Mel: The official salary for judges has always been too low to attract the best candidates to the job. The legislature‘s move to raise the salary has done nothing to improve the situation, because it was coupled with a ban on receiving money for lectures and teaching engagements.

Pat: No, the raise in salary really does improve the situation. Since very few judges teach or give lectures, the ban will have little or no negative effect.

Pat‘s response to Mel is inadequate in that it

Criminologist: Some legislators advocate mandating a sentence of life in prison for anyone who, having twice served

sentences for serious crimes, is subsequently convicted of a third serious crime. These legislators argue that such a policy would reduce crime dramatically, since it would take people with a proven tendency to commit crimes off the streets permanently. What this reasoning overlooks, however, is that people old enough to have served two prison sentences for serious crimes rarely commit more than one subsequent crime. Filling our prisons with such individuals would have exactly the opposite of the desired effect, since it would limit our ability to incarcerate younger criminals, who commit a far greater proportion of serious crimes.

D. The first is the main conclusion of the argument; the second is a prediction made on the basis of that conclusion. E. The first is a generalization about the likely effect of a policy under consideration in the argument; the second

In Kantovia, physicians‘ income comes from insurance companies, which require physicians to document their decisions in treating patients and to justify deviations from the companies‘ treatment guidelines.

Yet the average amount of time a patient spends with a physician during an office visit has actually increased somewhat over the last ten years.

Which of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy between physicians‘ perceptions and the change in the actual time spent?

A. Patients are more likely to be in a hurry nowadays and are less willing to wait a long time to see their physician. B. Physicians today typically have a wider range of options in diagnosis and treatment to consider with the patient before

prescribing. C. Physicians are increasingly likely to work in group practices, sharing the responsibility of night and weekend work. D. Most patients would rather trust their physicians than their insurance companies to make decisions about their treatment. E. Since the insurance companies pay physicians a set amount for each office visit, it is to physicians‘ financial advantage

to see as many patients as possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 19: GWD-23-Q1
