GMAT/Critical Thinking
During New York City's fiscal crisis of the late 1970's, governmental leaders debated whether to offer federal assistance to New York City. One economist who opposed the suggestion asked, "Are we supposed to help out New York City every time it gets into financial problems?"
The economist's question can be criticized because it
A) uses ambiguous terms
B) assumes everyone else agrees New York City should be helped
C) appeals to emotions rather than using logic
D) relies on second-hand reports rather than first-hand accounts
E) completely ignores the issue at hand

Since all swans that I have encountered have been white, it follows that the
swans I
will see when I visit the Bronx Zoo will also be white.
Which of the following most closely parallels the reasoning of the preceding
argument?
A) Some birds are incapable of 'flight; therefore, swans are probably incapable
of flight.
B) Every ballet I have attended has failed to interest me; so a theatrical
production that fails to interest me must be a ballet.
C) Since all cases of severe depression I have encountered were susceptible to
treatment by chlorpromazine, there must be something in the chlorpromazine that
adjusts the patient's brain chemistry.
D) Because every society has a word for justice, the concept of fair play must
be inherent in the biological makeup of the human species.
E) Since no medicine I have tried for my allergy has ever helped, this new
product will probably not work either.
