Which one of the followings, if true, most help to explain how the deer mouse might have found its way back to its nest?

(A) The area to which the deer mouse was moved was dryer and more rocky than the area in which its nest was located.

(B) The researchers released the deer mouse in a flat area across which their campfire smoke drifted.

(C) There were very few deer mice in the area to which the deer mouse was moved.

(D) The researchers had moved the deer muse in a small dark box, keeping the mouse calm before it was released.

(E) Animals that prey on deer mice were common in the area to which the deer mouse was moved.

4. The government's proposed 8 percent cut in all subsidies to arts groups will be difficult for those groups to absorb. As can be seen, however, from their response to last year's cut, it will not put them out of existence. Last year there was also an 8 percent cut and though private fund-raising was very difficult for the arts groups in the current necessary economy, the did survive.

The reasoning in the argument is flawed because the argument

(A) relies without warrant on the probability that the economy will improve

(B) does not raise the issue of whether there should be any government subsidies to arts groups at all

(C) equates the mere survival of the arts groups with their flourishing

(D) Does not take into account that the dollar amount of the proposed cut is lower than the dollar amount of last year's cut

(E) Overlooks the possibility that the cumulative effect of the cuts will be more that the arts groups can withstand.

5. The average literate person today spends significantly less time reading than the average literate person did 50 years ago, yet many more books are sold per year now than were sold 50 years ago.

Each of the following, if true, help resolve the apparent discrepancy above EXCEPT:

(A) The population of the literate people is significantly larger today that it was 50 years ago.

(B) People who read books 50 years ago were more likely to read books borrowed from libraries that are people who read books today.

(C) The average scholar ore other person who uses books professionally today owns and consults many more different books than did the average scholar or similar professional 50 years ago.

6. Some scientists believe that the relationship between mice and humans has, over time, diminished the ability of mice to survive in nature, so that now the must depend upon human civilization for their continued existence. This opinion, however, ignores significant facts. Despite numerous predators and humanity抯 enmity, mice have distributed themselves more widely across the planet than any other mammal except humans. Mice reproduce rapidly and, more important to their survival, they have the ability to adapt to an extraordinary range of habitats. Should the environment ever become too extreme to support human life, naturalists predict that mice would be able to adapt and survive.

Which one of the following, if true, would most support the naturalists? prediction?

(A) The size of the mouse population is limited by the availability of food.

(B) Under optimum conditions, mice reproduce every four weeks, with five to seven pups per litter.

(C) Fossil remains prove that mice inhabited North America prior to the arrival of humans.
