Question 1
In Los Angeles, a political candidate who buys saturation radio advertising will get
maximum name recognition.
The statement above logically conveys which of the following?
A. Radio advertising is the most important factor in political campaigns in Los
Angeles.
B. Maximum name recognition in Los Angeles will help a candidate to win a
higher percentage of votes cast in the city.
C. Saturation radio advertising reaches every demographically distinct sector of
the voting population of Los Angeles.
D. For maximum name recognition a candidate need not spend on media
channels other than radio advertising.
E. A candidate's record of achievement in the Los Angeles area will do little to
affect his or her name recognition there.
Answers and Explanations
D
An L.A. political candidate who buys saturation radio advertising will get maximum
name recognition. In other words, such advertising is sufficient for maximum name
recognition. If so, then it must be true that, as (D) says, a candidate can get such
recognition without spending on other forms of media.

Question 2
The rate of violent crime in this state is up 30 percent from last year. The fault lies
entirely in our court system: Recently our judges' sentences have been so lenient
that criminals can now do almost anything without fear of a long prison term.
The argument above would be weakened if it were true that
A. 85 percent of the other states in the nation have lower crime rates than does
this state.
B. White collar crime in this state has also increased by over 25 percent in the
last year.
C. 35 percent of the police in this state have been laid off in the last year due to
budget cuts.
D. Polls show that 65 percent of the population in this state opposes capital
punishment.
E. The state has hired 25 new judges in the last year to compensate for deaths
and retirements.
Answers and Explanations
C
If we can show that something besides the court system may explain the increase in
crime we would weaken the argument. The author assumes that there is no other
cause. Tackle the choices, looking for another cause besides the allegedly lenient
court sentences.
(A) Does not compare one state to another. The argument's scope is the crime rate
increase in this particular state only. In (B), the fact that white collar crime is also on
the rise strengthens rather than weakens the argument. (C) presents an alternative
explanation for the increase in crime (reduction in police). As for (D), what if 65
percent of people in the state oppose capital punishment? This provides little insight
into why crime has gone up since last year. (E) tells us that numerous judges have
been replaced in the last year. It is possible that the new judges are more lenient,
but this would only strengthen the author's argument.

Question 3
3. The increase in the number of newspaper articles exposed as fabrications serves
to bolster the contention that publishers are more interested in boosting circulation
than in printing the truth. Even minor publications have staffs to check such obvious
fraud.
The argument above assumes that
A. Newspaper stories exposed as fabrications are a recent phenomenon.
B. Everything a newspaper prints must be factually verifiable.
C. Fact checking is more comprehensive for minor publications than for major
ones.
D. Only recently have newspapers admitted to publishing intentionally fraudulent
stories.
E. The publishers of newspapers are the people who decide what to print in their
newspapers.
Answers and Explanations
E
Evidence: more newspaper articles exposed as fabrications.
Conclusion: Publishers want to increase circulation, not print the truth.
This conclusion makes sense only if we assume (E), that the publishers are the ones
who decide what to print. If (E) weren't true and this decision was up to someone
other than the publisher, the argument would fall apart.

Question 4
Time and again it has been shown that students who attend colleges with low
faculty/student ratios get the most well-rounded education. As a result, when my
children are ready to attend college, I'll be sure they attend a school with a very
small student population.
Which of the following, if true, identifies the greatest flaw in the reasoning above?
A. A low faculty/student ratio is the effect of a well-rounded education, not its
source.
B. Intelligence should be considered the result of childhood environment, not
advanced education.
C. A very small student population does not by itself, ensure a low
faculty/student ratio.
D. Parental desires and preferences rarely determine a child's choice of a college
or university.
E. Students must take advantage of the low faculty/student ratio by intentionally
choosing small classes.
Answers and Explanations
C
The evidence says that students who attend colleges with low faculty/student ratios
get well-rounded educations, but the conclusion is that the author will send his kids
to colleges with small student populations. Since colleges can have the second
without necessarily having the first, (C) is correct.

Question 5
All German philosophers, except for Marx, are idealists.
From which of the following can the statement above be most properly inferred?
A. Except for Marx, if someone is an idealist philosopher, then he or she is
German.
B. Marx is the only non-German philosopher who is an idealist.
C. If a German is an idealist, then he or she is a philosopher, as long as he or
she is not Marx.
D. Marx is not an idealist German philosopher.
E. Aside from the philosopher Marx, if someone is a German philosopher, then
he or she is an idealist.
Answers and Explanations
E
The question stem asks you to pick the choice from which the statement can be
derived, and that's (E). If, as (E) says, anyone who is German is an idealist except
for Marx, then all Germans except for Marx are idealists. That being the case, it
would certainly be true that, as the stimulus says, with the exception of Marx, all
German philosopher—being a subset of all Germans—are idealists. While this may
sound absurd, we're concerned with strict logic here, not content.


Question 1
Does x = y?
(1) x2 - y2 = 0
(2) (x - y)2 = 0
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
Answer and Explanations
B
(1) Insufficient. It may look like the two are equal, but not necessarily. All the
statement tells us is that x2 is equal to y2. That doesn't mean that x equals y,
because one could be negative and the other positive.
(2) Sufficient. This tells us that (x - y) (x - y) = 0. So, (x - y) = 0. The only way the
difference between the two variables can be 0 is if they are the same.

Question 2
If R is an integer, is R evenly divisible by 3?
(1) 2R is evenly divisible by 3
(2) 3R is evenly divisible by 3
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
Answer and Explanations
A
(1) Sufficient. Since the quantity 2R is divisible by 3, one of those two factors must
be divisible by 3. Since 1 isn't; R must be.
(2) Insufficient. We know that quantity 3R is evenly divisible by 3, which means
that at least one of the factors must be divisible by 3. The problem, though, is that 3
is evenly divisible by 3, making it impossible for us to determine if R is.



Question 3
If he did not stop along the way, what speed did Bill average on his 3-hour trip?
(1) He traveled a total of 120 miles.
(2) He traveled half the distance at 30 miles per hour, and half the distance at 60
miles per hour.
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
Answer and Explanations
D
(1) Sufficient. With the distance known, we could plug it into the rate formula and
computer Bill's rate.
(2) Sufficient. If he covered the same distance at 30 mph as he did at 60 mph, he
must have been travelling at 30 mph for twice as long as he was at 60 mph. Given
that he travelled for 3 hours, he travelled at 30 mph for 2 hours and 60 mph for 1
hour. That comes to 120 miles total distance, and again we solve for the rate.

Question 4
Is x + y positive?
(1) x - y is positive.
(2) y - x is negative.
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
Answer and Explanations
E
(1) Insufficient. Pick 10 for x and 5 for y. This satisfies the statement and would
allow us to answer "yes" to the question. We can't stop here though; we have to try
different values to see if we can answer the question, "no." Try 5 for x and -10 for y.
These values satisfy statement (1) but allow us to answer the question "no."
(2) Insufficient. Try the same values. Those values allow us to answer "no" to the
question. But we need to consider other values. If we set y equal to -5 and x equal
to 10, we can answer "yes" to the question.
You could guess between (C) and (E) or you could plug in some more numbers. As it
turns out the two statements are equivalent. So they are just as insufficient together
as they are separate.

Question 5
A shopper bought a tie and a belt during a sale. Which item did he buy at the greater
dollar value?
(1) He bought the tie at a 20 percent discount.
(2) He bought the belt at a 25 percent discount
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
Answer and Explanations
E
(1) Insufficient. Only information about the tie is given. We know nothing about the
belt.
(2) Insufficient. Only information about the belt is given. We know nothing about
the tie.
All we can determine is that a greater percentage discount was obtained on the belt.
Whether this translates into a greater dollar discount cannot be determined.
