LOGICAL:
Laird: Pure research provides us with new technologies that contribute to
saving lives. Even more worthwhile than this, however, is its role in
expanding our knowledge and providing new, unexplored ideas.
Kim: Your priorities are mistaken. Saving lives is what counts most of all.
Without pure research, medicine would not be as advanced as it is.
A) Laird and Kim disagree on whether pure research
derives its significance in part from its providing new technologies
B) expands the boundaries of our knowledge of medicine

,C) should have the saving of human lives as an important goal
D) has its most valuable achievements in medical applications
E)has any value apart from its role in providing new technologies to save
lives - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Correct Answer: D
Difficulty Level: Medium
This question asks you to identify the point on which Laird and Kim
disagree with respect to pure research. Laird identifies two contributions of
pure research: its medical applications ("technologies that contribute to
saving lives") and its role in expanding knowledge and providing new ideas.
Of these, Laird considers the second contribution to be more worthwhile.
Kim, on the other hand, maintains that "Saving lives is what counts most of
all." Since pure research saves lives through medical applications, Kim
disagrees with Laird about whether pure research has its most valuable

,achievements in medical applications. The correct response, therefore, is
(D).
Response (A) is incorrect since we can determine, based on their
statements, that Laird and Kim agree that pure research "derives its
significance in part from its providing new technologies." Laird explicitly
cites the value of pure research with respect to providing new technologies.
Kim indicates agreement with (A), at least in the case of medical
technologies, by asserting that "Without pure research, medicine would not
be as advanced as it is."
Response (B) is incorrect since we can determine, based on their
statements, that Laird and Kim would likely agree that pure research
"expands the boundaries of our knowledge of medicine." Laird notes that
pure research provides us with new technologies that have medical
applications. Kim points out that "Without pure research, medicine would
not be as advanced as it is."

, Response (C) is incorrect. Kim indicates agreement that pure research
"should have the saving of human lives as an important goal" since Kim's
position is that "Saving lives is what counts most of all." Since Laird cites
the saving of lives as one way in which pure research is worthwhile or
valuable, Laird
LOGICAL:
Executive: We recently ran a set of advertisements in the print version of a
travel magazine and on that magazine's website. We were unable to get
any direct information about consumer response to the print ads. However,
we found that consumer response to the ads on the website was much
more limited than is typical for website ads. We concluded that consumer
response to the print ads was probably below par as well.
The executive's reasoning does which one of the following?
A) bases a prediction of the intensity of a phenomenon on information
about the intensity of that phenomenon's cause
