Each of the three narrow pipes works at 1/2 the rate of each of the wide pipes. Three pipes are narrow and two are wide.10 – A tank has 5 inlet pipes.

Dave: Did you know that by taking one inter-continental flight you cause more pollution than you would in twelve months of car travel? . Sue: Commercial flights currently contribute more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere in one year than does the whole of Africa. If we want to reduce global warming we need to restrict the number of flights we take.13 – 14 – 15. The first is a position that the author does not accept. The probability of getting a particular color is always the same no matter what has gone before. the second is the author’s main conclusion. The second is that theory. If there were a reliable way to win at roulette it would be well-known by now. The first is a challenge to a classic theory. Therefore you can win money by waiting for a run of five of the same color and then betting against that color. A person who makes money this way once or twice. D. It is not unusual to see the ball fall into a black slot on a roulette wheel four times in a row. the second resolves that challenge. C. C. Helium-3 is produced when low-mass stars burn up hydrogen and become ‘red giants’. E. the second is the author’s position. According to the original model.Dave’s response to Sue’s comment serves to A. reinforce Sue’s contention that flights are a major contributor to increased carbon dioxide levels B. B. . The probability of getting a particular color decreases with the number of times the color has appeared. The second is context for accepting that theory. mitigate the force of her argument by suggesting that there is an alternative approach D. The first points to an inconsistency in a particular model. It is hard for a player to keep track of what went before for the time required. But for it to fall five or six times in a row into the same color is very unusual. which of the following observations or facts. Hence the Big Bang theory is no longer undermined by Helium-3 data. question whether she really understands the severity of global warming 16. Researchers have now produced a new model in which the Helium-3 produced by a red giant is pushed to the star’s interior and burnt up. add more weight to her contention that we should reduce the number of flights we take C. The first is a fact that undermines a theory. The two portions in bold-face are related to each other in which of the following ways? A. D. suggest an alternative that will reduce the effect of pollution E. if it were true. would best reveal a fallacy in the logic? A. On the basis of the Big Bang theory scientists predicted levels of Helium-3 in the universe that are ten times greater than the levels actually observed. The first highlights an observation that tends to undermine a particular theory. B. 17. will carry on to lose that money after a few more times. as well as being produced in the Big Bang itself. If the roulette wheel in question is a fair wheel. E. the work pressures and long hours make jobs with the company unattractive to married women E.
