Nutritionist: Recent studies show that the height of the average American has increased 2 inches in the past 10 years, lending support to the view that modern foods stimulate growth.

This argument would be weakened most by pointing out that

  1. statistics don't lie
  2. there are too many variables in this type of study
  3. the generic background of the subjects was not investigated
  4. the sample group used was small
  5. some people's height decreased

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Pointing out that "there are too many variables in this type of study" weakens the argument tremendously, because isolating the reason for the growth increase now becomes very difficult. Thus, we could not deduce that modern foods stimulate growth.
Option [the sample group used was small] is close, as it also weakens the argument, but it isn't specific enough. If [the sample group used was small] were "too small," then it would be an excellent answer.

The politicians cannot be telling the truth about a reduction in taxes. This year my taxes must have been higher than ever, because I was able to save less money than last year or the year before. All of the following point to an error in reasoning in this passage EXCEPT

  1. taxes are not the year's only expense.
  2. this year's earnings may have been smaller than last year's.
  3. politicians are frequently guilty of exaggeration or equivocation.
  4. this year's tax deductions may have been smaller than last year's
  5. income from invested income may have declined this year due to lower interest rates.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The speaker of this passage may have saved less money because his income was less [this year's earnings may have been...]. or [income from invested income may have...]., his tax deductions were smaller [this year's tax deductions may have been...]., or his expenses besides taxes were larger.
