OG15 OG16 OG17	The following appeared as part of an editorial in an industry newsletter:"While trucking companies that deliver goods pay only a portion of highway maintenance costs and no property tax on the highways they use, railways spend billions per year maintaining and upgrading their facilities. The government should lower the railroad companies' property taxes, since sending goods by rail is clearly a more appropriate mode of ground transportation than highway shipping. For one thing, trains consume only a third of the fuel a truck would use to carry the same load, making them a more cost-effective and environmentally sound mode of transport. Furthermore, since rail lines already exist, increases in rail traffic would not require building new lines at the expense of taxpaying citizens."Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative explanations or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion.

OG15 OG16 OG17	The following appeared in the editorial section of a newspaper:"As public concern over drug abuse has increased, authorities have become more vigilant in their efforts to prevent illegal drugs from entering the country. Many drug traffickers have consequently switched from marijuana, which is bulky, or heroin, which has a market too small to justify the risk of severe punishment, to cocaine. Thus enforcement efforts have ironically resulted in an observed increase in the illegal use of cocaine."Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument.

This improvement has occurred despite the fact that the school's funding, when adjusted for inflation, is about the same as it was 20 years ago. Therefore, we do not need to make any substantial increase in the school's funding at this time."Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument.

OG17 OG18	Professor A: the aid industry should begin to limit its effort to spending on primary schools in the poorest areas, providing medicines and other basic supplies for health care such as mosquito nets, and to a few key agricultural initiatives.Professor B: much education work has been ineffective.

OG17 OG18	Educational policy analyst: To improve the long-term economic benefits that our country’s universities provide to their students, the government should provide subsidies enabling the universities to hire more academic staff.

And on average, a student who earns higher grades in university classes tends to have a higher salary after graduation than a student who earns lower grades. Thus, hiring more academic staff nationwide should improve the economic wellbeing of graduates nationwide.Consider the incomplete statement:According to the analyst's argument, students’ 1 is bolstered by their 2.Select for 1 and 2 the options that complete the statement in the manner that most accurately reflects the given information. Make only two selections, one in each column.

OG17 OG18	The diagram shows a project team consisting of exactly 8 workers. Each worker is represented by a circle labeled with a capital letter. An arrow directed from one worker’s circle to a second worker’s circle indicates that the first worker directs project-related questions to the second worker. Each of the workers to whom no other worker directs project-related questions is an individual contributor, and each worker to whom one or more of the other workers directs project-related questions is a coordinator. For example, G (an individual contributor) directs project-related questions to E (a coordinator), but E does not direct project-related questions to G; whereas C and D (both coordinators) direct project-related questions to one another.
