I wanted to share some new questions with the forum. As background, I teach for Veritas Prep and specialize in both the GMAT and the LSAT. I have written dozens of critical reasoning questions that have been published in books and in practice tests.
Here is a fun one to start with. This is for fans of OFFICE SPACE the movie from about 10 years ago - not the Office TV show although that is a good one, too.
I will post the analysis tomorrow ... please feel free to treat this as a serious question, it as and the logic works.
"Which of the following best completes the passage?
Milton: I believe that you have my red stapler.
Boss: Yeah...we switched from the Swingline to the Boston staplers some time ago. So I am just going to have to go ahead and confiscate this...
Milton: But I was told that I could keep this stapler, it is a better stapler and it does not jam.
Boss: Sorry, Milton. Oh and I'm going to have to ask you to go ahead and move your desk to the basement...
Milton and the Boss are committed to disagreeing about whether___
A) Milton should move his desk to the basement.
B) The red Swingline stapler jams less.
C) Milton should be allowed to keep his red stapler.
D) The company previously switched to Boston staplers.
E) Milton needs to go ahead and come in on Saturday."
