PART 1-C CRITICAL REASONING
---------------------------
D. Organising the home can be perceived as conferring power, so large numbers of women
are unwilling to let go of chores,even when they have careers.A survey found that,out of 65 new marriages,not one single wife expected her husband to share work equally.According
to the Family Policy Studies Centre, 81% of working wives return home to do all the cooking.
The average male has nearly half as much more tree time at weekends than his wife and the typical new father spends just 37 seconds a day talking to his baby .

13. Most working wives not expect their husbands to share chores equally
14.The average wife gas hall as much free time at weekands all her .
15. Some women collude in the unequal distribution of household work because life want
to retain control.
16. 39% of all men with working do the cooking and all the cleaning.

E. Confucus sad that to know the future we have to understand the past. In his time transport communications and scentific knowleage were less developed
are today. news took weeks to travel whereas today safelite links conned the con
virtually instantaneouslly, but our techological advances in the field of communication
seem not to have improved our capacity to understand one another.

17. In Confucius day people were more intelligent.
18. We understand each other better now than in Confucius time because we can travemore quckly.
19. We have made great improvements in transport since Confucius day.
20. none of our scientific discovenes has really improved our lives.

F. Words in totararian systems have an unhealthy importance and in such states now attempting to return to a more democratic normally there has been a natural inevitable and healthy devaluation of words. Whereas previously a single word used in a speed or even a play or poem, could be a serious pollitical event now the words come cheaper almost free politics is polities is polities again and poetry only poetry.

21. totalitanan states devallue words.
22. Only non-totalitarian regines produce poetry of political importance
23 Writers under totalitanan regines have to choose then words carefully
24 The democratic political system is healthier than any other

G. Statistics show that millions of vehicles have been carried by shuttle over the past 30 year
through Allpine tunnels without one ever calclung lire. In the alpine tunnels driver and passengers sit in their vehicles on the shuttle trains. Only one vehicle has ever caught fire on the
busy French motorail equivalent system this sort of accient is not possible in a closed shuttle.
Assertions that a vehicle will lead to calastrophe have no basis. Since the resources exist to derect control and extinguish a lire and to remove any persons present safety to an adjoining wagon, leaving any surviving lire facing rapid extinction within a wagon built to contain lire for 30 minutes. Calastrophe seems very unlikely.

26. If a car caught fire in a rail shuttle probably none would be killed
at least one vehicle has caught lire in an alpine tunnel.
27. if a lire staarted in a wagon it would be allowed to burn itself out in 30 minutes.
28, it would thoretically be possible for a car to catch lire in a closed shuttle system.

H. Every form of art is protected by copyright upon the experation of which the properly passes into the public domain and becomes freely available to anyone wishing to explan it commercially,
The time has come when all treasures should pass to the control of a trust, and by this be made relity available to anyone on payment of a fee or royality. The income from the words of lagore would alone be enormous. Those who now gain financial beeft from his genus should make some contribution to the welfare of the arts in general.

29. Tagore's plays are not protected by copyright.
30. Tagore's descendants should be asded to make some contribution to the art.
31. instead of of buying a ticket, theatregoers should pay a fee to a trust for the behefit of te arts.
32. More people could go to the theatre if copyright were abolished.

I. Hacking is a crime made possible by a relatively new technology, which is one of the reasons dis often poorly understood and reported. Many computers, but by no means all are now linked together in networds which allow users on one computer to communicate with others on the same network.If a computer is not networked, no manipulaton of its data from another machine is possible. So long as users are authorised networking is just a way of making work easier and more productive . Hacking on the other hand is the unauthorised use of networks or unauthorised entry into the computers themselves. Most people do not need to break into the networks use since they are already accedited users.

33. Most hackers are authorised to break into networks.
34. Computers are only vulnerable to the unauthrised manipulation of their data via another computer if they are networked.
35. the main reason why it is relatively easy to break into a computer is that few people understand the technology.
36. Hackeers do not work for the firms whose netorks they break into

J. Although invaders represent a threat to the conservation of flora and fauna, there are two special cases in which invasions has been deliberalely brought about, One is the desire to control
bests by natural predators. which mayhave to be brought in from other countries. The second
is releasing organisms into the wild (or on to larms from which they migt esscape) that are completely novel, because they have been genetically engineered. There is nothing ininnsically sinister about engineered organism, but any novelly must be regarded as a potential invader.
37. Pest control does not threaten the conservation of flora and fauna.
38. Genetically engineered organisms must always be regarded as potentially dangerous.

K1_Natural predatorn are mare harmful than bests.
K2_Genefically engineered organinms escaped from the farm, they will be pose a threat to wild life.

brectrones technology is coming to the rescue of heticopters. which can be grounded or crash in icy conditions. The machicnes are especially vulnerable to the build-up of ice on both their rotors and engine air intake when operating in cold, damo conditions. The problem is twofold; ice increased the weight and the build-up makes the aerofoils less efficient. Now at last a detector has been devised which the company hopes will mean safer flights and less frequest grounding. Unlike most devices in use at present it can detect the liquid water content of cloud
above freezing level . so the warning is given before the potential hazard is encountered.

39. An electronic device has been invented which will prevent the build up of ice on helicopter rotors.
40. Helicopters are sometimes grounded because in cold damp weather their engine air intakes and rotors maltunction owing to the formation of ice.
41. Only one device can at present detect the liquid water content of cloud above freezing level.
42. in future fewer helicopters will crasn ,or have to be grounded.

L. Anyone who has systematically examinen faces will have perceived a preponderance although not a proliteration of asymmetry. Whether or not the expression is volitional and self-controlled or spontaneous appears to predict facial aymmetry, as does the type of the
emotion portrayed. Positive emotord are usually displayed symmeincally although a left-sided representation of a negative emtion is mo;re common. Poseo expressions and negative emotions are less likely to be symmeincally represented, and where asymmetry occurs relative left-sided expressivenee is the more common.

43. An angry person os more likely to have a lopsided expression than someome who is smiling .
44. A deliberately assumed facial xpression will always be asymmetrical .
45. An actor is likely to smile symmetrically when acting.
46. more self-conscious people are likely is have less asymmetrical facial expressions than those who are less aware of themselves.

M. Human existence is not susceptible of arbitary division between consciousness and unconsciousess. The conscious world invades and shapes the activies of the unconscious while many of the great advevements of hunmanity 's waking hours were wholly or partly inspired by dreams. Evven if it could be argued that dreams precede expenence such a dichotomy could not be drawn, as the influence of dreaming on the walking state would remain unclear, but as yet no common vocabulary exists to record the substance of pcenatal dreaming.

47. Sleep can be a creative state.
48 It is difficult to tell whether a sleeper os dreaming or not.
49. If we knew what babres dream about they are bont, we could show that the conscious and unconscious mind influence one ano;ther.
50 . It is untrue to claim that the conscious and unconscious words never inpinge on one another.

PSYCHOMETRIC TEST.
