Suppose that a democratically elected government suppressed the opinions of those who
disagree with its policies only with the full support of the majority of its citizens. Even then, it
has no right to do so. Such action is as bad when done in accordance with public opinion as
in opposition to it. The particular evil of silencing disagreement is that it robs the human race;
future as well as present generations. If the opinion is right, people are deprived of the
opportunity to exchange truth for error. If the opinion is wrong, they lose the chance to see
the truth more clearly by contrast with error.
Which one of the following best expresses the main conclusion of the above argument?

A It is right for a democratically elected government to silence disagreement, but only if


the opinions are obviously false.

B It is right for a democratically elected government to suppress the opinions of those


who disagree with its policies because it is elected.

C A democratic government need not fear those who disagree with its policies, because it
has the support of the majority.

D It is not right for a democratic government to suppress disagreement even with majority
support.

E It is not right for a democratically elected government to suppress disagreement, unless


its action has the full support of the majority.

Chess is played on an 8 by 8 board of squares. A bishop standing on any square can be
moved any distance along a diagonal: for example, the bishop at B in the diagram can move
to any of the squares marked X, so nine possible moves are open to him.

How many moves are open to him if he stands on a square which gives him the fewest
possible moves?

A 6

B 7

During everyday conversations, most people make eye contact from time to time. Because
failure to make eye contact is seen as abnormal, we think that someone who does not do
this is rude. We may even think that they are bored, or have something to hide, or their
minds are elsewhere. But recent research on teaching children has shown that the children
absorbed more facts if they did not look at the person addressing them than if they did. This
is thought to be because looking at someone requires the processing of unnecessary
information. Other research has shown that some people who are lying gaze directly at
others in order to convince them that they are open and honest. Police interrogators often
take this as a sign of dishonesty.
Which one of the following can be drawn as a conclusion from the above passage?

A Failing to make eye contact with their teachers is a sign that children are rude.

B Someone who looks away when spoken to is trying to concentrate on what is said.

C Eye contact during conversation is not a reliable indicator of either honesty or


engagement with the speaker.

D Failure to make eye contact during conversation is a reliable sign of lack of interest.

E Gazing directly at others when speaking is reliable evidence of dishonesty.

I am hanging pictures with identical sized frames in a space between two walls. Each picture
is 18 cm wide by 24 cm high. The distance between the walls is 64 cm. I think they look best
if they are centred in the space and the distance between the pictures is 6 cm. The hooks
are to go behind the pictures, so I must mark their positions on the wall by careful measuring.

If the hooks are at the centres of the picture frames, how far should each hook be from the
nearest wall?

A 11 cm

B 12 cm

C 20 cm

D 22 cm

E 31 cm

Organ donation from the recently deceased should be mandatory rather than optional. This
is because harvesting organs can save lives by transplanting a variety of organs from one
donor to several different patients. It is immoral to expect to receive a donor organ unless
you are willing to donate one. Cremating or burying bodies with healthy organs in them
contradicts the medical care given to that body while it was alive.
Which one of the following illustrates the principle used in the above argument?

A By accepting a blood transfusion you have an obligation to give blood.

B Cremations and burials should be made illegal, to help maximise organ donation.

C Non-essential healthy organs should be taken from terminal patients while they are still
alive.

D Donors who leave money to medical research after their death should be spared
mandatory organ donation.

E Patients who die of disease should not have their organs harvested.

I only receive post from my uncle when it is my birthday or he is abroad. This letter is from
him; it's not my birthday so he must be abroad again.
Which one of the following most closely parallels the reasoning used in the above argument?

A Many people find it difficult to decide whether or not to take a gap year before going to
university. Taking a gap year can give you a chance to think more carefully about what
you want to study, therefore students who take gap years are often more prepared for
university.

B Politicians only talk about their children if they are publishing their memoires or before a
general election. The leaders of both parties have spoken about their children in
interviews and have not written books, so you can be sure that there will be an election
soon.

C At the current rate we will run out of landfill sites in the next two decades. Recycling
would reduce the amount sent to landfill sites, therefore we should support recycling
schemes.

D Most modern electrical goods have warranties, therefore you do not need to worry
about repair costs if your new washing machine breaks.

E In order to make plans for a holiday it is first important to decide whether you want to
go abroad or stay in the country. It is expensive to go abroad therefore you should
consider staying in the country.

In order to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels and promote renewable energy, many
governments are spending billions of euros subsidising biofuel crops. But using maize and
wheat to make biofuels significantly reduces the amount available to eat. Actually, it does not
help the environment much either; many types of bio fuels cause more greenhouse gas
emissions than fossil fuels. Heavy use of fertiliser to produce sufficient crops releases
damaging amounts of nitrous oxide, while demand for new land for biofuel plants causes
forests to be torn down, resulting in more carbon going into the atmosphere. Experts say if
global biofuel use increases as predicted, 600 million more people will be driven into hunger
by 2020.
Which one of the following can be drawn as a conclusion from the above passage?

A Farmers currently use fertilisers far more extensively than they should.

B Using crops for biofuels causes more problems than it solves.

C World governments are wasting their money by subsidising biofuels.

D We need to make more land available to grow foodstuffs.

E We should be preserving forests, not tearing them down.

The death rate in car accidents involving drivers in the first year after passing their test is far
higher than that of older drivers. Analysis of those caught on camera who are exceeding the
speed limit shows that new drivers generally drive faster than any other category of motorist.
The government should pass a law placing a limiter on cars belonging to new drivers so that
they cannot exceed 80 km/h for the first two years after their test. This would mean that there
would be a dramatic reduction in the number of deaths of young drivers.
Which one of the following is an underlying assumption of the argument above?

A The police target young road users when trying to catch speeding motorists.

B A large percentage of deaths of young drivers is caused by speeding.

C The reaction times of younger drivers are better than those of older drivers.

D Younger drivers tend to drive cars with more powerful engines.

E Older drivers have developed more driving skills than younger drivers.

Sometimes, smoking is actually better for the health than non-smoking. A study by the
University of Melbourne has shown that smoking can lead to a diminished appetite. So those
patients who quit smoking are at increased risk of gaining weight, which is particularly
dangerous for patients with heart disease. In addition, nicotine plays an important role as a
digestion stimulant. A study by the University of London has shown that 17% of patients have
constipation problems when trying to quit cigarettes. In addition, psychologists suggest that
some of their patients experience increased levels of stress while trying to quit smoking,
which can be dangerous for people with high blood pressure. Therefore, one may conclude
that in some situations smoking is better than non-smoking.
Which one of the following is the best statement of the flaw in the above argument?

A Some smokers may not gain weight after they quit smoking.

B Only a very small number of patients who quit smoking might face serious problems.

C Smoking may help diminish appetite, improve digestion and relieve stress.

D If people were more careful with their diet and stress they would have fewer problems
with quitting smoking.

E Continuing smoking may be riskier than quitting.

Toys are big business. Many of our homes are filled with complex and elaborate toys, but do
they really suit children's needs? Overly designed toys are often easily broken. Also, children
can be discouraged from using their imagination by playing with toys that perform various
functions like moving or talking. Many of these complicated toys can also be very
age-specific. This suits manufacturers but means children can outgrow toys very quickly.
Psychologists have also shown that simple toys provide children with more opportunities for
learning and development than more complicated toys.
Which one of the following can be drawn as a conclusion from the passage above?

A Traditional toys are less interactive than modern toys.

B Toy manufacturers are interested only in generating profits.

C Toys should never be age-specific.

D Parents should buy simple toys for their children.

E Modern toys are more suitable for today's children.

Many countries compel their citizens to carry identity (ID) cards and many other countries are
introducing them. One reason in favour of ID cards is that they can assist with law
enforcement. However, the opposite argument is more likely to be the case. A consequence
of providing a one-stop form of identity check is that it can encourage identity thefts. The
more an ID card needs to be used, the greater its value to criminals. This is a persuasive
reason for not introducing ID cards.
Which one of the following is an underlying assumption of the above argument?

A ID cards cannot be made secure and unfalsifiable.

B Most countries will introduce ID cards.

C ID cards cannot be falsified or counterfeited.

D ID cards will be used to gain entry to all public examinations.

E Criminals are in favour of the introduction of ID cards.
