CRITICAL REASONING OLD QUESTIONS REVIEW
1. Women generally do not receive lower pay for doing precisely the same work as men. Rather, regardless of their skills, women have disproportionately high representation in jobs traditionally paying lower wages. If job paid according to the skills and education required by them, this de facto segregation would not exist.

If the statement above are true, which of the following is most likely to be true?

(A)Some jobs performed by more men than women pay higher wages than jobs requiring comparable skills, but performed by more women than men.
(B)Regardless of sex or occupation, a person should be paid an amount sufficient to support his or her household.
(C)As men enter a field, earnings tend to rise, not only for men but also for the women in the field.
(D)Little percentage gain has occurred in the number of women holding jobs traditionally held by men.
(E)Generally accepted methods are available for evaluating the level of skill required in, and hence the appropriate pay for, any job traditionally held by women.
A):A     WHY NOT C?     [F23, Q.14]

2.Advertiser: The revenue that newspapers and magazines earn by publishing advertisements allows publishers to keep the prices per copy of their publications much lower than would otherwise be possible. Therefore, consumers benefit economically from advertising.

Consumer: But who pays for the advertising that pays for low-priced newspapers and magazines? We consumers do, because advertisers pass along advertising costs to us through the higher prices they charge for their products.

Which of the following best describes how the consumer counters the advertiser’s argument?
(A)By alleging something that, if true, would weaken the plausibility of the advertiser’s conclusion.
(B)By questioning the truth of the purportedly factual statement on which the advertiser’s conclusion is based.
(C)By offering an interpretation of the advertiser’s opening statement that, if accurate, shows that there is an implicit contradiction in it.
(D)By pointing out that the advertiser’s point of view is biased.
(E)By arguing that the advertiser too narrowly restricts the discussion to the effect of advertising that are economic.
A):A     WHY NOT  B? [F23, Q.16]
