6. In the normal progression of life, people die approximately in order of birth. Therefore, when a younger person predeceases an older person, that death may be especially painful to the survivor, who feels that a law of nature has been violated.
The argument above best supports which of the following conclusions?
(A) When children die before their parents, the loss is perhaps more intensely felt than when the parents are the first to die.
(B) It is perfectly normal for children whose parents predecease them to feel little grief.
(C) Laws of nature are merely general descriptions, and as such they offer little consolation to those whose loved ones predecease them.
(D) When the older of two parents dies first, the grief of the surviving parent and of the children is likely to be especially intense.
(E) Parents should not feel guilty of neglect when their children the before them.
7. Researchers have recently argued that ancient Greek coins, seals, and gems with elaborate miniature engravings were produced by artisans whose nearsightedness enabled them to do such intricate work. They also suggest that since nearsightedness is hereditary, guilds and families specializing in this work may have favored the recurrence of nearsightedness.
Which of the following, if true, would weaken the researchers' argument?
(A) Roman artisans were influenced by their Greek predecessors and often translated designs of Greek miniature engravings into Roman designs.
(B) Nearsighted individuals are less able than those with ordinary vision to identify objects that are at a great distance from them.
(C)Magnifying glass was not used as a visual aid until the thirteenth century, when Roger Bacon inverted eyeglasses.
(D) Artisans today are unable to reproduce the miniature engravings of ancient Greek artisans without the aid of high-powered magnifying lenses, first produced in the thirteenth century.
(E) The eyesight of nearsighted individuals and those with ordinary vision is not significantly different if the objects viewed are less than a few feet away.
8. Peasants were often faced with a vicious cycle. The manure from their animals was essential for fertilizing their crops, but they often did not have enough crops to feed themselves and their animals, and hence had to slaughter the animals for food.
The cycle is called vicious because
(A) without the animals the peasants would lack the manure for growing their crops
(B) the peasants would become dependent on those who slaughtered the animals
(C) the peasants would want meat in their diet and would be forced to purchase it
(D) successful farming demanded that a farmer rotate crops from one field to another
(E) the animals are faced with starvation
Questions 9-14
Exactly five lights-a green one, a yellow one, a red one, a white one, and a blue one-are arrayed in a straight line on a control panel evenly spaced, going from left to right in the order given above. On the control panel, there can be two types of patterns of lights that are on, called X-sequences and Y-sequences.
An X-sequence of lights is a sequence of either three or four lights that are on and evenly spaced with respect to one another.
A Y-sequence of lights is any sequence of lights that are on that is not an X-sequence.
9. Which of the following could be the lights on in a Y-sequence of lights?
(A) Green, yellow, red
(B) Yellow, red, white
(C) Yellow, white, blue
(D) Red, white, blue
(E) Yellow, red, white, blue
10. Which of the following X-sequences of lights must remain an X-sequence if an additional light is turned on?
(A) Green. yellow, red
(B) Green, red, blue
(C) Yellow, red, white
(D) Red, white, blue
(E) Yellow, red, white, blue
11. Which of the following lights must be on in any X-sequence of lights?
(A) Green
(B) Yellow
(C) Red
(D) White
(E) Blue
12. Which of the following X-sequences of lights must turn into a Y-sequence if any one of the five lights is changed, whether the change is from on to off, or from off to on?
(A) Green, yellow, red
(B) Green, red, blue
(C) Yellow, red, white
(D) Green, yellow, red, white
(E) Yellow, red, white, blue
13. Which of the following operations, if performed on an X-sequence of lights, must result in a Y-sequence?
(A) Turning on one more of the lights
(B) Turning on two more of the lights
(C) Turning off one of the lights that are on
(D) Changing the green light to on if it is off, or to off if it is on
(E) Changing the blue light to on if it is off, or to off if it is on
14. Which of the following operations can be performed only on a Y-sequence of lights?
(A) Turning on two more of the lights
(B) Turing on three more of the lights
(C) Turning off two of the lights that are on
(D) Turning off three of the lights that are on
(E) Turning off four of the lights that are on |
