If this process is taking longer than you'd like, that's understandable. However, keep in mind that these are all necessary steps—that is, if we were to shortchange any part of this process, we would have to answer questions with an incomplete understanding. So, we encourage you to keep at it. We're confident that it is through this process that you can best develop an effective approach that will lead to quicker and more accurate answers.
DRILL IT: Principle Support Questions
Give yourself no more than 11 minutes to complete the following problems.
1. PT11, S2, Q10
The labeling of otherwise high-calorie foods as “sugarfree,” based on the replacement of all sugar by artificial sweeteners, should be prohibited by law. Such a prohibition is indicated because many consumers who need to lose weight will interpret the label “sugarfree” as synonymous with “low in calories” and harm themselves by building weight-loss diets around foods labeled “sugarfree.” Manufacturers of sugarfree foods are well aware of this tendency on the part of consumers.
Which one of the following principles, if established, most helps to justify the conclusion in the passage?
(A) Product labels that are literally incorrect should be prohibited by law, even if reliance on those labels is not likely to cause harm to consumers.
(B) Product labels that are literally incorrect, but in such an obvious manner that no rational consumer would rely on them, should nevertheless be prohibited by law.
(C) Product labels that are literally correct but cannot be interpreted by the average buyer of the product without expert help should be prohibited by law.
(D) Product labels that are literally correct but will predictably be misinterpreted by some buyers of the product to their own harm should be prohibited by law.
(E) Product labels that are literally correct, but only on one of two equally accurate interpretations, should be prohibited by law if buyers tend to interpret the label in the way that does not match the product's actual properties.
2. PT11, S2, Q6
Cigarette smoking has been shown to be a health hazard; therefore, governments should ban all advertisements that promote smoking.
Which one of the following principles, if established, most strongly supports the argument?
(A) Advertisements should not be allowed to show people doing things that endanger their health.
(B) Advertisers should not make misleading claims about the healthfulness of their products.
(C) Advertisements should disclose the health hazards associated with the products they promote.
(D) All products should conform to strict government health and safety standards.
(E) Advertisements should promote only healthful products.
3. PT33, S3, Q6
The recent cleaning of frescoes in the Sistine Chapel has raised important aesthetic issues. Art historians are now acutely aware that the colors of the works they study may differ from the works’ original colors. Art historians have concluded from this that interpretations of the frescoes that seemed appropriate before the frescoes’ restoration may no longer be appropriate.
Which one of the following principles, if valid, most helps to justify the art historians’ reasoning?
(A) The appropriateness of an interpretation of an artwork is relative to the general history of the period in which the interpretation is made.
