Publicly owned resources will always be abused. Take the example of cattle grazing. Where the individual has free access to publicly owned rangeland, he or she always has an incentive to graze more and more cattle regardless of the consequences, because the benefits are captured by the individual grazer while the costs of reduced range quality are borne by all taxpayers. Private landowners are less likely to abuse their own land, however, because they must pay the entire cost.
3. Which one of the following, if true, would most tend to weaken the author's argument for the conclusion that publicly owned resources will always be abused?
(A) Many people who privately own resources abuse them in spite of the personal consequences.
(B) Some publicly owned resources are so extensive that it would take widespread abuse before their quality is affected.
(C) Some individuals have no choice but to rely on public resources in the pursuit or their livelihood.
(D) People do not want to lose access to public resources, yet they realize that they will if those resources are ruined through abuse.
(E) Resources are always devalued when everyone has access to them because they are no longer a rare commodity in high demand
Ans: D
I choose A, and what does D mean?
5. The city is vigorously enforcing the ordinance against allowing individuals to sleep in the bus depot. The mayor argues that such vigorous enforcement is fair, evenhanded, and administered in the best traditions of equal treatment for all "No one can sleep in the bus depot," the mayor has said, "whether you're homeless or the chief executive of a major corporation." This brings to mind a remark once made by a political commentator. The law in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread, it's time for the mayor to come to his senses.
The passage as a whole is structured to lead which one of the following conclusions?
(A) People should not be treated equally with respect to enforcing the ordinance vigorously.
(B) Everyone should be treated equally with respect to enforcing the ordinance vigorously.
(C) The vigorous enforcement of the ordinance does not qualify as equal treatment for all
(D) The law holds poor people to stricter standards than it does rich people.
(E) In a truly equal legal system, no one would sleep in bus depots.
Ans: C , but i choose E
The economy is in a dismal state, universities are suffering from cutbacks, and many students must turn to any source of funds available if they are to make ends meet. Faced with this situation, the university has terminated the employment of some of its more productive departmental workers. Why? University regulations prohibit a student's receiving financial aid and then working for an auxiliary income that exceeds a specified limit. Employees whose incomes had reached that limit Employees whose incomes had reached that limit were terminated. Now, the university must find other employees. Unfortunately, though, the university's choice of students to fill the positions will not be based upon their abilities to perform, or even upon their financial need, but upon how much money they have made.
8. Which one of the following is the best statement or the primary point of the passage?
(A) Good student-employees should be able to obtain financial aid and, at the same time, earn auxiliary incomes without limits.
(B) In the face of a declining economy, universities need to be more lenient in their financial aid policies.
(C) University departments must adhere to the university's regulations.
(D) Decisions about student employment should be based entirely upon each student's financial need.
(E) Due to the problems created by a dismal economy, some student-workers have lost their jobs.
