NEW QUESTION 127
Mannis Corporation's archival records are stored in an obsolete format that is accessible only by its current computer system; thus they are inaccessible when that system is not functioning properly. In order to avoid the possibility of losing access to their archival records in the case of computer malfunction, Mannis plans to replace its current computer system with a new system that stores records in a format that is accessible to several different systems.
The answer to which of the following questions would be most helpful in evaluating the effectiveness of the plan as a means of retaining access to the archival records?
- A. Will Mannis' current collection of archival records be readily transferable to the new computer system?
- B. Has Mannis Corporation always stored its archival records in a computerized format?
- C. Will the new computer system that Mannis plans ensure greater security for the records stored than does Mannis' current system?
- D. Will the new computer system be able to perform many more tasks than the current system is able to perform?
- E. Will the new computer system require fewer operators than the current system requires?

NEW QUESTION 128
Contrary to the statements of labor leaders, the central economic problem facing America today is not the distribution of wealth. It is productivity. With the productivity of U.S. industry stagnant, or even declining slightly, the economic pie is no longer growing. Labor leaders, of course, point to what they consider an unfair distribution of the slices of pie to justify their demands for further increases in wages and benefits.
And in the past, when the pie was still growing, management could afford to acquiesce. No longer. Until productivity resumes its growth, there can be no justification for further increases in the compensation of workers.
Which of the following statements by a labor leader focuses on the logical weakness in the argument above?
- A. As a labor leader, I can be concerned only with the needs of working people, not with the problems faced by management.
- B. Although productivity is stagnant, the U.S. population is growing, so that the absolute size of the economic pie continues to grow as well.
- C. The stagnation of U.S. industry has been caused largely by factors - such as foreign competition - beyond the control of American workers.
- D. Although the economic pie is no longer growing, the portion of the pie allocated to American workers remains unjustly small.
- E. If management fails to accommodate the demands of workers, labor leaders will be forced to call strikes that will cripple the operation of industry.

NEW QUESTION 129
In order for us within our society to be able to make decisions about the kinds of punishments we impose upon those criminals who are convicted of crimes, we must first understand why we punish criminals.
- A. Beginning with understanding why we punish, we can then as a society make decisions about the kinds of punishments we impose upon criminals.
- B. In order for us within our society to be able to make decisions about the kinds of punishments we impose upon those criminals who are convicted of crimes, we must first understand why we punish criminals.
- C. Deciding upon the kinds of punishments we impose upon criminals, as a society, we must first understand why punishment is imposed upon criminals.
- D. To make decisions about the kinds of punishments we impose upon criminals, we must first understand why we punish criminals.
- E. In order for us to be able to decide about the kinds of punishments we impose upon people convicted of crimes, we must first understand why people should be punished.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Choices a, c, and d are wordy and redundant, with a being the most problematic. Choice e changes to make decisions into deciding, creating an awkward sentence because the sentence opens with a participle rather than an infinitive clause, suggesting action already in progress rather than action that will be taken once reasons for punishment are understood.
NEW QUESTION 130
A recent spate of launching and operating mishaps with television satellites led to a corresponding surge in claims against companies underwriting satellite insurance. As a result, insurance premiums shot up, making satellites more expensive to launch and operate. This, in turn, has added to the pressure to squeeze more performance out of currently operating satellites.
Which of the following, if true, taken together with the information above, best supports the conclusion that the cost of television satellites will continue to increase?
- A. Since the risk to insurers of satellites is spread over relatively few units, insurance premiums are necessarily very high.
- B. When satellites reach orbit and then fail, the causes of failure are generally impossible to pinpoint with confidence.
- C. Most satellites are produced in such small numbers that no economies of scale can be realized.
- D. The greater the performance demands placed on satellites, the more frequently those satellites break down.
- E. Since many satellites are built by unwieldy international consortia, inefficiencies are inevitable.

Less than 50 percent of a certain tropical country's wildlands remains intact.
