25. (B). This question is an Analyze the Argument Structure question; the best approach is to identify the conclusion, and then check each boldface portion of the question for how it relates to the conclusion, and eliminate incorrect answer choices on that basis. Here, the second boldface is the conclusion of the argument, as highlighted by the use of the signal word Therefore.

(A) The first boldface is not an assumption, as assumptions are, by definition, unstated. Also, the second boldface does not just describe the arguments recommended position, it is itself the conclusion of the argument.

(B) CORRECT. The first boldface is a consideration that helps explain why companies charge as much as possible for new designs. The second boldface presents

a different strategy endorsed by the argument, of charging less than the greatest possible price to maximize profit.

(C) The first boldface is not an assumption, as assumptions are, by definition, unstated. The second boldface is not the strategy referenced in the first boldface, as this answer choice suggests.

(D) The first boldface does not demonstrate that the strategy of selling for the greatest price will not apply, but instead supports it. Also, the second boldface is the arguments conclusion itself, not a factor in support of it.

(E) The description of the first boldface is accurate; however, the second boldface is not a factor against the strategy of maximizing profits by charging the greatest possible price, but an alternative strategy altogether. 342 Mid #16 explanation Since kids are cheaper, you don't want to add more kids to the mix (2 kids, 4 adults will give... -x|x| > 4 (E) kn > -lm -b > b + 4 Since kid's tickets are cheaper, you don't want to add more kids to the mix (4 kids, 2 adults will give... -x|x| 4 (E) km > -ln -b > b + c

{Editor's note: The detailed explanation for why the answer is D is too complex for the GRE, and this question will be removed in a future edition. Any x = [k- 1 + squareroot(k2 + 2k + 5)]/2, where k is a positive integer, will work for the constraints. All such x values EXCEPT the one relied on in the current explanation are greater than Quantity B.} 17. III, IV, and V only. {Make the fraction bar between (1/1) and (1/5-2) longer. That is, the middle of the three bars should be the longest.} 11. (A). ...the lowermost portion of the fraction, 1/5-2, is equal to 52. The uppermost portion of the fraction, 1/1, is just equal to 1. {cut the first fraction} Putting these together, the original fraction can be simplified. {Fraction from the question} = 1/52 = 1/25, which is the final answer. Since x + y = 11, y = 7 and Quantity B is greater. ...how many FULL days will the fuel supply last? ...how many hours of golf lessons does... ...to generate revenue of... x = the number of hours of lessons Jeanie takes 32.

If the mean = 4, then... 13. 225,000. 47. 36.6. To calculate first find the squared differences between the average and the terms. For example, the difference between the average, 4, and the first term, 1, is 5. 52 = 25. Do this for all four terms. 1: (4 (1))2 = 52 = 25 4: (4 (0))2 = 42 = 16 30: (4 (30))2 = (26)2 = 676 21: (4 (21))2 = (25)2 = 625 Add all of these terms together: 25 + 16 + 676 + 625 = 1,342. Square root of 1342 = 36.633. ...round to the nearest tenth, so the answer is 36.6. ...scould be the value of m?

If the mean is 3, then... 13. 250,000. 47. 36.4. To calculate, first find the squared differences between the average and each of the terms. For example, there is a difference of 4 between the average, which is 3, and the first term, which is -1. The square of this difference is 42 = 16. Repeat for the other three terms. -1: (3 (-1))2 = 42 = 16 4: (3 (4))2 = (-1)2 = 1 30: (3 (30))2 = (-27)2 = 729 -21: (3 (-21))2 = (24)2 = 576 Add all of these terms together: 16 + 1+ 729 + 576 = 1,322. Square root of 1322 36.359. ...round to the nearest tenth, so the answer is 36.4. ...could be the value of m?
