Breakdown of Stimulus

- Skeleton of NA Mastodon that went extinct at the peak of Ice Age was disocvered

- The skeleton had human throwup that wasn’t similar to that part of Eurasia close to NA

- Because Eurasians didn’t settle NA till after the peak of Ice Age - the first Eurasian settlers are probably from a more distant part.

Weakens

A) Weakens the arg

B)Irrelevant

C) Another discovery = another phenomena to explain

D) Strengthens

E) Irrelevant

Breakdown of Stimulus

Social systems are based on a division of economic roles.

The social system places value and prestige on those in various economic roles.

Therefore it’s no surprise that labor saving technology which replace various economic roles, also undermines the values in a social system.

The stimulus is saying that social systems for ex USA are made up of workers for a variety of jobs stemming from a janitor to a doctor, etc.

The system values these roles, therefore laborsaving technology that gets rid of a lot of jobs would undermine the values of a social system.

A: Necessary condition

B: The passage says technology will undermine values

C: This states a social system who’s values remain the same would not be one with laborsaving technology that gets rids of economic roles.

D: This makes an assumption without merit

E: This makes an assumption without merit

Stimulus Breakdown

Other peoples arg

- Small goats found on island population in high amount are due to evolutionary pressure to diversify their gene pool.

In other words, there are a lot of small goats found on the island because of the pressure on them to diversify their genes.

Biologist arg

- The high amount of small goats found on the island are NOT due to evolutionary pressure to diversify their gene pool.

- There is only more small goats because they are reproducing more successfully then their larger goat cousins.

A) Biologist says they do not reproduce due to evolutionary pressure.

B) The larger population of small goats is due to their reproductive success

C) Biologist tells us that the smaller goats are achieving greater reproductive success then the larger goats

D) This is correct bc the author is saying evolutionary pressure to diversify their gene pool is not the reason why for more small goats. There are more small goats simply because they are reproducing more.

E) This information is not given to us in the stimulus.

Breakdown of Stimulus

Curator’s arg

- The decision to change the color of the cloak from red to green for Veronese painting is justified

- Tests showed the painting was applied after the paintings completion and red was not on the painting during the Veronese workshop.

- Likely another artist tampered with Veronese painting after it’s completion

Art Critic’s arg

- But copy of painting after death of Veronese had the cloak red

- Therefore unlikely copyist would make such drastic change right after death

A) Incorrect bc never mentioned in the passage

B) Incorrect bc never mentioned in the passage

C) The Art Critic believes that the cloak was and restoring to green would fail to do so bc that is different from the end of the artists lifetime.

D) We are never told anything about the value

E) Veronese never states this

If we don’t vote then democracy will crumble

One vote doesn’t make a huge difference but a large amount will

Not right if one person doesn’t vote if that same act done by large amount would be socially damaging

Org society impossible if theft were common although if one person steals is insignificant

A. Doesn’t state conclusion exactly but most similar

B.Passage doesn’t state this

The way science is conducted/regulated can be changed

But must determine whether changes are warranted considering price

Use of animal testing could end but then would have to sacrifice abandoning research & more expensive

Recombinant DNA reduced but many more restrictions imposed

Massive changes like these two examples would be costly & change character of science

A. passage says we can if its warranted

B passage doesn’t state this

C passage states can be change if warranted

D Just context

E Restates conclusion

Breakdown of Stimulus

Cannot deny homelessness is a problem but there are disagreements on how to solve it. Ignoring the problem won't make it go away.

(Only if = indicates necessary condition) Homeless problem disappear --> govt steps in to provide housing --> increased taxation

Conclusion - therefore, we should increase taxes to solve the homeless problem.

A) Only if a measure is required to solve a problem should it be adopted. (adopted --> required to solve a problem) Logic is incorrect, this reads as if something is adopted then it should required to solve the problem. The stimulus says if it's required to solve the problem then it should be adopted)

B) Only if a measure is sufficient to solve a problem should it be adopted. (adopted --> sufficient to solve a problem) *SUFFICIENT makes B incorrect.

C)If a measure is required to solve a problem then it should be adopted. ( required to solve a problem --> adopted)

D)If a measure is sufficient to solve a problem then it should be adopted. (sufficient to solve a problem --> adopted) *SUFFICIENT makes D incorrect.

E) If a measure is sufficient to solve a problem, any steps necessitated by that measure should be adopted (sufficient to solve a problem ---> adopted) *SUFFICIENT makes E incorrect.

Pseudo Q's - keyword "principle", falls under strengthening Q subset, watch out for incorrect logic in answer choices
