1 In Argonia the average rate drivers pay for car accident insurance is regulated to allow insurance companies to allow insurance companies to make a reasonable profit. Under the regulations, the rate any individual driver pays never depends on the actual distance driven by that driver each year. Therefore, Argonians who drive les than average partially subsidize the insurance of those who drive more than average. The conclusion above would be properly drawn if it were also true that in Argonia A the average accident insurance rate for all drivers rises whenever a substantial number of new drivers buy insurance B the average cost to insurance companies of insuring drivers who drive les than the annual average is less than the average cost of insuring drivers who drive more than the annual average C the lower the age of a driver, the higher the insurance rate paid by that drive D insurance company profits would rise substantially if drivers were classified in terms of the actual number of miles they driver each year E drivers who have caused insurance companies to pay costly claims generally pay insurance rates that are equal to or lower than those paid by other drivers
2 It is widely assumed that a museum is helped financially when a generous patron donates a potential exhibit. In truth, however, donated objects require storage space, which is not free, and routine conservation, which is rather expensive. Therefore, such gifts exacerbate rather than lighten the demands made on a museum’s financial resourced. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above? A to keep patrons well disposed, a museum will find it advisable to put at least some donated objects on exhibit rather than merely in storage. B the people who ate most likely to donate valuable objects to a museum ate also the people who are most likely to make cash gifts to it. C a museum cannot save money by resorting to cheap storage under less than adequate conditions, because so doing would drive up the cost of conservation. D patrons expect a museum to keep donated objects in its possession rather than to raise cash by selling them. E objects donated by a patron to a museum are often of such importance that the museum would be obliged to add them to its collection through purchase if necessary.
