Directions: The equestions in this section are based on the reasoning contained in brief statements or passages. For some questions more than one of the choices could conceivably answer the question. However, you are to choose the best answer that is the response that most accurately and completely answers the question. You should not make assumptions that are by commonsense standards implausible, superfluous, or incompatible with the passage. After you have chosen the best answer blacken the corresponding space on your answer sheet.

1. If a country s manufacturing capacity is fully utilized, three can be no industrial growth without new capital investment. Any reduction in interest rates produces new capital investment

　　Which one of the following can be properly concluded from the statements above?

(A) Interest rates might in exceptional cases be reduced without there being 　　any subsequent investment of new capital.
(B) A reduction in interest rates might cause a precondition for industrial growth 　　to be met.
(C) If a country s manufacturing capacity is underutilized, interest rates should 　　be held sonstant.
(D) New capital investment that takes place while interest rates are rising 　　cannot lead to industrial growth.
(E) Manufacturing capacity newly created by capital investment needs to be 　　fully utilized if it is to lead to industrial growth.

2. A certain type of insect trap uses a scented lure to attract rose beetles into a plastic bag from which it is difficult for them to escape. If several of these traps are installed in a backyard garden, the number of rose beetles in the garden will be greatly reduced. If only one trap is installed, however, the number of rose beetles in the garden will actually increase

　　Which one of the following, if true most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy?

(A) The scent of a single trap s lure usually cannot be detected throughout a 　　backyard garden by rose beetles
(B) Several traps are better able to catch a large number of rose beetles than is 　　one trap alone, since any rose beetles that evade one trap are likely to 　　encounter another trap if there are several traps in the garden.
(C) When there are several traps in a garden, they each capture fewer rose 　　beetles than any single trap would if it were the only trap in the garden
(D) The presence of any traps in a backyard garden will attract more rose 　　beetles than one trap can catch, but several traps will not attract 　　significantly more rose beetles to a garden than one trap will.
(E) When there is only one trap in the garden, the plastic bag quickly becomes 　　filled to capacity, allowing some rose beeties to escape

3. The current move to patent computer programs is a move in the wrong direction and should be stopped. The patent system was originally designed solely to protect small-time inventors from exploitation. not to give large corporations control over a methodology. Any computer program is merely the implementation of a methodology.

　　Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

(A) Computer programs should be developed not only be large corporations but 　　by small-time inventors as well.
(B) Implementing a methodology always requires less creative effort than does 　　true invention
(C) The issue of whether or not to patent computer programs presents the 　　patent system with problems that have never before arisen
(D) Large corporations should not hold patents for implementations of 　　methodologies
