Passage 2
[edit] Section IV Logical Reasoning
[edit] Question 01
IDENTIFY This is a Principle question.
READ A politician introduces a government tax policy. He is proposing a sin tax.
ANALYZE The passage is short enough to apply to each choice directly. (A) Incorrect. We know sugar is bad for your health but the tax regime proposed here is to raise revenue to pay for the health costs arising from consuming sugar. In fact, people and the government may benefit from increased consumption of sugar products if the negative impact of sugar is offset by the better health care paid by the tax.
(B) Incorrect. The study shows that the tax would not have an effect on the consumption of the pain reliever. The principle requires the tax discouraging the consumption of an undesirable product.
(C) Correct. The tax on the pesticide achieves what it is intended- to discourage the continued use.
(D) Incorrect. This is an opposite of the tax regime proposed by the politician. Tax is not raised to prevent decreased consumption.
(E) Incorrect. Enticing but here tax is actually lowered.
CHOOSE (C) conforms perfectly with the politician's principle.
[edit] Question 02
IDENTIFY This is a flaw question with a survey statistic with percentage.
READ The passage introduces a survey about the people's knowledge about health and DNA. Then it makes an unwarranted conclusion that links lack of knowledge about DNA with inability to make a good public policy decision about health care. ANALZE The logical link is weak. For example, do the senators have to have a PhD in medicine to make a good health care legislation? You don't have to have a former millitary general to be a commander in chief, right? (A) Incorrect. Yes, but what if those people who know nothing about DNA can make better personal medical choices? This choice fails to address that. (B) Incorrect. Sound good but does not address the flaw in the passage. (C) Incorrect. The statement says "at least 80 percent of the population does not make well-informationed personal medical choices or ..." Since the 80 percent includes both A or B, A does not have to ensure B is the case. (D) Correct. This one succinctly addresses the problem. (E)
Incorrect. Totally irrelevant.
[edit] Question 03
IDENTIFY This is a conclusion question.
