This question asks you to identify the point on which Laird and Kim disagree
with respect to pure research. Laird identifies two contributions of pure
research: its medical applications ("technologies that contribute to saving
lives") and its role in expanding knowledge and providing new ideas. Of
these, Laird considers the second contribution to be more worthwhile. Kim,
on the other hand, maintains that "Saving lives is what counts most of all."
Since pure research saves lives through medical applications, Kim disagrees
with Laird about whether pure research has its most valuable achievements
in medical applications. The correct response, therefore, is (D).
Response (A) is incorrect since we can determine, based on their
statements, that Laird and Kim agree that pure research "derives its
significance in part from its providing new technologies." Laird explicitly
cites the value of pure research with respect to providing new technologies.
Kim indicates agreement with (A), at least in the case of medical
technologies, by asserting that "Without pure research, medicine would not
be as advanced as it is."
Response (B) is incorrect since we can determine, based on their
statements, that Laird and Kim would likely agree that pure research
"expands the boundaries of our knowledge of medicine." Laird notes that
pure research provides us with new technologies that have medical
applications. Kim points out that "Without pure research, medicine would
not be as advanced as it is."
Response (C) is incorrect. Kim indicates agreement that pure research
"should have the saving of human lives as an important goal" since Kim's
position is that "Saving lives is what counts most of all." Since Laird cites
the saving of lives as one way in which pure research is worthwhile or
valuable, Laird

Executive: We recently ran a set of advertisements in the print version of a
travel magazine and on that magazine's website. We were unable to get
any direct information about consumer response to the print ads. However,
we found that consumer response to the ads on the website was much more
limited than is typical for website ads. We concluded that consumer
response to the print ads was probably below par as well.
The executive's reasoning does which one of the following?
A) bases a prediction of the intensity of a phenomenon on information about
the intensity of that phenomenon's cause
B) uses information about the typical frequency of events of a general kind
to draw a conclusion about the probability of a particular event of that kind
C) infers a statistical generalization from claims about a large number of
specific instances
D) uses a case in which direct evidence is available to draw a conclusio
ANS✔✔ Correct Answer: D
Difficulty Level: Easy
This question asks you to identify how the executive's reasoning proceeds.
The ads discussed by the executive appeared in two places—in a magazine
and on the magazine's website. Some information is available concerning
the effect of the website ads on consumers, but no consumer response
information is available about the print ads. The executive's remarks
suggest that the ads that appeared in print and on the website were
