PrepTest 142 - Section 4 - Question 3

Hide analysis

The master plan for the new park calls for the planting of trees of any species native to this area, except for those native trees that grow to be very large, such as the cottonwood. ███ █████ ████ ███ █████████ █████ ███████ ████ █████████ ██ █████ ██████ ████████ █████ █████ ██████ ██████ █████ ███ ███████ █████ ███ ███████ █████ ███ ████████ ██████████ ████ ███ ██████ █████

Summarize Argument

The author concludes that the donated trees are probably consistent with the master plan that calls for the planting of trees that are native to the area, except for those that grow very large. This is because the donated trees came from Three Rivers Nursery, which sells mostly native trees and shrubs.

Notable Assumptions

The author assumes that the donated trees do not grow to be very large.

Which one of the following, ██ █████ ████ ███████████ ███ █████████

a

Some tree species ████ ████ ██ ██ ████ █████ ███ ██████████ ████ ███ ██████ █████

This doesn’t help show that the donated trees don’t grow to be very large. It also doesn’t suggest that the donated trees are among the species that could be very large but also consistent with the plan.

b

Three Rivers Nursery █████ ██████████ ██████

The stimulus says cottonwood trees are very large. So, this doesn’t help show the donated trees do not grow to be very large.

c

Many of the ██████ ███████ ████ █████ ██████ ███████ █████ ███ ███████ ███ ██████

We’re talking about donated trees. So whether the nursery sells native shrubs has no impact.

d

Tree species that ███ ███ ██████ ██ ████ ████ ███ ████ ███ ██████████ ████ ███ ██████ ████ ███ ████ ███ ████ ██ █████

We’re talking about donated trees. Whether other kinds of trees are hard to find has no impact on whether the trees that were already donated are consistent with the plan.

e

Three Rivers Nursery ████ ███ ████ ███ ████ ███████ ████ ████ ██ ██ ████ ██████

This helps show that the donated trees, which came from the Three Rivers Nursery, do not grow to be very large. So, the trees won’t violate the plan due to being very large.
