NEW QUESTION 107
On May 5th, 1997, the European edition of Business Tech Magazine led with Hoffman's cover story
"Internet Communities: How they're Shaping Electronic Commerce". This cover story highlights the extent to which the term virtual community has become almost synonymous with various forms of group-CMCs (computer mediated communication), including email-list forums, chat-systems such as IRC, web-based discussion areas and UseNet news-groups. There was no debate in the Business Tech Magazine article as to whether the group-CMC discussions are really 'communities', rather how community as opposed to content can be used to encourage people to return to a particular part of cyberspace for commercial gain.
In a similar vein, Simpson and Armstrong in "Internet Gain" argue that ignoring virtual communities would be a great loss of a marketing tool for businesses. They define virtual communities as computer mediated space where there is an integration of content and communication with an emphasis on member- generated content.
Not all virtual community commentators agree with the Spartan position taken by Hoffman. Rheingold, one of the prime popularizes of the term virtual community, provides us with a more emotive definition in his book The Virtual Community: Homesteading on the Electronic Frontier. According to Rheingold, "virtual communities are social aggregations that emerge from the Net when enough people carry on those public discussions long enough, with sufficient human feeling, to form webs of personal relationships in cyberspace". Rheingold's definition is extremely popular and has been quoted in many discussions about virtual communities. As discussed below, for social scientists, particularly sociologists, Rheingold's definition raises many issues, especially concerning the notion of community. This is because Rheingold argues via a variety of analogies from the real world such as homesteading that virtual communities are indeed new forms of "community". In fact, Rheingold implies that virtual communities are actually "a kind of ultimate flowering of community". Moreover, Rheingold maintains that whenever computer mediated communications technology becomes available; people inevitably create communities with it. Rheingold can thus be labeled as a technological determinist as he holds that there is a predictable relationship between technology and people's behavior.
The debate over the validity of Rheingold's position has raised doubts about the existence of virtual communities and the appropriate use of the term. Weinreich claims that the idea of virtual communities must be wrong because community is a collective of kinship networks that share a common geographic region, a common history, and a shared value system, usually rooted in a common religion. In other words, Weinreich rejects the existence of virtual communities because group-CMC discussions cannot possibly meet his definition. In Weinreich's view, anyone with even a basic knowledge of sociology understands that information exchange in no way constitutes a community The author says 'there was no debate in the Business Tech Magazine article' to emphasize which of the following points?
- A. It is not community but content that can be used to entice the public to go back to a commercial website
- B. There are various forms of group-CMCs, including email-list forums, chat-systems, web-based discussion areas and UseNet news-groups.
- C. It is not content but community that can be used to entice the public to go back to a commercial website
- D. It would be a great loss of a business-marketing tool if virtual communities were ignored.
- E. Business Tech Magazine had already assumed that group-CMCs are communities.

The passage discusses whether group-CMCs are communities. Business Tech Magazine does not debate this issue because it has already assumed that they are.
NEW QUESTION 108
A famous painter has recently won a lawsuit against a major food manufacturer for commissioning a graphic designer to design the packaging of its chocolate chip cookies in the painter's distinctive style. As a result of the lawsuit, manufacturers will stop asking graphic artists to copy distinctive painting styles.
Therefore, the cost of package design will rise because employing the services of known artists cost more than those of graphic designer that imitate their style.
The conclusion above is based on which of the following assumptions?
- A. Manufacturers will use well-known painting styles in their packaging.
- B. Packaging using a famous painter's style usually sell better than packaging using the artistry of imitators.
- C. The original version of some well-knows paintings are unavailable for use in packaging.
- D. Most people are unable to distinguish a famous artist's illustration from that of a good graphic artist imitating the painter's style.
- E. Manufacturers will continue to use graphic artists to imitate the artistic style of famous painters.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The best answer is B.
If choice E were not assumed, the costs of the services of the famous painters would not be said to affect packaging costs. Since packaging costs are, however, projected to rise because of the relatively high cost of famous painters' services, choice E is assumed and is the best answer.

Explanation:
Errors is a plural noun, so it should be modified by fewer, not less. Thus, choices a, b, and e are incorrect.
Choice e also reverses the word order, placing the modifier less after the noun. Choice d is incorrect because it is less concise than choice c and the placement of 20% to 30% in parenthesis is slightly awkward and less direct than in choice c.
NEW QUESTION 113
Anuj wants to lose about 15 pounds. He knows several people who have lost 10 to 20 pounds in just one month with a particular over-the-counter diet pill. Anuj plans to buy the diet pill in order to lose 15 pounds in the same time period. Based on the previous information, for Anuj's plan to succeed, which of the following must be true?
- A. Anuj must avoid certain foods that may counteract the effectiveness of the pill.
- B. Anuj must adjust his diet to include more protein and fewer carbohydrates.
- C. Anuj must monitor his weight loss very carefully.
- D. Anuj's body type, exercise regimen, and diet must be similar to those of the people who lost 15 pounds with the pill.
- E. Anuj must take the diet pill at the same time every day.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Anuj's plan of action is based on the assumption that he will have the same success with the diet pill as his acquaintances. In order for this to be true, however, a must also be true - he must have a similar body type, exercise regimen, and diet. If, for example, he does not exercise but those people who lost weight with the pill did, he might not have the same results. Anuj may have to avoid certain foods (choice b) or take the pill at the same time each day (choice c) in order for it to be most effective, but these assumptions do not underlie his belief that he will have the same results as the others. Choice d is incorrect because the passage does not state what sort of diet the others had, and again this plan of action rests upon the assumption that he will have similar results. Anuj should probably monitor his weight loss carefully (choice e), but this is just common sense and not relevant to his plan of action.

- A. Although on the one hand it is true that the lack of computer-related skills accounts for and explains many of the problems in today's job market, there is meanwhile a lack of skilled labor in many different fields.
- B. While the lack of computer-related skills accounts for many of the problems in today's job market, many different fields are also experiencing a shortage of skilled labor.
- C. A lack of skilled labor affects all fields, not just computer-related, the problems in today's job market shows.
- D. Lacking computer-related skills, today's job market has many problems, and other fields also lack skilled labor.
- E. While the lack of computer-related skills accounts for many of the problems in today's job market, the lack of skilled labor is evident in many different fields.
Answer: B
Explanation:

Explanation:
Choice a is wordy and redundant. Choice b is correct, but it is less effective than choice d because the word choice and sentence structure are less sophisticated. Choice c has an error in subject-verb agreement (problems . . . shows) and has awkward word order. Choice e has a misplaced modifier; because of its placement, lacking computer-related skills modifies today's job market.

Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the conclusion drawn above?
- A. Many types of wild mushrooms are found only in forests and cannot easily be grown elsewhere.
- B. Chanterelles grow not only beneath Douglas firs but also beneath other host trees.
- C. The harvesting of wild mushrooms stimulates future growth of those mushrooms.
- D. Young Douglas fir seedlings die without the nutrients and water provided by chanterelle filaments

NEW QUESTION 119
Until the Apollo astronauts brought samples of lunar material to Earth during 1966-72, scientists believed that the Moon's surface was largely undisturbed, given its dry, airless environment. Examination of the samples has shown otherwise. Micrometeorites, many smaller than a pencil point, constantly rain onto the Moon at up to
100,000 kilometers per hour, chipping materials or forming microscopic craters. Some melt the soil and vaporize and recondense as glassy coats on other specks of dust. Impacts weld debris into lumps of heterogeneous matter called "agglutinates." Complicated interactions with solar particle streams convert iron into myriads of microscopic iron grains. The regdith-pebbles, sand, and dust-from these erosion processes blankets the Moon. Much of the top layer consists of a complex abrasive dust of microscopic glass shards that can grind machinery and sealing devices and damage human lungs.
The Apollo specimens held by the United States are doled out in ultra-small samples to scientists who demonstrate that nothing else will suffice for high-value experiments. Renewed interest In lunar exploration in the late 1980s meant that materials designed to simulate lunar regolith-simulants-were needed for research to develop schemes for lunar building and procedures for extracting elements such as oxygen found abundantly in regolith. That led to the development of JSC-1 in 1993, made of volcanic cinder cone from a quarry in Arizona in the U.S. The more than 22 metric tons made was in high demand. Efforts are now afoot to manufacture 16 metric tons of JSC-1 A, with 1 ton of fine grains, 14 tons of moderately fine, and 1 ton of coarse.
Which of the following can most reasonably be inferred from the passage?
- A. The micrometeorites bombarding the lunar surface pose no risk to humans exploring the Moon.
- B. Metal structures built on the Moon will be susceptible to rust.
- C. It will probably be scientifically possible to generate on the Moon supplies of air for future lunar explorers.
- D. Future human lunar explorers will probably have to have water transported to the moon for their use.
- E. Lunar regolith is unlikely to provide any of the raw materials for construction of permanent buildings on the Moon.

Which of the following is the most likely reason that the author mentions the work o* the astronomers in 1998 (see highlighted text)?
- A. To help explain why scientists felt it necessary to archive the Hubble images of HR8799
- B. To emphasize mistakes researchers made in 1998 when examining the Hubble images of HR 8799
- C. To counter the common view among astronomers in 1998 that no planets orbited around HR 8799
- D. To highlight the potential value that the new technique could have for Researchers
- E. To show that Earth based telescopes are generally more accurate than is the Hubble telescope
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
Previously unknown extrasolar planets-planets outside our solar system- probably await discovery In archival images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. A new technique allows astronomers to model the amount and distribution of scattered light produced by young stars suspected of spawning planets and remove that light from images of those stars. Once the glare of the parent stars' light is removed, planets may show up In Images already taken by Hubble's infrared cameras, since heat emitted by planets produces telltale wavelengths of infrared light.
In 2008, astronomers using powerful Earth-based telescopes were able to detect three planets orbiting the star HR 8799 that were not previously detected by astronomers who examined infrared Hubble images of the star in 1998. David Lafrentere-a member of the team of astronomers who detected the planets in 2006 -then applied the new technique to those Hubble images and managed to uncover the outermost of the three planets.
The others, tying closer to the star, still could not be distinguished against the background of the star's light.
Lafrenifre's work has helped reaffirm the importance of maintaining long-term archives, and-because Hubble's infrared cameras record some wavelengths of light that cannot penetrate through the atmosphere to reach Earth's surface-revealed new information about the outermost of HR 8799's planets.
