<p>Solutional caves are formed in the earth when a soft rock, usually limestone, is eroded by rainwater that has mixed with soils and carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid. Troglotopia Cave and the surrounding earth contain low amounts of soft rock, so it is not a solutional cave.p>

<p>The company Straffkey guarantees in its contracts with clients that for every ten computer programmers employed by Straffkey on a client project, Straffkey will employ at least one certified project manager. Since many of Straffkey's contracts are with the nation's government, its business increases during economic recessions, when the government spends more, and it has to hire more computer programmers at these times to complete its contracts. Therefore, while many jobs are threatened by economic recessions, the prospects of being hired as a project manager at Straffkey will not be lessened by the state of the economy as a whole.p>

<p>Scientists have genetically modified three pigs so that they are thoroughly florescent both in daylight and in darkness. Pigs have been modified in this fashion before, but the scientists who have created the most recent set observe that their technique has improved the odds of successfully modifying a specific embryo and making the adult pig completely florescent. The presence of the green protein will allow genetically modified cells to be tracked if they were transplanted into a human. This will immediately speed scientists' understanding of genetic research for the purpose of improving human health.p>

<p>Adjusting the supply of money and increasing government spending are the two methods available to the country of Pontivius to stimulate its economy.

Therefore, by increasing spending, the government of Pontivius will do the most that it can do to stimulate its economy.p>

<p>Management: Our position relative to our main competitor, which is located in the country of Patrio, has improved this year. The Patrian government has placed steep tariffs on imported steel, forcing our competitor to buy steel from sources inside the country at a much higher price. We can conclude that their costs have increased greatly this year, to levels much higher than ours, and they will be forced to deplete their cash reserves, leaving them with less cash in reserve than we will have to spend on marketing next year.p>
<p>Which of the following conclusions is best supported by these comments about the management about its company and its competitor in Patrio?p>

<p>Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a disease in cattle that can spread to humans through the consumption of beef. A government ministry plans to reassure consumers of beef that sufficient controls are in place at farms to render nonexistent the risk of contracting BSE from beef. Prohibitions against cattle eating other cattle brain tissue and regulations on the treatment of cattle waste have been put in place and dramatically reduced BSE cases. But diagnosis of BSE is difficult: it has an incubation period of months to years, during which there are no symptoms. At present, there is virtually no way to detect BSE reliably except by examining post-mortem brain tissue. And beef is known to be produced and sold from cattle that have not undergone testing.p>
<p>Which of the following, if performed by the government ministry, could logically be expected to overcome the problem with their plan to reassure consumers of beef?p>

<p>City College’s board wants to minimize the college’s expenditures on physical facilities over time and so has asked the physical facilities department to consider choosing double-pane windows when replacing old windows. Compared to single-pane windows, double-pane windows provide much more insulation to a building, thus reducing energy costs. Moreover, the labor and other costs associated with installing double-pane windows are the same as those for single-pane windows.p>
<p>Which of the following would it be most useful to know in determining whether switching to double-paned windows would be likely to help minimize City College’s physical facilities expenditures?p>

<p>A major retail clothing chain hopes to improve its earnings with heavy promotion of their logo-branded merchandise during the holiday season.

Over the long term, the chain anticipates that the new buyers drawn by the promotion will become repeat customers.p>
