1. A reliable survey indicates that college graduates change employers four times on average during the first ten years after college graduation. Therefore, in order to avoid employee turnover, business administrators in charge of hiring new employees should favor job applicants who obtained college degrees at least ten years earlier over other job applicants.

The advice about how to avoid employee turnover rests on which of the following assumptions?

(A) Employee turnover among businesses that hire employees without college degrees is greater than turnover among businesses that hire only employees with college degrees.

(B) Job changes within the same company are less common than job changes from one employer to another.

(C) Employees who graduated from college at least ten years ago change employers less frequently on average than other employees.

(D) Most employees who leave their jobs do so upon either request or demand of their employers rather than by their own initiative.

(E) The survey excluded college graduates who interrupted their vocational careers to pursue advanced academic degrees.


2. This county's current dumping ordinance, which requires that all refuse be hauled at least ten miles outside the city limits for dumping, should be repealed in the interest of public health. The purpose of the ordinance in the first place was to prevent the spread of Smith's Disease, which has been found to be most prevalent in regions near outdoor dumps. But the county funds used to maintain the roads to the dumping sites have been diverted from a proposed countrywide education program for Smith's Disease awareness, which would have been more effective than the dumping ordinance in preventing the disease.

Which of the following, if true, would best support the assertion that the dumping ordinance should be repealed?

(A) The geographic area within the city limits is more heavily populated than the area outside the city limits.

(B) Treating Smith's Disease is more expensive on average than preventing it in the first place.

(C) The roads to the dumping sites are of no practical use other than for transport between the city limits and the dumping sites.

(D) The proposed education program would have been available to all county residents.

(E) The most effective means of preventing Smith's disease is an expensive vaccine that is not readily available.

3. Topical application of oil from the bark of aoli trees, which are quite rare and grow only in certain regions of South America, has been shown to be the only effective means of treating certain skin disorders. At the current rate of harvesting bark for aoli oil, however, aoli trees will become extinct within fifty years. Clearly, measures must be taken soon to reduce the demand for aoli oil; otherwise, fifty years from now, it will no longer be possible to treat these skin disorders effectively.

Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the argument above?

(A) One of the skin disorders for which aoli oil is an effective treatment is caused by exposure to chemicals used in a manufacturing process that is quickly becoming obsolete.

(B) The bark of newly planted aoli trees can be harvested for oil within twenty years after the new trees are planted.

(C) The cause of skin disorders treatable with aoli oil is also the cause of certain other health problems that are treated effectively by ingesting aoli oil.

(D) In South America, aoli tree bark is widely used in making a variety of decorative craft items and utensils.

(E) Only people who live in the regions of South America where aoli trees are found suffer from skin disorders treatable with aoli oil.

4.Gwen: As we both know, the most popular restaurants among college students here in Collegetown are the ones that provide delivery service. So, local economic conditions, which rely on the student population, would improve if expensive Collegetown restaurants were replaced by less expensive ones that also provide delivery service.
Jose:I disagree. After all, many expensive Collegetown restaurants also provide delivery service.

Which of the following best expresses the point of disagreement between Gwen and Jose?

(C) Whether inexpensive restaurants in Collegetown should provide delivery service

(D) Whether Collegetown students prefer deliv­ery meal service over sit-down meal service

(E) Whether inexpensive restaurants are popular among Collegetown students

Most hourly-wage employees prefer to work in state Y over state X.
