Answer here is C. The passage implies that if a Tyrant puts on the appearance of being devoted to religion, it will benefit the tyrant in a variety of ways. The only way that the conclusion will be valid, however, is if the tyrant's followers actually believe that the Tyrant is devoted to religion. ...

Mohit, What this comes down to is that the conclusion is very strong. It says that there is no way to evaluate whether a mathematical model could aid in the accuracy of weather forecasts. But, if, as B states, we have clear situations in the past in which more accurate mathematical models have been ...

The passage does suggest that doctors will charge for special procedures (and therefore those special procedures will not fall within the regulation which lowers the price of health insurance for patients), but it does not say that doctors will perform special procedure when they should be performin...

B.
The passage speaks about the loophole (without using that specific word) which will allow doctors to continually charge the patient and make the money that the doctor would have made had the regulations never been put into effect.

We're told that although only 3 percent of people have radar detectors, 33 percent of people ticketed for speeding have them. Based on this, the author concludes that those with radar detectors are more likely to speed . What if drivers who are not ticketed for speeding, are more likely to speed tha...

The second sentence is proper. The first sentence is slightly confusing. It could mean that parents should discipline both male and female children at the same time. In other words, as they are disciplining their sons, they should discipline their daughters. The second sentence is more clear, in tha...

Mohit, Choice D goes beyond the scope of the passage. Although we're told that high circulation magazines will lead to a sure increase of sales, we are told nothing about magazines which are not circulated widely. It's a stretch to claim anything about the proportion of the circulation of the magazi...

It's saying that parents should discipline their sons like they would discipline their daughters, if their daughters needed to be disciplined. It's not changing the meaning of the sentence. As for D, again, just note the word "discipline" being used twice, which although clear (you're corr...

I think I understand your confusion, and it's warranted. But look at the wording in the passage. It says that the excerpt will lead to a sure increase in sales. If it's true that the excerpt causes less people to buy the book than to not buy the book, it's no longer true that the excerpt will lead t...

But choice A specifically tells us that more people will buy the book than will not buy the book after seeing the excerpt. That absolutely has to be true for the conclusion stating that the excerpt will lead to an increase in sale. Once you've figured out that the answer choice has to be true for th...
