39 The correct answer is (C) Although the author does respond to what might be one

undesired result of voucher privatization—falling stock prices, as well as explain the

cause of falling stock prices—the author does not offer an “alternative” explanation for

this phenomenon, as suggested by choice (C) Moreover, the author’s purpose in

discussing falling stock prices is not to explain their cause, but rather to acknowledge

that what appears to be an undesirable consequence of voucher privatization may

actually help bring about a desirable result

40 The correct answer is (A) The passage indicates that developers have curtailed

construction of new office buildings until demand grows to meet supply, while stepping

up construction of single-family houses This evidence in itself strongly supports choice

(A) Admittedly, it is possible that an influx of businesses from other states will deplete

the current oversupply of office buildings and create sufficient demand for new ones

Nevertheless, choice (A) is the best of the five choices

41 The correct answer is (B) The original sentence lacks proper parallelism; to should

be omitted Also, the original sentence is comprised of two main clauses (each of which

could stand on its own as a complete sentence) separated only by a comma This comma

splice should be corrected by inserting an appropriate connecting word, such as but, yet,

or although Choice (B) corrects both problems.

Analysis of an Argument

Directions: Using a word processor, compose an essay for the following argument and

directive Do not use any spell-checking or grammar-checking functions

The following appeared in a speech by a prominent state politician:

“At Giant Industries, our state’s largest private business, the average production worker is now 42 years old Recently, Giant’s revenue from the sale of textiles and paper, which together account for the majority of Giant’s manufacturing business, has declined significantly Since an increasing percentage of new graduates from our state’s colleges and universities are finding jobs in other states, our state will soon face a crisis in which the size of our workforce will be insufficient to replace our current workers as they retire, in turn resulting in widespread business failure and a reduced quality of life in our state.”

Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument In your discussion be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative explanations or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion
