IMO the answer is B. The most logical explanation I can come up with is, when you are required to analyze a statistical assumption, then you should look for a statistical premise. The conclusion states that the GDP of country A rose from $5000-$6000 from 1980-1990. So, therefore the standard of liv...

I go with C.
Microbial life and bacteria are presented as example of existence of life without sunlight. E doesn't seem right, because it talks only about bacteria. So it can't be a conclusion. The statement in question provides better support to 'C' as conclusion.

Re: public transport
The city's public transportation system should be removed from the jurisdiction of the municipal government, which finds it politically impossible either to raise fares or to institute cost-saving reductions in service. If public transportation were handled by a private firm, profits would be vigor...

Re: Zydol capsule
4. One Zydol capsule contains twice the pain reliever found in regular aspirin. A consumer will have to take two aspirin in order to get the relief provided by one Zydol. And since a bottle of Zydol costs the same as a bottle of regular aspirin, consumers can be expected to switch to Zydol. Which o...
