My neighbor's dogs bark and howl every time their owner lets them outside. My CPA told me that dogs tend to bark and howl when they see birds resting in the top branches of their favorite trees. I personally believe they bark and howl because they enjoy disrupting my meditations.
Which of the following can be inferred from the preceding passage?
Over the past decade, the total market value of entertainment properties in Romanshorn has steadily declined. This slump led to a cascading effect in that the overall figure on which the city's entertainment tax is based, the assessed value of the city's entertainment properties, has also declined. Nevertheless, the percentage of assessed value that was paid as entertainment taxes to the city did not change from year to year during this period. Romanshorn will soon require entertainment property owners to pay a higher percentage of the assessed value of their earnings as entertainment tax.

Legal rules are expressed in general terms. They concern classifications of persons and actions and they prescribe legal consequences for persons and actions falling into the relevant categories. The application of a rule to a particular case, therefore, involves a decision on whether the facts of that case fall within the categories mentioned in the rule. This decision establishes the legal effect of what happened rather than any matter of fact.

The important parts of any university professor’s job include not only classroom teaching but also research, publication, and lectures to colleagues and the public.

Studies of the political orientations of 1,055 college students revealed that the plurality of students in an eastern, big-city, private university was liberal, whereas in a state-supported, southern college, the plurality was conservative. Orientations were independent of the student's region of origin, and the trends were much more pronounced in seniors than in beginning students.
Which of the following hypotheses is best supported by the observations stated above?
In a recent study, a group of subjects had their normal daily caloric intake increased by 25 percent. This increase was entirely in the form of alcohol. Another group of similar subjects had alcohol replace non-alcoholic sources of 25 percent of their normal daily caloric intake. All subjects gained body fat over the course of study, and the amount of body fat gained was the same for both groups.
Which one of following is most strongly supported by the information above?
According to psychoanalytic theory, people have unconscious beliefs that are kept from becoming conscious by a psychological mechanism termed “repression.” Researchers investigating the nature of this mechanism observed occasions on which a patient undergoing therapy became aware of and expressed a previously unconscious belief. They found that such occasions were marked by an unusual decrease in the patient’s level of anxiety.
If the information above is true, and if the researchers’ investigation was properly conducted, then which of the following must also be true?
A scientific theory is a good theory if it satisfies two requirements: It must accurately describe a large class of observations in terms of a model that is simple enough to contain only a few elements, and it must make definite predictions about the results of future observations. For example, Aristotle’s cosmological theory, which claimed that everything was made out of four elements—earth, air, fire, and water—satisfied the first requirement, but it did not make any definite prediction. Thus, Aristotle’s cosmological theory was not a good theory.
If all the statements in the passage are true, each of the following must also be true EXCEPT:
A study of 200 comedy fiction readers revealed the impact of Wodehouse’s’ novels on human emotions. Each of the 200 participants was asked to read at least one novel per day over the course of 12 days. At the end of the experiment, all of the readers filled out a survey assessing their emotional state. It was found from the survey that some 10 students who read the greatest number of novels reported lower stress levels and higher energy levels. Also, most of the 20 students who read the fewest number of novels revealed below-average levels of emotional comfort.
Which of the following must be true based on the evidence presented above?
