Columnist: The chief of police has claimed in a recent press conference that the decline in the number of pickpockets caught on the street indicates that his department that has partly eliminated this petty crime.

This assumption, however, is clearly false: A recent telephone survey revealed that a large majority of people who reported an increase in driving over the past year also reported no change in the number of flights they took during that same time period.

Which of the following would it be most useful to determine in order to evaluate the argument?
Magoosh Professor Knight has noticed that students who guess on her multiple-choice tests are significantly more likely to choose answer choice C instead of A, B, D, or E. Basing her judgment on the fact that a variety of students from different social groups and backgrounds all do this, she has concluded that this tendency was acquired from her colleague Professor Leigh's habit of predominantly using C as a correct answer choice, rather than students' natural tendency to choose the middle letter. Professors Knight and Leigh are the only professors who give multiple choice tests in the required classes of the first and second year.Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the conclusion drawn by Professor Knight?

In developing a policy platform, major political parties spend significant amounts of time and money supporting those researchers at think tanks who draft the legal details of new policy initiatives. Such researchers are dedicated advocates for the particularities of any policy they draft, so they tend to overlook any method of analysis that may undermine it. Strangely, however, most major political parties neglect to interview voters when developing policy positions, even though it is the voters—not the researchers—who ultimately decide whether a policy is a political success or not.

Which of the following, if true, best accounts for the typical policy development practices among major political parties?
Manufacturers of staplers make the majority of their profit on staples rather than on the staplers themselves. The Office Supply Company, which cannot sell its staples as cheaply as other manufacturers can, plans to alter the design of its stapler so that it will only accept a newly designed Office Supply Company staple, which will be sold at the same price as the Office Supply Company's current staple.Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the Office Supply Company's projection that its plan will lead to an increase in its sales of staples?
PREP07 Test 1 Paint on a new airliner is usually applied in two stages: first, a coat of primer, and then a top coat. A new process requires no primer, but instead uses two layers of the same newly developed coating, with each layer of the new coating having the same thickness and weight as a traditional top coat. Using the new process instead of the old process increases the price of a new aircraft considerably.Which of the following, if true, most strongly indicates that it is in an airline's long-term economic interest to purchase new airliners painted using the new process rather than the old process?
OG19 OG20 OG2022 A company has developed a new sensing device that, according to the company's claims, detects weak, ultralow-frequency electromagnetic signals associated with a beating heart. These signals, which pass through almost any physical obstruction, are purportedly detected by the device even at significant distances. Therefore, if the company's claims are true, their device will radically improve emergency teams ability to locate quickly people who are trapped within the wreckage of collapsed buildings. Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
OG21 OG2022 Airline Representative: The percentage of flight delays caused by airline error decreased significantly this year. This indicates that airlines listened to complaints about preventable errors and addressed the problems. Although delays caused by weather and other uncontrollable factors will always be part of travel, preventable delays are clearly decreasing. Which of the following most clearly points to a logical flaw in the representative 's reasoning?
OG20 OG2022 Historian: Fifteenth-century advances in mapmaking contributed to the rise of modern nation-states. In medieval Europe (from the fifth to the fifteenth century), sovereignty centered in cities and towns and radiated outward, with boundaries often ambiguously defined. The conceptual shift toward the modern state began in the late fifteenth century, when mapmakers learned to reflect geography accurately by basing maps on latitude-longitude grids. By the midseventeenth century, nearly all maps showed boundary lines. Which of the following would, if true, most strengthen the historian's reasoning?

Managers will simply set clear standards and guidelines and then allow employee teams to undertake tasks without centralized control.Which of the following, if true, would most strongly support a prediction that the Acme Corporation's plan will achieve its goal?
GWD In order to raise revenue, the federal government planned a tax amnesty program that allows tax delinquents to pay all owed tax without added financial penalty. However, economists projected that the federal government would collect a far lower percentage of total tax owed by delinquents than did state governments implementing similar programs.Which of the following, if true, would most contribute to an explanation of the economists' projections?
Magoosh Linguist: Each language has a word that captures a concept or emotional state in a way that no other language does. To capture such a breadth of expression, an artificial language should be created that contains words corresponding to all the different concepts and emotional states captured by the world's languages. That is not to say that such a language would contain as many words as there are in all the world's languages. Rather, only for those words that have no corresponding word in another language. While such a plan is hugely ambitious, the resulting language would be more thorough than any existing language. The conclusion drawn above depends on which of the following assumptions?
People who are chronically ill would benefit most from low-cost health insurance. However, if insurance companies insure these people, the companies will no longer be able to fund low-cost health insurance for all of their customers. Therefore, insurance companies, in deciding whom to insure, must choose between the good of the chronically ill and the financial well-being of their other customers.Which of the following questions is LEAST relevant in evaluating the conclusion of the argument above?
