In my opinion, A, C and E should be ruled out. A is out of scope as it talks of art becoming industralized. C talks of paintings specifically and E talks about hardwork which is again out of scope.
Out of B and D, I feel D is more appropriate. The author is indirctly referring to production and the product which can relate well with art industry but B talks directly of art...
What's the OA? If available, please provide the explanation too.
Okay I am changing my answer..till today I dint even know that industry also meant diligence (industrious should have clicked, but....) Once we understand the meaning of industry here..everything is crystal clear... My new answer E.
The author says that diligence in art is a necessity and not a quality of art. If any art shows that a lot of diligence has gone into it (evidence in production..), it becomes a blemish on that art.. Clearly E is the correct answer...I hope this is the OA too.
Never thought that even a single word would make such a big difference!!
Yes...the answer given in the book is E. Thanks a lot for this explanation. The key is the meaning of word - "Industry".

Good question indeed, really made option E look remote initially but the explanation does indicate it as the correct one...I also didn't get the trick in using the word 'Industry' semantically....
Some who favor putting governmental enterprises into private hands suggest that conservation objectives would in general be better served if private environmental groups were put in charge of operating and financing the national park system, which is now run by the government.
A. Those seeking to abolish all restrictions on exploiting the natural resources of the parks might join the private environmental groups as members and eventually take over their leadership.
B. Private environmental groups might not always agree on the best ways to achieve conservation objectives.
C. If they wished to extend the park system, the private environmental groups might have to seek contributions from major donors and general public.
D. There might be competition among private environmental groups for control of certain park areas.
E. Some endangered species, such as the California condor, might die out despite the best efforts of the private environmental groups, even if those groups are not hampered by insufficient resources.

Dude, U forgot to put the question..
Anyways, I guess a quick read of the main and supoorting statement clearly says it all.. including the answer- which i believe is A..
CR:Pls reply with explanations The brazilian Ethanol industry consumed over twice as much molasses as suagr beet in 2006. An Ethanol industry analyst has projected that by 2008 the industry will use at leasr as much sugar beet annually as it does molasses, while using a greater quantity of molasses than it did in 2006. Given that the stimulus is accurate, which of the following can be inferred accurately? A) In 2008 the ethanol industry will use at least twice as much sugar beet as it did in 2006 B) As compared with 2006, in 2008 the ethanol industry will make more ethanol from sugar beet C) In 2008, the ethanol industry will use at least twice as much molasses as it did in 2006 D) As compared with 2006, in 2008 the ethanol industry will make less ethanol from molasses E) In 2008 the ethanol industry will produce more ethanol from a given amount of molasses than it did in 2006

let us assume the ethanol industry uses 100 units of molasses...then, it will use 50 units of beet...by 2008, it will use ATLEAST as much beet as molasses while increasing the usage of molasses vis-a-vis 2006...hence, even in worst cases, we can assume the industry to use 120 units of molasses, say, then it will use 120 units of beet too in 2008 which will, under all circumstances, be more than the industry's consumption of beet in 2006 hence, answer is A which can be inferred as above...
can someone tell the ans to this problem with explanations:
Q. Opponents of laws that require automobile drivers and passengers to wear seat belts argue that in a free society people have the right to take risks as long as the people do not harm other as a result of taking the risks. As a result, they conclude that it should be each persons decision whether or not to wear a seat belt. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion drawn above? A. Many new cars are built with seat belts that automatically fasten when someone sits in the front seat. B. Automobile insurance rates for all automobile owners are higher because of the need to pay for the increased injuries or deaths of people not wearing seat belts. C. Passengers in airplanes are required to wear seat belts during takeoffs and landings. D. The rate of automobile fatalities in states that do not have mandatory seat belt laws is greater than the rate of fatalities in states that do have such laws. E. In automobile accidents, a greater number of passengers who do not wear seat belts are injured than are passengers who do wear seat belts.
6. Researchers have found that when very overweight people， who tend to have relatively low metabolic rates， lose weight primarily through dieting， their metabolisms generally remain unchanged. They will thus burn significantly fewer calories at the new weight than do people whose weight is normally at that level. Such newly thin persons will， therefore， ultimately regain weight until their body size again matches their metabolic rate.The conclusion of the argument above depends on which of the following assumptions？ （A） Relatively few very overweight people who have dieted down to a new weight tend to continue to consume substantially fewer calories than do people whose normal weight is at that level. （B） The metabolisms of people who are usually not overweight are much more able to vary than the metabolisms of people who have been very overweight. （C） The amount of calories that a person usually burns in a day is determined more by the amount that is consumed that day than by the current weight of the individual. （D） Researchers have not yet determined whether the metabolic rates of formerly very overweight individuals can be accelerated by means of chemical agents. （E） Because of the constancy of their metabolic rates， people who are at their usual weight normally have as much difficulty gaining weight as they do losing it.

Waiting for replies
answer :B explanation:Well,the argument is about not harming others....but the insurance people r troubled if U dont wear seat belts as they have to PAY for the INCREASED injury/death etc...

Answer with explanations plz :D
Is the answer A Conclusion: Newly thin people will gain weight because of the constant metabolic rate A)Conclusion depends on this assumption. Very few of these people will diet when they become thin and hence will eat more or equal to normal people, while their metabolic rate/the no of calories burnt will remain low and so will agin weight again. B)variation is metabolic rate is not in the question C)This if true weakens the conclusion but we r looking for assumption D)out of scope E)cannot be derived from teh argument.

One state adds a 7 percent sales tax to the price of most products purchased within its jurisdiction. This tax, therefore, if viewed as tax on income, has the reverse effect of the federal income tax: the lower the income, the higher the annual percentage rate at which the income is taxed. The conclusion above would be properly drawn if which of the following were assumed as a premise? (A) The amount of money citizens spend on products subject to the state tax tends to be equal across income levels. (B) The federal income tax favors citizens with high incomes, whereas the state sales tax favors citizens with low incomes. (C) Citizens with low annual incomes can afford to pay a relatively higher percentage of their incomes in state sales tax, since their federal income tax is relatively low. (D) The lower a states sales tax, the more it will tend to redistribute income from the more affluent citizens to the rest of society.ďźˆA (E) Citizens who fail to earn federally taxable income are also exempt from the state sales tax. any explanantion ????
Dear Sushant, first things first, CR is my strnth but was quite bogged down by this one. i was (perhaps am not) not able to understnd the second sentence of the question.. I Zeroed in on to A&B; by the method of negation applied on to 3,4,&5:
thou quite unsure about my answer right now... i wud certainly appreciate your pt, of view

Hi There,
I aint 2 sure abt the ans myself but we can negate out 3,4 & 5..as for B i feel its more a conclusion rather than being a Premise or Condition..
Effect of Federal Tax: Higher the income greater is the amount paid as taxes; if we take A as a premise which says that the amount of money ppl pay as sales tax is almost equal across all income levels which means a person with lower income is also subject to the same tax as is a person with higher income which is obviously the Reverse effect of Federal tax
good pt. i also think that answer is A, i wasn't able to categorize B anywhere ...bt ithink what you said was right... chalo...post some more questions puys...
