A poster in an eye clinic advises people, who have received eye drops X that blur vision, refrain from driving until they can do so safely. In a Gov't initiated hospital study, however, subjects questioned immediately after they received such drops and underestimated the time necessary to regain their driving ability. This result indicates that many people with eye drops X will be unlikely to follow the advice.

Q:Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument above?

• Many people, if they know they will receive eye drops X, make arrangements beforehand for a friend or relative to drive them home A
• The subjects in the hospital study generally rated their abilities more conservatively than they would if they were outside the framework of a scientific experiment B
• Some people ask their doctors not to give them eye drops X that blur vision if they will have to drive to get home afterward C
• The subjects in the study were also questioned about the time necessary to regain abilities that do not play an important role in driving safely D

Harper's Pencils manufactures and sells the same pencils as Johnson's Supply. Employee wages account for forty percent of the cost of manufacturing pencils at both factories. Harper's is seeking a competitive edge over Johnson's supply. Therefore, to promote this end, Harper's should lower employee wages.

Q:Which of the following, if true, seriously weakens the argument above?

• Because they make a small number of specialty artist's pencils, pencil manufacturers cannot receive volume discounts on raw materials A
• Lowering wages would reduce the quality of employee work and this reduced quality would leadto lowered sales B
• Harper's Pencils has taken away twenty percent of Johnson's Supply business over the last year C
• Johnson's Supply pays its employees, on average, ten percent more than does Harper's Pencils D

The tanneries claim that chemical waste dumps pose no threat to people living near them. If this is true, then why do they locate the plants in sparsely populated regions? By not locating the chemical dumps in densely populated areas the tanneries tacitly admits that these chemicals are potentially dangerous to the people living nearby.

Q:Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the author's argument?

• Funding through the environmental Super Fund to clean up poorly run waste dumps is reserved for rural areas only A
• Until chemical dumps are proven 100% safe, it would be imprudent to locate them were they could potentially do the most harm. B
• Locating the dumps in sparsely populated areas is less expensive and involves less government red tape C
• The potential for chemicals to leach into the water table has in the past been underestimated D
• People in cities are more likely to site the industry if their health is harmed by the drumps E
