A small furniture store uses a software program called Blaze to do its basic bookkeeping. There is good reason to believe that the accounting it provides is inaccurate. Several times when the accounts were carefully calculated by a bookkeeper using an adding machine, the resulting total differed from the total the computer gave.

Q:The furniture store manager's reasoning relies on which of the following assumptions?

Choose an answer

The criteria that the computer uses in determining what items are included in the accounting of a particular month differ from the criteria the bookkeeper uses

The inaccuracy of the computer's accounting does not result from a malfunction of the computer itself

Most citizens are very conscientious about observing a law when they can see the reason behind it. For instance, there has been very little need to actively enforce the recently-Implemented law that increased the penalty for motorists caught leaving a gas station without paying for gas they had pumped into their vehicles. This is because citizens are very concerned about the high cost of gasoline and they know that stealing gas will only further increase the price of gasoline for everyone.

Q:With which of the following statements would the author of this passage be most likely to agree?

Choose an answer

The increased penalty alone is a significant motivation for most citizens to obey the law.

High gasoline prices can be brought down if everyone does his or her part and pays for the gasoline they use at the pumps
