- Question
Walk into any supermarket or pharmacy and you will find several shelves of products designed to protect adults and children from the sun. Additionally, a host of public health campaigns have been created, including National Skin Cancer Awareness Month, that warn us about the sun's damaging UV rays and provide guidelines about protecting ourselves. While warnings about the sun's dangers are frequent, a recent survey found that fewer than half of all adults adequately protect themselves from the sun.
This paragraph best supports the statement that
Options- A. children are better protected from the sun's dangerous rays than adults
- B. sales of sun protection products are at an all-time high.
- C. adults are not heeding the warnings about the dangers of sun exposure seriously enough.
- D. more adults have skin cancer now than ever before
- E. there is not enough information disseminated about the dangers of sun exposure.
- Correct Answer
- adults are not heeding the warnings about the dangers of sun exposure seriously enough.
ExplanationThe last sentence gives direct support for this response. Although children might be better protected from the sun than adults, the paragraph does not specifically cite statistics about children, so we can't know for sure, ruling out choice a. There is no evidence provided in the paragraph to support choices b and d. Choice e is incorrect since the last sentence tells us that warnings about the sun's dangers are frequent. - 1. domicile

More questions
Correct Answer: dwelling
Explanation:
A domicile is a legal residence, so dwelling is the essential component for this item. You do not need a tenant (choice a) in the domicile, nor do you need a kitchen (choice c). A house (choice d) is just one form of a domicile (which could also be a tent, hogan, van, camper, motor home, apartment, dormitory, etc.).

Correct Answer: 3.6
Explanation:
In this simple subtraction series, each number decreases by 0.4.
Correct Answer: Either I or II is implicit
Explanation:
Clearly, the statement is made to eliminate the fear of the people that the elections may not be held at all or they may not be held after five years. So, either I or II is implicit.
Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Explanation:
Since one premise is particular, the conclusion must be particular and should not contain the middle term. Thus, only II follows.
Correct Answer: report card
Explanation:
The objects above the line are all things used by an artist. The objects below the line are all things used by a teacher.
Correct Answer: Only assumption II is implicit
Explanation:
Clearly, nothing is mentioned about the professional nature of the job. So, I is not implicit. The statement hints that one rejects a thing that is easy to achieve. So, II is implicit.
Correct Answer: teachers
Explanation:
A faculty consists of a group of teachers and cannot exist without them. The faculty may work in buildings (choice a), but the buildings aren't essential. They may use textbooks (choice b) and attend meetings (choice d), but these aren't essential either.
Correct Answer: None is implicit
Explanation:
Since the wait-listed candidates have been admitted, so I is not implicit. Also, nothing about the number of candidates on the waiting list or the number to be admitted can be deduced from the statement. So, neither II nor III is implicit.
Correct Answer: Both I and II follow
Explanation:
The use of the term 'milk glut' makes I implicit. Also, the fact that the cooperatives and Government dairies failed to use the available milk indicates that they lack the proper infrastructure to handle such quantities of milk. So, II also follows.
