Mayor: Commuters working in Ornville must cross either North Bridge or South Bridge. During impending repair work at the North Bridge toll plaza, North Bridge will remain
open to traffic, but the usual 25 cent toll will not be collected. So as not to lose toll revenue overall, the city plans to temporarily raise the toll on South Bridge by 20 cents.
The plan is likely to accomplish its objective, since more commuters currently use South Bridge, and ________.
With globalization, companies often save on costs by paying lower wages abroad rather than by enhancing the abilities of their domestic workers, and this helps explain why productivity in many countries has been high over the last decade even as, despite year-to-year variation, domestic wages and job creation have barely grown.
It can be inferred from the passage that Sorenson and Audia's argument differs in part from the economic explanations mentioned in the highlighted text in that Sorenson and Audia claim that
Television picture quality improves as resolution increases. However, the resolution at which a given improvement in resolution becomes visible varies with the distance of
the viewer from the screen. As a viewer moves closer to the screen, a given improvement in resolution eventually becomes noticeable, finally conferring its “full benefit” at
a point at which moving closer would not improve the viewing experience.
On the graph, 480p, 720p, 1080p, and 1440p represent four common degrees of resolution: greater numbers indicate greater numbers of pixels on the screen and thus
greater resolution. Shaded portions show the distances at which these resolutions become noticeable, while the broken lines show the maximum distances at which a
viewer with normal eyesight would be expected to experience full benefit—all as a function of screen size. For each resolution and screen size shown, there is a small gap
between the maximum distance for full benefit from the resolution and the minimum distance for noticeable benefit from the next higher resolution.
(Note: 3 feet is roughly 1 meter, and 1 inch is roughly 2.5 centimeters.)
Assuming that the information contained in the graphic correctly applies to all viewers, select from the drop-down menus the options making the statements most
accurate.

The color red has been shown to induce greater aggression in people than the
color blue, Researchers conducted a study to determine whether such colorinduced aggression could influence the amount that consumers were willing to
pay for an identical product in online auction and online negotiation scenarios.
The researchers photographed a single item against each of four background
colors: blue, gray, white, and red. Using a computer, each participant in the study
viewed the item against exactly one of the four background colors. Half of the
participants were told the item was up for auction and were asked to submit their
highest bid for the item. The other half of the participants were told to negotiate
a price with the seller and were asked to offer the highest amount that they
would be willing to pay for the item.
The researchers expected that participants who viewed the red background
would typically behave more aggressively than those who viewed the blue
background. Among the auction group, the researchers hypothesized that more
aggressive participants would submit higher bids as they tried to beat other
potential bidders. Among the negotiation group, the researchers hypothesized
that more aggressive participants would make lower offers as they tried to
compete against the seller to get the best deal.
For each of the following statements about the researchers' study, select Yes if
that statement accurately reflects the information provided. Otherwise, select No.
The table provides data about 12 different Persian rugs currently available for sale by a rug dealer. For each rug, the data includes the number of knots per square inch (KPSI) in the yarn, which is consistent throughout the rug.
For each of the four types of rooms in a certain hotel in June of last year, the table shows the number of rooms of that type in the hotel and the total number of nights booked, such that each night on which any given room is booked counts as one night booked. For example, because there were 10 rooms of the Garden Family type and there were 30 nights in June, the greatest possible number of nights booked for rooms of the Garden Family type was 10 multiplied by 30, or 300 (of which a total of 164 nights were actually booked). A room was considered vacant on any night on which it was not booked.
For each of the following room types in June of last year, select Yes if the average (arithmetic mean) number of vacancies (instances of a particular room being vacant on a particular night) per night for rooms of that type was greater than 2. Otherwise, select No.
(1) The telephone company connected 12 calls for the customer to Country B last month.
(2) If the telephone company had no connection fee last month but had charged a per-minute rate that was 20 percent greater than the rate the customer was actually charged, then the total charge fa the customer's calls to Country B last month would have been $90.00.

A company is considering replacing its periodic offsite face-to-face meetings with ones that can be conducted online In a virtual environment. The company calculated Its costs for each face-Io-face meeting as well as the initial one-time costs necessary to set up online meeting capabilities. Once those capabilities are established, the company incurs negligible additional costs for each subsequent meeting. The graphic shows the one-time cost to the company for the virtual meetings as well as the total costs for the face-to-face meetings. For example, if the company conducted 5 face-to-face meetings, then the total costs to the company for the meetings would be approximately US$20,000.
Intuition guides people in making Judgments by using learned associations that automatically surface as feelings. As people gain experience in a field, they learn to associate the defining characteristics of phenomena with particular feelings and many of their Judgments can become automatic. For example, rather than going step-by-step through a decision tree, experienced car mechanics will often, after a quick look and listen, intuitively identify the problem.
Which of the following statements is most strongly implied by the Information above?
Because of the positive correlation across animal species between body size and home range size, researchers suspected that body size of female mallards (a species of duck) may influence their home range size. The researchers also reasoned that younger females may be forced into less suitable habitats by older females competing with them for optimal areas, with the younger females compensating by having larger home ranges. However, their research supported neither suspicion. The failure to detect variation of range size according to body size may be due to other, undetermined mallard attributes (for example, body condition) that may have been a significant factor affecting home range size. The fact that most yearling females can breed may help to explain why the expected age effect was not confirmed, since home range size may be affected by breeding capability.
The researchers did find, however, that home range size of females was Inversely related to the percentage of the study area composed of seasonal or semipermanent wetlands. This may have been because of reduced competition for breeding space within the species when more of the wetlands were present. They also found home range size to decrease somewhat as the percentage of wood-shrub habitat increased, suggesting that reduction in visual contact among mallard pairs may reduce interaction and thus reduce competition among breeding pairs.
The author's purpose in making the statement that most yearling female mallards are able to breed is most likely in order to

Until the Apollo astronauts brought samples of lunar material to Earth during 196£-72, scientists believed that the Moon's surface was largely undisturbed, given its dry, airless environment. Examination of the samples has shown otherwise. Micrometeorites, many smaller than a pencil point, constantly rain onto the Moon at up to 100,000 kilometers per hour, chipping materials or forming microscopic craters. Some melt the soil and vaporize and recondense as glassy coats on other specks of dust. Impacts weld debris into lumps of heterogeneous matter called "agglutinates." Complicated interactions with solar particle streams convert iron into myriads of microscopic iron grains. The regdith—pebbles, sand, and dust-from these erosion processes blankets the Moon. Much of the top layer consists of a complex abrasive dust of microscopic glass shards that can grind machinery and sealing devices and damage human lungs.
The Apollo specimens held by the United States are doled out in ultra-small samples to scientists who demonstrate that nothing else will suffice for high-value experiments. Renewed interest In lunar exploration in the late 1980s meant that materials designed to simulate lunar regolith—simulants—were needed for research to develop schemes for lunar building and procedures for extracting elements such as oxygen found abundantly in regolith. That led to the development of JSC-1 in 1993, made of volcanic cinder cone from a quarry in Arizona in the U.S. The more than 22 metric tons made was in high demand. Efforts are now afoot to manufacture 16 metric tons of JSC-1 A, with 1 ton of fine grains, 14 tons of moderately fine, and 1 ton of coarse.
The information in the passage most strongly supports which of the following claims about the samples of lunar material brought back from the Moon by the Apollo astronauts?
Scientists for whose experiments JSC-1A would suffice are not regarded as entitled to obtain material from the samples.

Psychologist: People tend instinctively to impose patterns on events even when such patterns are not really present. If early humans believed that a rustle in the grass indicated a dangerous predator when it was just the wind, they were more likely to survive than if they believed that it was just the wind when a dangerous predator was there. Thus, in a world of split-second interactions between predators and prey, a person who made an error of the first type was more likely to survive than a person who made an error of the second type. So the tendency to make the first type of error is probably due to__________.
Which of the following would, if true, most logically complete the psychologist's argument?
Which of the following, if true, would most undermine the reasoning offered for the claim that gray markets can in certain conditions lead to increased profits among authorized retailers?
