One mineral is harder than another if drawing an edge of the first mineral across a surface of the second mineral produces a scratch。 other wise, the first mineral is either equally hard or not as hard as the second. The following results have so far been obtained: N scratches O. R scratches S. O does not scratch T. 20. Which of the following could be the five minerals in order from the hardest to the softest if no two of them are equally hard? (A) N, R, T, S, O (B) N, T, S, O, R (C) R, N, O, S, T (D) R, O, S, T, N (E) T, N, S, R, O 21. If O scratches S, which of the following must be true? (A) N is harder than R. (B) N is harder than T. (C) R is harder than N. (D)R is harder than T. (E) T is harder than S. 22. If S scratches T, any of the following pairs of minerals could be the same hardness as each other EXCEPT (A) N and R (B) N and S (C) N and T (D) O and T (E) R and T 23. The average life expectancy of the population of Japan has risen steadily since 1960 and is now the highest national average in the world, even though heart disease among the Japanese has increased since they began to eat more of the fatty foods typical of the diets of people in Western countries. Which of the following, if true, best helps to explain the steady rise in life expectancy that is cited above? (A) The average Westerner is still five times more likely to develop heart disease than is the average Japanese person. (B) Since 1960 the decline in illnesses that kill more Japanese people than does heart disease has been greater than the increase in heart disease. (C) The life expectancy of the average Westerner has risen at a slower rate since 1960 than it did before 1960. (D) The Japanese diet has traditionally included many nonfatty foods that are thought to reduce the risk of developing heart disease. (E) The lifestyle of some Japanese people includes regular exercise, which is thought to help the heart resist the loss of strength that acpa nies aging. 24. For some women the cost of giving birth can be an unexpectedly large burden. The average normal birth now costs $3,200, and a birth with plica tions can cost thousands of dollars more. Of women in the primary childbearing age range of eighteen to twentyfour, who account for about 40 percent of all births in this country annually, more than 25 percent have no healthcare insurance to pay maternity costs. If the statements above are true, which of the following must also be true? (A) Each year, about 75 percent of all births in this country are to women who have healthcare coverage of maternity costs. (B) Each year, about 60 percent of all births in this country are to women who are younger than eighteen or older than twentyfour. (C) For an average birth, healthcare insurance pays about 75 percent of $3,200. (D) In this country, about 75 percent of the women who do not have healthcare coverage of maternity costs are younger than eighteen or older than twentyfour. (E) In this country, nearly 75 percent of the women in the primary childbearing age range give birth with no plications. 25. One theory of the Moon39。s origin is that the Earth, early in its development, was a rapidly rotating body of molten rock in which most of the iron had settled to the core。 some of this fluid was cast off from the surface of the spinning mass and later solidified to form the Moon. Which of the following conclusions can best be supported by the theory above of the Moon39。s origin, if that theory is correct? (A) The Moon is the only sizable heavenly body in orbit around the Earth. (B) The Moon has proportionally less iron at its core than the Earth does. (C) The surface of the Moon solidified after the surface of the Earth did. (D) Most of the fluid cast off from the Earth was dispersed into outer space. (E) The Moon, like the Earth, has a solid surface and a molten core. SECTION 5 1.
