Biologist: Conservation biologists working to prevent species extinction have long acknowledged that popular species such as lions, eagles, and pandas receive disproportionately large amounts of funding and public attention as compared to less-popular species such as invertebrates and amphibians. Indeed, many of these less-popular species are more in danger of extinction than the more popular species. Although many conservation biologists have accepted this pattern of disproportionate funding, I believe it needs to stop. For, despite the substantial and continuing expenditure of resources on the more-popular species, very few of these species have any chance of escaping extinction.
The biologist's reasoning is subject to the criticism that the claim that ____A____, which is used to justify the main point, undermines the support for the point that ____B____.
Select for A and for B the options such that criticism of the zoologist's reasoning is strongest. Make only two selections, one in each column.
The following argument is logically flawed. The author's goal was to craft the argument so that the conclusion follows logically from Premises 1 and 2 and so that both premises are necessary to draw the conclusion.
Premise 1: Every respondent to our survey who reported feeling satisfied also reported being in a good mood.
Premise 2: Every respondent to our survey who reported having a central goal also reported being in a good mood.
Conclusion: Therefore, assuming all of the reports were accurate and complete, every respondent to our survey who felt satisfied also had a central goal.
Choose for Boldface A and for Boldface B two of the boldface phrases in the argument such that Boldface A occurs earlier in the argument than Boldface B, and exchanging the positions of those two phrases in the argument would make it so the argument fulfills the author's goal.

Throughout a certain decade in a European city, the mean monthly rents for studio apartments varied yearly, from a low of €804 to a high of €1,173. Those for one-bedroom apartments also varied yearly, from a low of €1,060 to a high of €1,497. But some individual studio apartments rented for as little as €420 in some years, and some one-bedroom apartments rented for up to €2,262. To visually assess how the ratio of mean monthly rents for studio apartments to those for one-bedroom apartments varied yearly over the decade, Maria requires a graph with the following characteristics. The graph will have two axes of equal length, with mean rents for one-bedroom apartments shown on the horizontal axis and mean rents for studio apartments shown on the vertical axis, and with the same scale on both axes. For each year, mean rents will be plotted as a point.
From the following options, select for Horizontal axis a range for the points on the horizontal axis and select for Vertical axis a range for the points on the vertical axis that together would satisfy Maria's requirements for the graph. Make only two selections, one in each column.

Based on a study of a 10,000 person sample of the adult population of Country Y, the unbroken curve on the graph plots an association between daily consumption of various amounts of Beverage Z and the relative risk of contracting Disease X compared to the risk with no consumption of Beverage Z (indicated by 1.00). For the entire adult population of Country Y, the relative-risk values could—because of sampling error—be either higher or lower than for the particular 10,000 person sample studied. Thus the two broken lines show the estimates of how high or how low those relative-risk values for that population could be.
Choose the options that create the statement that is most strongly supported by the information provided.
Compared to the risk with no consumption of Beverage Z, the reduction in relative risk of contracting Disease X for adults of Country Y is ____(A)_____ when the daily consumption of Beverage Z is in the range of ____(B)_____ 100 mg glasses.

Two students are discussing three themes from One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez.

The table gives information about the annual car show that a certain antique car club held in an open field on the second Saturday in May each of the years 2000 through 2013. Each car show started at 9:00 in the morning (09:00) and ended at 3:00 in the afternoon (15:00). The club charged a fixed fee for registering a car in the show—one fee per car. Cars could be preregistered prior to the day of the show or registered on-site on the day of the show. Although the fee for preregistering a car was less than the fee for registering a car on-site, some people chose not to preregister their cars because preregistration fees were not refundable and they knew they would not attend the show if rain was forecasted.
For the first n car shows, where n is a positive integer less than 10, the fees were $10 for preregistering a car and $12 for registering a car on-site. For the remaining car shows, the fees for preregistering a car and for registering a car on-site were more than $10 and $12, respectively.


For each statement, select Yes if it can be determined from the information provided that the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.

Assuming that the information above is true, select for Statement 1 and for Statement 2 the statements such that if Statement 1 is true, then Statement 2 must be true, but it could be the case that Statement 2 is true and Statement 1 is false. Make only two selections, one in each column.
