QUESTION TYPE: Parallel Reasoning
CONCLUSION: It’s not likely we will get inflation under control.
REASONING: Getting inflation under control would require that world leaders fully cooperate to slow the rate of economic growth. (It is implied that this is a very unlikely event.)
ANALYSIS: This is a good argument. It has the following structure: “To do A, we would have to do B. But B is a very hard thing to do. So we won’t do A.”
___________
- This is a good argument, but it has a different structure. It’s quite possible all employees will cooperate and safety will be improved.
- This would be correct if it had concluded that management efficiency could not be improved because it would be impossible to fire senior employees.
- This is a good argument, which concludes that the proposal will be delayed, and that an optimal decision could occur.
- CORRECT. This argument implies that large cost overruns are unacceptable, and therefore vehicles will not be as safe as they could be. A needs B, B won’t happen, therefore no A. It is a good argument, which mirrors the argument in the stimulus.
- This is not a good argument. Is honesty the best policy, or isn’t it? Maybe their jobs will only be slightly at risk, and complaints will be minor.
