31-32. A survey conducted recently in the city indicated that most college welfare-aid
applicants understate the number of luxury items - such as cars and TVs - that their family
owned, in an effort to maximize the amount of aid they can claim from the city.
Paradoxically, the same study also found that many applicants claimed that they had
running water and a gas connection even when they did not.
Which of the following best explains the apparent paradox?
The city does not pay welfare unless the applicants have at least some things working for them
Claiming that they do not have a car or a TV ensures that the city looks at the applicant more
favorably
While the applicants may be willing to accept that they don't have certain things, they felt
embarrassed having to accept that they don't have most things.
Historically, at least 30% of the claims have had people understating what they have while only
22% overstated what they had.
33-34. During medieval times, the administrative system was organized such that jobs were
traditionally held within the same family. The eldest son of the village's blacksmith will
take up his father's business and become the next blacksmith. The other sons would join
the army or serve the king in some fashion while the daughters did what their mother did.
Although the world has undergone innumerable changes, the dynastic system has not
undergone any change whatsoever. Children who have fathers who played major league
baseball are 800 times more likely than other kids to become major league players
themselves.
Which of the following best refutes the author's reasoning?
In countries with a royal family, the eldest son of the king is destined to be the next king.
The blacksmith's eldest son in a mediaeval village could not choose any other profession even if
he wanted to.
A major baseball player will have better knowledge and skills and will be able to guide his son
better.
60% of the country's doctors have at least one parent who is a doctor.
It is a proven fact that success in any career is determined more by skill and practice rather than
by genetic makeup.

35-36. After reports from three schools of too much chlorine in their drinking water, the
city hired a plumbing company to revamp its running water system. The plumbing
company replaced the filtration system after the point in which groundwater is collected.
We can conclude that the three schools will no longer have a problem with too much
chlorine in their drinking water.
Which of the following does the argument depends on as an assumption?
Not all faulty water filtration systems will allow too much chlorine into the drinking water.
Water filtration systems are not the only source of too much chlorine in the drinking water.
The city has been able to successfully filter water at its water filtration plant.
The excess chlorine was not introduced into the schools' water supply at some point later than
groundwater collection.
Not all faulty water filtration systems are likely to produce excess chlorine in a drinking water
supply.
37-38. Many companies offer their employees the option of flex time. Flex time is the
practice of allowing employees to work their allotted number of hours on whatever
schedule that they choose. Flex time permits employees to work during the most convenient
hours for them, and results in increased productivity because employees are no longer as
distracted by convenience issues.
Any of the following, if true, is a valid reason for a company to offer flex time to its employees
EXCEPT:
The majority of workers in any industry report that they often conduct e-mail correspondence
outside of traditional work hours.
Reports show that employees who work from home are often less productive, and employees
who often utilize work from home options usually opt for flex time instead when their employers
offer it.
Employees who work traditional hours often miss time at work because of health care
appointments.
The majority of clients report that they prefer to conduct business over the telephone rather than
via e-mail.
Employees often exceed their lunch hours because they are running personal errands that are
more convenient to do midday
39-40. A company has decided to implement a new employee evaluation program in which
pay raises will be determined by an employee's overall rating given by his or her
supervisor. Upper management concluded that this new evaluation program would result
in pay raises for the employees with the most meritorious job performance.
Which of the following, if true, does NOT cast doubt on upper management's belief that the new
program will result in pay raises based on merit?
Supervisors' judgment of what constitutes "exceeds expectations" is subjective.
All employees who meet revenue goals cannot receive "does not meet expectations" on their
employee evaluations.
The three ratings of "does not meet expectations," "meets expectations," and "exceeds
expectations" do not provide enough information to differentiate the various levels of employee
job performance.
Supervisors who like their employees tend to rate them higher than supervisors who dislike their
employees.
