Public Library

Question :

If the public library shared by the adjacent towns of Redville and Glenwood were relocated from the library’s current, overcrowded building in central Redville to a larger, available building in central Glenwood, the library would then be within walking distance of a larger number of library users. That is because there are many more people living in central Glenwood than in central Redville, and people generally will walk to the library only if it is located close to their homes.

Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

• (A) The public library was located between Glenwood and Redville before being moved to its current location in central Redville.
• (B) The area covered by central Glenwood is approximately the same size as that covered by central Redville.
• (C) The building that is available in Glenwood is smaller than an alternative building that is available in Redville.
• (D) Many of the people who use the public library do not live in either Glenwood or Redville.
• (E) The distance that people currently walk to get to the library is farther than what is generally considered walking distance.

Male Baldness

Question 1:

Most doctors dismiss male pattern baldness as a problem of heredity. A new theory, however, postulates that baldness can also result from number of external factors, such as a stressful urban lifestyle. Supporters of this new theory point out that baldness is twice as common among male who live in cities as it is among those who live elsewhere.

Which of the following most weakens the new theory described above?

A - Scientists have developed several drugs that halt baldness in men and can be taken internally
B - Census reports show that most men who are born in large cities live almost their entire lives within the city of their birth to remain close to their families
C - Most men do not develop male pattern baldness until they reach the age of 55, at which point their thoughts turn to pursuing a more restful lifestyle
D - Men who never lived in large cities are those who are least likely to develop male pattern baldness
E -A study determined that bald men are less likely to marry and reproduce
