Two different concepts, copyright infringement and plagiarism, are often confused for each other. Copyright infringement deals with the unauthorized use of copyright material and hence the violation of the rights of the copyright holder. Plagiarism, on the other hand, is concerned with false claims of authorship of ideas, works etc. that may not necessarily be protected under copyright. Moreover, even if a person gets the permission to use copyright material, it may still account for plagiarism if the person tries to falsely claim the authorship of the material.

IQ or intelligence quotient that deals with understanding information and EQ or emotional quotient that deals with understanding emotions are both key in assuring a person's happiness and ability to succeed. Although people with a high IQ are exceptionally brilliant at understanding information, when it comes to social interaction they usually have to work hard to understand others and to make themselves understood. Thus, a person with a high EQ is more likely to be happy and successful than a person with a high IQ. Which of the following must be true based on the information given above?
In a cooking competition, various family-owned restaurants cooked dishes made from recipes that have been in their families for generations. The cake that won the competition was made from a recipe that head-chef Pierre Limore claims has been in his family for three generations since the 1940s. Although the sous-chef who actually baked the winning dish used an ingredient that has only recently become popular in the baking industry, around the late 1920s the same ingredient had been commonly used by chefs before it was temporarily declared unfit for human consumption. Which of the following can be concluded on the basis of the information given above?
Organizations with growing data needs can create more space by either compressing their existing data (called Deduping) or adding additional storage tape disks. In most instances, the cost of deduping is 10% lower than the cost of installing additional tape drives for taking backups. It is true that one must take more frequent backups with deduping. This incurs some extra bandwidth charges. Even after bandwidth charges, it is still cheaper for an organization to Dedupe than to add tape drives to increase storage.The statements above, if true, best support which of the following assertions?
A party cannot be compelled to submit to general arbitration unless there is a contractual basis for concluding that the party agreed to do so.

Dr. Atkins revolutionized the dieting world when he introduced the Atkins diet, a low-carb, high-protein, high-fat diet, which promises lifelong weight loss and maintenance. However the American Heart Association (AHA) does not recommend this extremely low-carb diet. It argues that Atkins Diet restricts intake of healthy carbs that provide essential nutrients to the body. Epidemiological studies have indicated that people who eat high-carbs diets have normal incidences of certain chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and certain bone diseases, but such incidence of diseases is lower in people eating high-carbs diets than in people eating high-protein diets.

The residents of the city of Tibica are supplied water by two local corporations: TMC (Tibica Municipal Corporation) and TWMC (TibicaWater Management Corporation). Under pressure from the government, TMC recently increased its supply of water to the city. Even though TWMC maintained its supply level, the residents complained that their overall supply of water has reduced. Therefore, it seems likely that

Cognitive dissonance, a concept proposed by behavioral analyst Leon Festinger, refers to a psychological condition in which individuals experience anxiety or even neurosis because they hold contradictory beliefs. The reverse situation, known as consonance, results when dissonance reaches a peak that forces the individual to move toward consonance. Therefore, no individual can arrive at cognitive consonance unless he or she first experiences the highest possible level of cognitive dissonance.
If the above statements are true, which of the following must also be true?
Even though the terms taste aversion and taste avoidance are sometimes used interchangeably, there exists enough evidence to conclude that these two phenomena are likely not always related to each other. Research shows that taste aversion occurs when the consumption of a substance is followed by an unpleasant physical experience, normally nausea, but that no following repulsive or discomforting experience is necessary for the establishment of taste avoidance. Moreover, treatments that alleviate or prevent nausea do not impact the development or expression of taste avoidance, but they interfere with both the establishment and expression of taste aversion.
Which of the following statements can be concluded on the basis of the information given in the above passage?
A company cannot survive for long without at least one competitive advantage over the rest of the companies in the industry. With the latest technological developments, a company’s competitors can imitate its competitive advantage more easily than before. Besides, in this hyper-competitive world, building more than one competitive advantage is also not always possible.

The INES scale was created in 1990 as a way of indicating the relative seriousness of incidents in which radioactivity is released at nuclear plants. Before that, various countries relied upon their own classification systems, making it difficult to compare a nuclear mishap that occurred in the U.S. with one in, say, Europe or Japan.
Which of the following statements is best supported by the above passage?
The length of a bee’s tongue is proportional to the size of the bee, but it is also true that this proportion is inherited by each bee. Furthermore, the bee tongue is usually sized to match the depth of the flower it pollinates, making it possible for the bee to drink the nectar from it. Accordingly, there are both short-tongued and long-tongued bees that drink nectar only from flowers suited to their tongue size. Such bees are called specialists and since they depend on just a few flowers, they are quite vulnerable to changes in nature.

The playwright Bertolt Brecht staged his plays using a technique known as Verfremdungseffekt or the ‘alienation effect’ to prevent his audience from becoming too involved with the action taking place on the stage, thereby enabling viewers to reflect intellectually on the themes presented to them. While this technique was probably usable in a pre-World War II era, as then it was still possible to expect art to present objective perspectives on reality, it is clearly invalid in the twenty-first century.
Which of the following can most properly be concluded from the statements above?

The gun lobby’s attempt to stop doctors from warning about the severe risks posed by guns in homes is outrageous and unconstitutional. Children aged 5 to 14 years in the United States are 11 times more likely to be killed accidentally with a gun than similarly aged children in other developed countries are. Moreover, more than 40 percent of gun-owning households with children store their guns unlocked, and one quarter of these homes store them loaded.
