Question 1

Choose the response that fully answers the following: Every comic is a cynic. Henry is a funny guy.

Accepted Answer

Henry is a cynic.

Answer

The question presents two premises: 'Every comic is a cynic' and 'Henry is a funny guy.' To logically conclude 'Henry is a cynic,' there must be an unstated premise connecting 'funny guy' to 'comic.' Assuming that 'funny guy' in this context implies 'comic,' the argument becomes a classic syllogism: All comics are cynics; Henry is a comic; therefore, Henry is a cynic. This deduction directly leads to the correct answer.

Question 2

Choose the response that fully answers the following: Blue mountain lions are universal. Mountain lion spotted by Peter.

Accepted Answer

The mountain lion was blue.

Answer

The first premise, 'Blue mountain lions are universal,' is an unusual phrasing but in the context of a logical reasoning question, it is best interpreted as 'All mountain lions are blue.' The second premise states that 'Mountain lion spotted by Peter.' If all mountain lions are blue, and Peter spotted a mountain lion, then the specific mountain lion Peter spotted must necessarily be blue. This is a direct application of the general rule to a specific instance.

Question 3

As ______ is to ________, astronomy is to astrology.

Accepted Answer

forensics : pseudo-science

Answer

The relationship between 'astronomy' and 'astrology' is that astronomy is a legitimate scientific discipline, while astrology is a pseudo-science that superficially resembles astronomy but lacks scientific validity. Therefore, the analogy is science is to pseudo-science. Option B, 'forensics : pseudo-science,' perfectly matches this relationship, as forensics is a scientific field used in legal contexts, and pseudo-science represents a field that claims scientific rigor but does not possess it.

Question 4

A real estate purchase agreement was made between the buyer and the seller. The parcel of land in dispute is separated into two parcels, Parcel 1 and Parcel 2, according to county records. When the deal was finalized, the seller signed the deed transferring the land under the impression that she was only selling Parcel 1. However, she eventually learns that both Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 were included in the legal description that was attached to the deed. Then the seller sues the buyer, alleging that after she signed the deed, the legal description was altered. Which of the following situations best compares to this situation?

Accepted Answer

A car dealer special ordered a new car from the factory according the buyer’s specifications, including 350 HP engine. After the car arrived and the dealer sold it to the buyer, buyer discovered that the car had only a 300 HP engine. Buyer sues dealer.

Answer

In the original situation, the seller intended to sell only Parcel 1 but the deed included both Parcel 1 and Parcel 2, leading to a dispute where the seller alleges the document was altered after signing. The core issue is a discrepancy between what was agreed upon/intended and what was legally documented/delivered, with an implication of a breach of agreement. Option D presents a similar scenario: the buyer specified a 350 HP engine, but the car delivered had only a 300 HP engine. This is a direct discrepancy between the buyer's specifications (intent/agreement) and the delivered product, leading to a lawsuit, paralleling the seller's situation.

Question 5

As _____ is to _______, negligence is to duty.

Accepted Answer

rule : element

Answer

In legal terms, 'duty' is one of the essential 'elements' that must be proven to establish 'negligence.' Negligence is defined as the breach of a duty of care. Therefore, duty is a fundamental component or prerequisite for negligence. Similarly, an 'element' is a fundamental part or component that makes up a 'rule' or a legal concept. Thus, 'rule : element' best captures this relationship where one term is a necessary component of the other.
