1 A significant social trend in the 20th century was for people to move away from their place of birth in
order to access education and work. This gave individuals more opportunities and helped the
economy by producing mobility within the workforce. The negative side of this is now being felt as
more and more elderly people face the problems of old age without family members nearby to care
for them. This has negative effects on the economy as well as on the individual, as more and more
state funding for care is needed.

Which one of the following could be drawn as a conclusion of the above passage?

A The benefits of a mobile workforce have to be compared with the costs to elderly people and
the economy.

B Elderly people are expecting the state to provide care for them rather than relying on their
children.

C People should try to find education and work close to their place of birth.

D The state should provide care for elderly people to make mobility of the workforce possible.

E People should make caring for their elderly parents a priority over choice of work opportunities.

2 Any company that wishes to sell a new drug must provide the government with details of research
about its safety and possible side effects. At present, this information is confidential, but there are
plans to make it available to the public. While patients are surely entitled to more information about
the drugs they are prescribed, this will also inevitably make public vital details about the ingredients
of certain drugs and how they are manufactured. Drug companies are naturally reluctant to release
this information to their competitors. Therefore, through fear of imitators, drug companies will no
longer introduce new and important drugs into the country.

Which one of the following, if true, would most weaken the above argument?

A There are sufficient drugs already on the market and so there is no necessity to introduce new
ones.

B The drug industry is a very competitive business and secrecy is vital if companies are to
survive.

C People may be reluctant to use certain drugs when they have fuller information about them.

D People are better informed about the side effects of drugs abroad than they are in this country.

E Strong patent laws prevent companies from using the information to create rival drugs.

3 There is an increasing number of historical or significant buildings in the UK which are said to be 'At
Risk'. Without a change in the law most of these buildings are doomed to crumble into the ground.
This is because these buildings are no longer structurally sound. The exisiting strict renovation
laws mean that they are too expensive or impractical for private individuals or developers to
renovate or repair. There are certainly people out there who would be willing to maintain these
buildings if they could use more modern and less expensive techniques and materials. Surely it is
better to sacrifice some of the original building's character rather than lose the entire structure.

Which one of the following best expresses the main conclusion of the above argument?

A There is nothing wrong with changing the character of historic buildings.

B 'At Risk' buildings need to be renovated according to strict rules.

C A change in the law is needed if we hope to preserve more 'At Risk' buildings.

D Existing laws make 'At Risk' buildings too expensive for most developers.

E Historians can learn more from buildings which have not been modernised by modern
developers.

4 Many people believe that foreign travel broadens the mind and that there is some inherent benefit in
spending some time in a culture different from your own. Many students are taking 'gap' years
where they spend time in another country. Whilst this may offer some benefits in terms of
confidence and independence, it is wrong to assume that foreign travel alone can provide this.
Global travel can have negative impacts on local cultures and the environment. Home country
based 'gap' projects are often seen as unglamourous but the benefit of working with different
groups and cultures within our own society can be equally rewarding.

Which one of the following is the main conclusion of the above passage?

A Foreign gap year projects must have an element of community work for them to be worthwhile.

B Foreign travel is not the only way to gain confidence and independence.

C Projects within our own society can be as rewarding as foreign travel.

D There is inherent benefit in spending some time abroad.

E It is important that gap year students consider the impact of their travel on the communities
they work in.

5 After looking at interviews conducted with a number of adult learners, our research suggested that
the learners who felt they were most successful were all highly motivated. We noticed that early
success had heightened motivation in some cases and saw that both success and motivation may
be due to a special aptitude for learning. We also noticed that many of those who felt they were
most motivated were also learning in favourable conditions or for fun, which meant they may have
become motivated since starting their classes. Though these conditions seemed persuasive, the
results led us to the same conclusion. It's impossible to learn anything without motivation.

Which one of the following is NOT a flaw in the above argument?

A It assumes that those who felt they were successful actually were.

B It assumes that those who felt they were motivated actually were.

C The research does not establish that there are no successful learners who lacked motivation.

D The research is only concerned with adult learners.

E It assumes that in order to be motivated you have to have a special aptitude for learning.

8 A nationwide survey showed that the majority of people would not be willing to give up their car in
favour of public transport. However, in a recent survey of people living in an area with heavy traffic
problems, 76% stated that they would prefer to travel to work by public transport if the system was
made more reliable. This shows that the previous findings were wrong. We should, therefore,
restrict car use and start a programme of improving the nation's public transport network as soon
as possible.

Which one of the following is the best statement of the flaw in the argument above?

A It fails to specify which types of public transport are to be improved.

B The counter arguments are not explained in detail.

C The statistic presented may not be representative of the whole population.

D It does not consider the 24% who would not prefer to use public transport.

E It fails to explain how the public transport system can be improved.

16 Ever since Uranus was discovered, astronomers have thought there might be more planets in the
Solar System. Because of small deviations in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune ­ deviations which
would occur if another planet existed ­ some astronomers think there must be an undiscovered
planet ­ Planet X. But these deviations cannot tell us whether Planet X exists, because they would
occur if the orbits had been wrongly predicted. Since Uranus and Neptune take many decades to
circle the sun, astronomers rely on old data to calculate their orbits. As this is likely to be
inaccurate, the calculated orbits are probably wrong, and so Uranus and Neptune will deviate from
them even if there is no Planet X.

Which one of the following best expresses the main conclusion of the above argument?

A The use of old and inaccurate data indicates that Planet X cannot exist.

B Astronomers are right to think that there must be an undiscovered planet.

C The deviations in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune cannot tell us whether Planet X exists.

D The calculations of the orbits of Uranus and Neptune are probably wrong.

E Uranus and Neptune will deviate from the predicted orbits whether or not Planet X exists.

17 According to a recent analysis of university entrance records, you are more likely to go to university
if your name is John than if it is Wayne. Therefore, if you want your child to go to university, you are

A It draws a general conclusion from specific evidence.

B It confuses a necessary condition with a sufficient one.

C It jumps to a conclusion without any evidence.

D It confuses a correlation with a cause.

E It fails to consider other names than Wayne or John.

18 The low level of literacy among science undergraduates is an issue across all universities. One of
the biggest problems is that pupils in school spend more time perfecting their SMS text messaging
and emailing skills than they do writing grammatically correct pieces of literature. It is important to
get across to undergraduates that good writing matters. Employers take on scientists believing they
can communicate their findings fluently and accurately. We need to deliver science graduates with
these skills.

Which one of the following best expresses the main conclusion of the above argument?

A Education is failing those who leave with poor writing skills.

B Students must be helped to recognise the importance of good literacy skills.

C Many science graduates are unable to write in a grammatically correct way.

D Employment often depends on good ability in literacy.

E Students do not concentrate properly in lessons in school.

20 It has recently been suggested that some degrees can be completed in two years instead of the
traditional three years. But staff teaching engineering and medicine at degree level say that the
current first year mostly involves getting students up to a common level of maths and physics,
which in the past was achieved by high school teaching. By the end of the second year few
students have reached the level of attainment that students did 40 years ago. Two year degrees
are not realistic ­ certainly not for engineering.

Which one of the following is an assumption of the argument in the passage above?

A Two year degree courses will have the same amount of teaching per year as three year
courses.

B School examinations are easier now than they were 40 years ago.

C Maths and physics are more important elements of engineering than they were 40 years ago.

D Engineering students are less motivated than they were 40 years ago.

E Two year degree courses will be more popular with students than three year courses.

21 One in four deaths caused by road accidents involving commercial vehicles is caused by the driver
falling asleep at the wheel. The problem even affects police men and women, who are now more
likely to die due to driving when tired than by physical attacks. Evidence at the scene (such as tyre
marks) can tell investigators how quickly the car driver braked: late breaking would indicate lack of
concentration which might be caused by tiredness. The problem with this evidence is that it is not
conclusive, whereas conclusive evidence can be offered for other offences such as drink driving.

Which one of the following can be drawn as a conclusion of the passage above?

A Accidents caused by drivers falling asleep at the wheel are a greater problem than drink
driving.

B Commercial vehicle drivers and the police are more prone to falling asleep at the wheel
because of the long hours they work.

C The number of hours per day that commercial drivers should be allowed to drive should be
reduced.

D It will not be as easy to prosecute drivers for falling asleep at the wheel as it is for drink driving.

E It would be unfair to prosecute people for falling asleep at the wheel.

24 A study on identical twins concluded that genes contribute roughly half of the attributes we need to
be happy. People often find such studies scary, seeing something sinister about us being mere
puppets of our biology. However, put in non­scientific terms, it sounds like common sense. Parents
talk about how their children had different personality traits from a very young age. Perhaps it's
nicer to think this is caused by something 'fluffy' like a soul ­ but even if that were true, why is that
more reassuring than the thought that genes are responsible? Either way, you're born as you are.

Which one of the following statements is best supported as the conclusion of the passage above?

A Roughly half of what we need to be happy is decided by our genetic make up.

B We may as well accept the idea that our potential for happiness in life is to some extent
decided at birth.

C Whether or not you are happy in life is either determined by your soul or your genes.

D Whether or not you are happy in life is not something over which you yourself have any control.

E The person you are at birth is the person you will be throughout your life.

30 Horrific images of the earthquake in Haiti were seen immediately all over the world, and by the next
day the full extent of the damage was seen by the entire world. Clearly, the main problem was
moving aid from the airport to distant areas, and with the roads largely blocked the only practical
method was to use helicopters. The great nations of the world should be ashamed that food was
not getting to the people who needed it, and that even a week later their relief still depended on the
ability of courageous and skillful drivers to reach them in trucks.

Which one of the following is an underlying assumption of the argument above?

A The relief agencies were able to import trucks to Haiti but not helicopters.

B The great nations of the world had helicopters at their disposal which could reach Haiti within a
week.

C There was enough food in Haiti to supply all the people in the weeks after the earthquake.

D The images failed to prompt the great nations of the world into relief operations after the
earthquake.

E The people of Haiti were able to clear their roads within a week of the earthquake.
