Question 9
1 / -0.25

Directions for Questions 19 –21: The questions in this section are based on the reasoning contained in brief statements or passages. For some questions, more than one of the choices could conceivably answer the question. However, you are to choose the best answer.

Q.

Millions of female bats rear their pups in Bracken Cave. Although the mothers all leave the cave nightly, on their return each mother is almost always swiftly reunited with her own pup. Since the bats calls are their only means of finding one another, and a bat pup cannot distinguish the call of its mother from that of any other adult bat, it is clear that each mother bat can recognize the call of her pup.

The argument seeks to do which one of the following?

A
Derive a general conclusion about all members of a group from facts known about representative members of that group

B
Establish the validity of one explanation for a phenomenon by excluding alternative explanations

C
Support, by describing a suitable mechanism, the hypothesis that a certain phenomenon can occur.

D
Conclude that members of two groups are likely to share a certain ability because of other characteristics they share

Solution

Answer choice (A) Since the argument does not involve comparison between a sample and a population, it is unlikely that the argument generalizes from a small group, and this choice is wrong. Furthermore, this choice can be seen as somewhat contradictory, as pups seem different from the mothers.

Answer choice (B): This is the correct answer choice. The argument attempts to arrive at a final explanation by eliminating options.

Answer choice (C) Since the argument does not describe the mechanism by which mothers use calls to locate their pups, this choice is wrong.

Answer choice (D) Since the argument implies that the pups and mothers may be different in their ability to distinguish calls, it does not follow that argument makes conclusions based on similarities.
Question 10

Q.

Someone who gets sick from eating a meal will often develop a strong distaste for the one food in the meal that had the most distinctive flavor, whether or not that food caused the sickness. This phenomenon explains why children are especially likely to develop strong aversion to some foods.

Which one of the following, if true, provides the strongest support for the explanation?

A
Children are more likely than adults to be given meals composed of foods lacking especially distinctive flavours.

B
Children are less likely than adults to see a connection between their health and the foods they eat.

C
Children tend to have more acute taste and to become sick more often than adults do.

D
Children typically recover more slowly than adults do from sickness caused by food.

Solution

Answer Choice (A): This answer choice is incorrect because if actually weakens the argument. If children are more likely to get food without distinctive flavor, they are less likely to develop aversions.

Answer Choice (B): This answer choice is incorrect because it is entirely unrelated to the stimulus. If anything, this answer offers another reason for children to develop aversions: they don 't see the health benefits of some foods so they go by taste alone.

Answer Choice (C): This is the correct answer choice. It fills in the gap that the stimulus is missing. Children tend to have more acute taste and become sick, which connects the element in the premise, sickness, with the new element in the conclusion, children. If children are more likely to become sick, they are more likely to develop distaste, based on the premise.

Answer Choice (D): This answer choice is incorrect because it is dealing with recovering from sickness, which has nothing to do with actually getting sick or developing a distaste for food.
