Question 1 In the aftermath of a worldwide stock-market crash, Country T claimed that the severity of the stock-market crash it experienced resulted from the accelerated process of denationalisation of many of its industries which occured shortly before the crash. 1 Which of the following, if it could be carried out, would be most useful for the evaluation of Country T ‟s assessment of the causes of the severity of its stock-market crash? A B C D Calculating the average loss experienced by individual traders in Country T during the crash. Using economic theory for predicting the next possible date of crash in Country T. Co mparing the total number of shares sold during the worst days of the crash in Country T to the total number of shares sold in Country T just prior to the crash. Co mparing the severity of the crash in Country T with those countries that are economically similar to Country T and have not experienced recent denationalisation. Question 2 Kale has more nutritional value than spinach. But since collard greens have more nutritional value than lettuce, it follows that kale has more nutrit ional value than lettuce. 2 Any of the following, if introduced into the argument as an additional premise, makes the above argument logically correct EXCEPT A B C D collard greens have mo re nutritional value than kale. spinach has more nutrit ional value than lettuce. spinach has more nutrit ional value than collard greens. spinach and collard greens have the same nutrit ional value. Question 3 Although custom prosthetic bone replacements produced through a new computer-aided design process will cost more than twice as much as ordinary replacements, custom replacements should still be cost -effective. Not only will surgery and recovery time be reduced, but cus tom replacements should last longer, thereby, reducing the need for further hospital stays. 3 Which of the follo wing must be studied in order to evaluate the argument presented above? A B C D The amount of time a patient spends in surgery versus the amount of time spent recovering fro m surgery. The amount by which the cost of producing custom replacements has declined with the introduction of the new technique for producing them. The degree to which the use of custom replacements is likely to reduce the need for repeat surgery when compared with the use of ordinary rep lacements. The degree to which custom replacements are produced with the help of new technique is more carefully manufactured than the ordinary replacements. © All rights reserved by prepgenie.com.au.
