibiotic or the new one, most patients feel fully recovered after taking the drug for three days.
