Advertisement: Fabric-Soft leaves clothes soft and fluffy, and its fresh scent is a delight. We conducted a test using over 100 consumers to prove Fabric-Soft is best.

any of the consumers tested are allergic to fabric softeners
Fabric-Soft is more or less harmful to the environment than other fabric softeners

QUESTION: 9 Exam Topic: SECTION III, Reading Comprehension

Naturalist: The recent claims that the Tasmanian tiger is not extinct are false. The Tasmanian tiger’s natural habitat was taken over by sheep farming decades ago, resulting in the animal’s systematic elimination from the area. Since then naturalists working in the region have discovered no hard evidence of its survival, such as carcasses or tracks. In spite of alleged sightings of the animal, the Tasmanian tiger no longer exists.
Which one of the following is an assumption on which the naturalist’s argument depends?

Sheep farming drove the last Tasmanian tigers to starvation by chasing them from their natural habitat.
Some scavengers in Tasmania are capable of destroying tiger carcasses without a trace.
Every naturalist working in the Tasmanian tiger’s natural habitat has looked systematically for evidence of the tiger’s survival.
The Tasmanian tiger did not move and adapt to a different region in response to the loss of habitat.
Those who have reported sightings of the Tasmanian tiger are not experienced naturalists.

QUESTION: 11 Exam Topic: SECTION III, Reading Comprehension

Feathers recently taken from seabirds stuffed and preserved in the 1880s have been found to contain only half as much mercury as feathers recently taken from living birds of the same species. Since mercury that accumulates in a seabird’s feathers as the feathers grow is derived from fish eaten by the bird, these results indicate that mercury levels in saltwater fish are higher now than they were 100 years ago.
The argument depends on assuming that

the proportion of a seabird’s diet consisting of fish was not as high, on average, in the 1880s as it is today
the amount of mercury in a saltwater fish depends on the amount of pollution in the ocean habitat of the fish
mercury derived from fish is essential for the normal growth of a seabird’s feathers
the stuffed seabirds whose feathers were tested for mercury were not fully grown
the process used to preserve birds in the 1880s did not substantially decrease the amount of mercury in the birds’ feathers
