Question 1

Mr. Primm: If hospitals were private enterprises, dependent on profits for their survival, there would be no

teaching hospitals, because of the intrinsically high cost of running such hospitals.

This, in turn, enables those hospitals to concentrate on no routine cases.

Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen Ms. Nakai’s attempt to refute Mr. Primm’s claim?

Options :

A : Doctors at teaching hospitals command high salaries

B : Sophisticated, no routine medical care commands a high price

C : Existing teaching hospitals derive some revenue from public subsidies.

D : The patient mortality rate at teaching hospitals is high.

E : The modern trend among physicians is to become highly specialized.

Answer: B

Question 2

When people predict that certain result will not take place unless a certain action is taken, they believe that they have learned that the prediction is correct when the action is taken and the result occurs. On reflection, however, it often becomes clear that the result admits of more than one interpretation. Which of the following, if true, best supports the claims above?

Options :

A : Judging the success of an action requires specifying the goal of the action

B : Judging which action to take after a prediction is made requires knowing about other actions that have been successful in similar past situations

C : Learning whether a certain predictive strategy is good requires knowing the result using that strategy through several trials.

D : Distinguishing a correct prediction and effective action from an incorrect prediction and ineffective action is often impossible.

E : Making a successful prediction requires knowing the facts about the context of that prediction.

Answer: D

Question 5

If the county continues to collect residential trash at current levels, landfills will soon be overflowing and parkland will need to be used in order to create more space. Charging each household a fee for each pound of trash it puts out for collection will induce residents to reduce the amount of trash they create; this charge will therefore protect the remaining county parkland. Which of the following is an assumption made in drawing the conclusion above?

Options :

A : Residents will reduce the amount of trash they put out for collection by reducing the number of products they buy

B : The collection fee will not significantly affect the purchasing power of most residents, even if their households do not reduce the amount of trash they put out.

C : The collection fee will not induce residents to dump their trash in the parklands illegally

D : The beauty of county parkland is an important issue for most of the county’s residents.

E : Landfills outside the county’s borders could be used as dumping sites for the county’s trash.
