(C).
The question asks what judgement, or conclusion, must follow from
the exact words of the passage. Answers that could be true are incorrect.
(A) The argument states that “[s]ome say that Saddlebrook College provides
the best value in our state,” and then offers evidence opposing that statement.
It does not have to be true that Tunbridge provides the best value in the state;
there could be other colleges in the state.
(B) The passage provides no information about entrance requirements or the
quality of the student body.
(C) CORRECT.
The second sentence in the passage describes various ways
in which Tunbridge is a better value than Saddlebrook, so it must follow that
Saddlebrook is not the best value.
(D) This choice represents an assumption in the argument—that income after
graduation is part of evaluating which college provides the best value—but
the question asks for a conclusion, not an assumption within the argument.
(E) This choice is irrelevant—“satisfaction” is not the same as “value.”
4.
(B).
The researchers have confused correlation with causation. If two traits
X and Y are found together (in this case, red cars and speeding tickets), it
does not mean that X causes Y. It could be that Y causes X, or that some third
factor Z causes both. In addition, the researchers have made a second
assumption—that the increased number of speeding tickets is the result of an
increase in the number of speeding infractions (and not, say, the increase in
attention that a red car might get).
(A) This choice regarding black cars is completely irrelevant to this argument.
