We commonly speak of aesthetic judgments as subjective, and in the short term they are, since critics often disagree about the value of a particular contemporary work of art. But over time, the subjective element disappears. When works of art have continued to delight audiences for centuries, as have the paintings of Michelangelo, the music of Bach, and the plays of Shakespeare, we can objectively call them great.
The statements above best support which of the following conclusions?

  1. When Michelangelo, Bach, and Shakespeare were alive, critics disagreed about the value of their work.
  2. The value of a contemporary work of art cannot be objectively measured.
  3. The reputation of a work of art often fluctuates greatly from one generation to the next.
  4. The mere fact that a work of art has endured for centuries does not establish its greatness.
  5. If critics agree about the value of a particular cotemporary work of art, then the work can objectively be called great.

Answer(s): B



Since the 55-mile-per-hour speed limit was mandated on our highways, both money and human lives have been saved.

  1. Most highway users find that travel times are not appreciably lengthened by the 55-mile-per-hour speed limit.
  2. Highway driving at 55 miles per hour or less is more fuel-efficient than high-speed driving.
  3. Nearly all highway safety experts agree that more accidents occur at speeds over 55 miles per hour than at lower speeds.
  4. The percentage of fatalities occurring in highway accidents at speeds greater than 55 miles per hour is higher than that for low-speed accidents.
  5. Automobiles last longer and require fewer repairs when driven at consistently lower speeds.

Answer(s): A

  1. Several members of the city council receive sizable campaign contributions from environmental lobbying groups.
  2. Members of the city council are required to report the size and source of each campaign contribution they receive.
  3. Not every real estate development firm in the city will be able to participate in, and profit from, the new downtown redevelopment plan.
  4. The members of the city council have often voted in ways that are opposed to the interests of their campaign contributors.
  5. Some environmentalists have stated that the new downtown redevelopment plan might be environmentally sound if certain minor modifications are made.

Answer(s): D



A mail order company recently had a big jump in clothing sales after hiring a copywriter and a graphic artist to give its clothing catalog a magazine like format designed to appeal to a more upscale clientele. The company is now planning to launch a house wares catalog using the same concept.

  1. other house wares catalogs with magazine like formats do not already exist

  3. the same copywriter and graphic artist could be employed for both the clothing and house wares catalogs
  4. a magazine like format requires a copywriter and a graphic artist
