In the longer term, the automaker envisions that customers initially attracted by the discounts may bee loyal customers.

Whether some of the automaker’s models will be more deeply discounted than othersD. Whether the automaker will be able to cut costs sufficiently to maintain profit margins even when the discounts are in effectE. Whether an alternative strategy might enable the automaker to enhance its profitability while holding a constant or diminishing share of the marketGWD8Q13:With a record number of new panies starting up in Derderia, and with previously established panies adding many new jobs, a record number of new jobs were created last year in the Derderian economy. This year, previously established panies will not be adding as many new jobs overall as such panies added last year. Therefore, unless a record number of panies start up this year, Derderia will not break its record for new jobs created.Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument relies?A. In a given year, new panies starting up create more new jobs on average than do previously established panies.B. The number of people seeking employment is no larger this year than it was last year.C. This year, the new panies starting up will not provide substantially more jobs per pany than did new panies last year.D. Previously established panies in Derderia will be less profitable this year than such panies were last year.E. The number of jobs created in the Derderian economy last year was substantially larger than the number of jobs lost.GWD8Q14: GWD211Many people suffer an allergic reaction to certain sulfites, including those that are monly added to wine as preservatives. However, since there are several wine makers who add sulfites to none of the wines they produce, people who would like to drink wine but are allergic to sulfites can drink wines produced by these wine makers without risking an allergic reaction to sulfites. Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?A. These wine makers have been able to duplicate the preservative effect produced by adding sulfites by means that do not involve adding any potentially allergenic substances to their wine.B. Not all forms of sulfite are equally likely to produce the allergic reactions.C. Wine is the only beverage to which sulfites are monly added.D. Apart from sulfites, there are no substances monly present in wine that give rise to an allergic reaction.E. Sulfites are not naturally present in the wines produced by these wine makers in amounts large enough to produce an allergic reaction in someone who drinks these wines.GWD8Q15:Clouds are formed from the evaporation of the oceans’ water that is warmed by the Sun and rises high into the atmosphere, condensing in tiny droplets on minute particles of dust.A. Clouds are formed from the evaporation of the oceans’ water that is warmed by the Sun and rises high into the atmosphere, condensing in tiny droplets on minute particles of dust. B. Clouds form by the Sun’s warmth evaporating the water in the oceans, which rises high into the atmosphere, condensing in tiny droplets on minute particles of dust.C. Warmed by the Sun, ocean water evaporates, rises high into the atmosphere, and condenses in tiny droplets on minute particles of dust to form clouds.D. The water in the oceans evaporates, warmed by the Sun, rises high into the atmosphere, and condenses in tiny droplets on minute particles of dust, which forms clouds.E. Ocean water, warmed by the Sun, evaporates and rises high into the atmosphere, which then condenses in tiny droplets on minute particles of dust to form as clouds.GWD8Q16: GWD1315Concerns about public health led to the construction between 1876 and 1904 of three separate sewer systems to serve metropolitan Boston.A.
