Directions: Consider each of the following statements. Does the information in the three emails support the inference as stated?

9:14am – We’re considering changing the prices of our lattes to compete with some of the local mom-and-pop stores. The nearby competition charges $2.50 for their large-size lattes. That is much cheaper than I had thought, and explains why we’ve been losing customers since our current large latte price is $4.00 without any additional syrups. I believe that if we change our price to $3.00, we’ll be able to lure back our old customers and prevent any more of our current regulars from leaving.

2:06pm –  I agree that a price-change may be our best bet to keep our current customers happy. However, $3.00 is a big decrease, and I’d suggest we drop the price to $3.75. If we go below $3.50 we will not be able to remain profitable.

3:46pm – $3.75 still puts our coffee more than $1 over our competitor’s price. However, we offer syrups which the competition does not. If we charge $3.50 and include one free syrup, we’ll be able to lure customer’s back and stay within profitability.

Set 2

Directions: Consider each of the following statements. Does the information in the three articles support the inference as stated?

Typically, fewer people vote in local elections that in national ones, but participation can vary widely by state. A new poll has found that more people in California vote in local elections than do people in Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico combined. This has been attributed to the high number of independent voters in our state, as well as the high enthusiasm for local elections. City councilman Brad Zellman was pleased to see such a high turnout at the recent city council election. “It’s a unique opportunity for local citizens’ votes to carry more weight than they would in big national elections, and it’s great to have so much participation in these smaller campaigns state-wide.”

The recent city council election has seen many a politico claim that the increased voter turnout is due to local citizens wanting to be a part of an election where their vote is proportionally more important. However, it is incorrect to suggest that voting in local elections somehow means your vote “counts more.” True, local politicians make decisions that affect day-to-day operations of our cities, but national politicians make decisions that ultimately affect the outcomes of our lives. When you vote for national figures in larger elections, your vote matters more because you are voting for people who will ultimately have a bigger impact on your life long-term.
