Question 7 is based on the following reading passage.During an economic depression, it is common for food prices to increaseeven as incomes decrease. Surprisingly, however, researchers determinedthat during a depression, for every 5% increase in the cost of bread, thelowest socioeconomic class actually increases the amount of breadpurchased per capita by 3%.7. Which of the following hypotheses best accounts for the researchers’findings?(A)Not all food costs increase during a depression; some food itemsactually become less expensive.(B)Because bread consumption does not increase by the samepercentage as the cost does, people are likely consuming more ofother food items to compensate.(C)When incomes decrease, people are typically forced to spend alarger proportion of their income on basic needs, such as food andhousing.(D)People who suddenly cannot afford more expensive foods, such asmeat, must compensate by consuming more inexpensive foods, suchas grains.(E)During a depression, people in the lowest socioeconomic class willcontinue to spend the same amount of money on food as they didbefore the depression began.Question 8 is based on the following reading passage.Bedbug infestations have been a problem in major cities for years. Thepesticide DDT has been found to be useful in killing bedbugs. However,DDT was banned in the United States and has been replaced by weakerpesticides. Thus, there is no effective means for eradicating bedbugs inthe United States.8. Which of the following, if true, most weakens the conclusion?(A)Bedbugs resemble other small insects in their appearance andbehavior.(B)Bedbugs have largely been eradicated in other parts of the world.(C)Some treatments that do not include DDT have proven effectiveagainst bedbugs in other parts of the world.
