7. A large number of famous poets in literary history have died under the age of 40 --- Burns, Byron, Keats, Poe, and Shelley, to name a few.

1. For years, most of the jobs for the public park grounds crew in the city of Hamport have been minimum wage positions. Rents in Hamport have been steadily rising over the past decade, and housing advocates have argued that that employees earning minimum wage salaries who rent in Hamport would experience tremendous economic strain. Under pressure from these housing advocates, the city council of Hamport agreed to a dollar an hour raise for the public park grounds crew. When the city council member met with the grounds crew to announce this raise, the grounds crew as a group rejected the offer, but this is not surprising, because ____________________.
Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
bus drivers and transportation workers in Hamport, whose
unions negotiates directly with the city council, recently received a two
dollar raise.
the increased annual salary would
mean the grounds crew would no longer be eligible for the county’s low-income
medical plan.
most of the public park grounds crew live in nearby Dudley,
where rents are cheaper, and commute to Hamport.
last month, two members of the city council spoke out
against poor condition of Hamport’s public parks, for which the grounds crew is
responsible.
many members of the grounds crew resent the new homeless
shelter, in the corner of the largest public park, that the housing advocates
sponsored.

4. A study of young children's ability to learn foreign languages found that those with parents who read them more than one book per week in their native language were 75% more proficient in the foreign languages that they learned than children whose parents read them one book per week or less. A secondary finding of the study was that children's ability to remember new vocabulary in a second language drops off sharply after the age of 6, when it becomes 75% more difficult to retain new words learned in the second language.
Assuming the statements above are true, which of the following can be inferred from them?
The ease of learning a second language depends almost
exclusively on environmental factors.
A student whose parents only read one book a week to her
only has a 25% chance of mastering a foreign language.
Students whose parents enter them in early education and who
read to them frequently are more likely to have extra income and more free
time.
Proficient speakers of a second language are likely to have
begun learning it before the age of 6.
Students who begin studying a
language later in life would have had an easier time learning some aspects of
that language if they had begun studying it as a young child.

5. When, on a particular shopping trip, a consumer purchases an item which he previously had no intention of purchasing, this sale is called an "impulse purchase." The objects of impulse purchases are occasionally essential items (i.e. items that satisfy basic subsistence needs), but much more frequently are luxury or non-essential items. Researchers have determined that, at the end of a shopping trip, a consumer is much more excited if she has bought a luxury item on an impulse purchase, than if she had made no impulse purchases.
If the information above is true, and if the researchers’ investigation was properly conducted, then which of the following must also be true?
The impulse purchase of luxury or non-essential item is more
exciting than the impulse purchase of an essential need.
A consumer who, for whatever reason, is not able to purchase
an item she had planned to buy is necessarily disappointed.
Consumers seeking a high level of excitement often make
impulse purchases.
The researchers had a reliable way
to determine whether the consumer had planned to buy the luxury or
non-essential item he purchased on that trip.
The probability that a consumer makes an impulse purchase of
an item decreases as the price of the item increases.
