line 47, "However, the pressure on manufacturing workers in the United States to work more efficiently has generally been overstated."The question is asking what is the effect of foreign competition on manufacturing sector per se and not on its workers.The last line of the first paragraph says that it has slowed the growth in demand for products manufactured in US.Answer is D IMO.  SpidermanGMAT Tutor Joined: 01 May 2005Posts: 841Gender: Not SpecifiedPosted: 17 October 2005 at 4:29am | IP Loggedyes.For 34, it should be D.Cheers  pmachineni700 ClubJoined: 29 June 2005Posts: 256Gender: Not SpecifiedPosted: 22 October 2005 at 11:32pm | IP LoggedSet 15, Verbal 8, the stem says:"Newtown does not face a teacher shortage in the late 1990's"So we need to find a choice that supports the above statement (late 90's).E says, there were more applicants in 1993, based on which would not be able to predict the scenario in the late 90's.But if we consider A, which says public school students donot graduate from high school, the number of students is bound to decline by late 90's therefore supports the statement that there will be no teacher shortage. So I think it should be A.  archangel88GMAT Tutor Joined: 14 July 2005Posts: 2804Gender: Not SpecifiedPosted: 23 October 2005 at 12:21am | IP LoggedE says there were far more applicants than there were available teaching positions.Plenty of applicants to choose from should mean plenty of teachers and no teacher shortage.In A, just because a lot of public school students do not graduate does not mean that these students are not in school and do not need teachers.I stand by E.__________________AA  kgKid700 ClubJoined: 15 August 2005Posts: 86Gender: Not SpecifiedPosted: 31 October 2005 at 10:35am | IP LoggedSet 10 - Q 19Although you got the right answer arch but i guess you missed the word "NOT".Your explaination is off-track on that.__________________I came, I saw, I hit it (GMAT) right there in the jaw - Get Back by Ludacris  archangel88GMAT Tutor Joined: 14 July 2005Posts: 2804Gender: Not SpecifiedPosted: 31 October 2005 at 8:37pm | IP LoggedQ19:In Kravonia, the average salary for jobs requiring a college degree has always been higher than the average salary for jobs that do not require a degree.Current enrollments in Kravonia's colleges indicate that over the next four years the percentage of the Kravonian workforce with college degrees will increase dramatically.Therefore, the average salary for all workers in Kravonia is likely to increase over the next four years. Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends? A.Kravonians with more than one college degree earn more, on average, than do Kravonians with only one college degree.B.The percentage of Kravonians who attend college in order to earn higher salaries is higher now than it was several years ago.C.The higher average salary for jobs requiring a college degree is not due largely to a scarcity among the Kravonian workforce of people with a college degree.D.The average salary in Kravonia for jobs that do not require a college degree will not increase over the next four years.E.Few members of the Kravonian workforce earned their degrees in other countries. ANSWER:  C  Here is the argument re-written with C included as a premise.This clearly strengthens the argument, making it a critical assumption of the argument. In Kravonia, the average salary for jobs requiring a college degree has always been higher than the average salary for jobs that do not require a degree.And as we all know, the higher average salary for jobs requiring a college degree is not due to scarcity among the Kravonian workforce of people with a college degree.Rather the difference in salary is purely due to the increased skills and abilities that result from obtaining a college degree.Current enrollments in Kravonia's colleges indicate that over the next four years the percentage of the Kravonian workforce with college degrees will increase dramatically.Therefore, the average salary for all workers in Kravonia is likely to increase over the next four years [ Pobierz caÅ‚ość w formacie PDF ]
