GWD30Q26:In countries where automobile insurance includes pensation for whiplash injuries sustained in automobile accidents, reports of having suffered such injuries are twice as frequent as they are in countries where whiplash is not covered. Some mentators have argued, correctly, that since there is presently no objective test for whiplash, spurious reports of whiplash injuries cannot be readily identified. These mentators are, however, wrong to draw the further conclusion that in the countries with the higher rates of reported whiplash injuries, half of the reported cases are spurious: clearly, in countries where automobile insurance does not include pensation for whiplash, people often have little incentive to report whiplash injuries that they actually have suffered.In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?A. The first is a finding whose accuracy is evaluated in the argument。 the second is an intermediate conclusion drawn to support the judgment reached by the argument on the accuracy of that finding.B. The first is a finding whose accuracy is evaluated in the argument。 the second is evidence that has been used to challenge the accuracy of that finding.C. The first is a finding whose implications are at issue in the argument。 the second is an intermediate conclusion that has been used to support a conclusion that the argument criticizes.D. The first is a claim that the argument disputes。 the second is a narrower claim that the argument accepts.E. The first is a claim that has been used to support a conclusion that the argument accepts。 the second is that conclusion. 27. GWD30Q27:Personnel officer: The exorbitant cost of our healthinsurance benefits reflects the high dollar amount of medical expenses incurred by our employees. Employees who are out of shape, as a group, have higher doctor bills and longer hospital stays than do their colleagues who are fit. Therefore, since we must reduce our healthinsurance costs, we should offer a rigorous fitness program of jogging and weight lifting to all employees, and require employees who are out of shape to participate.The conclusion reached by the personnel officer depends on which of the following assumptions?A. A person who is fit would receive a routine physical checkup by a doctor less regularly than would a person who is out of shape.B. The medical expenses incurred by employees who are required to participate in the fitness program would be less than those incurred by employees who are not required to participate.C. The strenuous activities required of outofshape employees by the program would not by themselves generate medical expenses greater than any reduction achieved by the program.D. The fitness program would serve more employees who are out of shape than it would employees who are fit.E. The employees who participate in the fitness program would be away from work because of illness less than would the employees who do not participate. 28. GWD30Q28:In countries where automobile insurance includes pensation for whiplash injuries sustained in automobile accidents, reports of having suffered such injuries are twice as frequent as they are in countries where whiplash is not covered. Presently, no objective test for whiplash exists, so it is true that spurious reports of whiplash injuries cannot be readily identified. Nevertheless, these facts do not warrant a conclusion that has been drawn by some mentators: that in the countries with the higher rates of reported whiplash injuries, half of the reported cases are spurious. Clearly, in countries where automobile insurance does not include pensation f
