Though little change in the size of the population is expected, a pronounced shift toward a younger, more affluent, and more entertainmentoriented population is expected to occur. ? The sales of snacks and drinks in its movie theaters account for more of Lightbox’s profits than ticket sales do. ? In selecting the mix of movies shown at its theaters, Lightbox’s policy is to avoid those that appeal to only a small segment of the moviegoing population. ? Spending on video purchases, as well as spending on video rentals, is currently no longer increasing. ? There are no population centers in the county that are not already served by at least one of the movie theaters that Lightbox owns and operates. GWD5Q16: Maize contains the vitamin niacin, but not in a form the body can absorb. Pellagra is a disease that results from niacin deficiency. When maize was introduced into southern Europe from the Americas in the eighteenth century, it quickly became a dietary staple, and many Europeans who came to subsist primarily on maize developed pellagra. Pellagra was virtually unknown at that time in the Americas, however, even among people who subsisted primarily on maize. Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the contrasting incidence of pellagra described above? ? Once introduced into southern Europe, maize became popular with landowners because of its high yields relative to other cereal crops. ? Maize grown in the Americas contained more niacin than maize grown in Europe did. ? Traditional ways of preparing maize in the Americas convert maize’s niacin into a nutritionally useful form. ? In southern Europe many of the people who consumed maize also ate niacinrich foods. ? Before the discovery of pellagra’s link with niacin, it was widely believed that the disease was an infection that could be transmitted from person to person. ?

Village census records for the last half of the 1600’s are remarkably plete. This very pleteness makes one point stand out。 the second is an objection that has been raised against a position defended in the argument. ? The first is a claim that has been advanced in support of a position that the argument opposes。 the second acknowledges a consideration that has been used to argue against that position. ? The first provides a context for certain evidence that supports the position that the historian seeks to establish。GWD5Q1: So dogged were Frances Perkins’ investigations of the garment industry, and her lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt recruited Perkins to work within the government, rather than as a social worker. ? and her lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, ? and lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, so that ? her lobbying for wage and hour reform persistent, that ? lobbying for wage and hour reform was so persistent, ? so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that Q2: GWD414 Guidebook writer: I have visited hotels throughout the country and have noticed that in those built before 1930 the quality of the original carpentry work is generally superior to that in hotels built afterward. Clearly carpenters working on hotels before 1930 typically worked with more skill, care, and effort than carpenters who have worked on hotels built subsequently. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the guidebook writer’s argument? ? The quality of original carpentry in hotels is generally far superior to the quality of original carpentry in other structures, such as houses and stores. ? Hotels built since 1930 can generally acmodate more guests than those built before 1930. ? The materials available to carpenters working before 1930 were not significantly different in quality from the materials available to carpenters working after 1930. ? The better the quality of original carpentry in a building, the less likely that building is to fall into disuse and be demolished. ? The average length of apprenticeship for carpenters has declined significantly since 1930. GWD5Q3: The average hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland has long been significantly lower than that in neighboring Borodia. Since Borodia dropped all tariffs on Vernlandian televisions three years ago, the number of televisions sold annually in Borodia has not changed. However, recent statistics show a drop in the number of television assemblers in Borodia. Therefore, updated trade statistics will probably indicate that the number of televisions Borodia imports annually from Vernland has increased. Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends? ? The number of television assemblers in Vernland has increased by at least as much as the number of television assemblers in Borodia has decreased. ? Televisions assembled
