Made andincluded may look like complete verbs, but they're actually participle modifiers.

1. an observation about electric current (a) firstmade in 1845and (b) nowincluded in virtually every textbook of elementaryphysics ← Theobservation doesn't make anything. It gets "made". This tells us that we're dealing not with complete verbs but with participles (verbforms).

Made andincluded are both used as a shorter way to introduce a relative clause (a descriptive element often headed bythat ). These modifiers also don't carry a tense (which is a property of complete verbs) of their own. That is, with such modifiers, we don't have a sure way to know the tense of the verb being replaced. For example, depending on the context, "a phonemade by Apple" could be read as "a phone thatis made by Apple", or it could be read as "a phone thatwas made by Apple".[highlight] The important thing to remember here is thatmade , without a helping verb

Must Be True. The correct answer choice is(B)

Both a genetic profile and a brain’s functional magnetic resonance image, or fMRI, can contain a
patient’s private information. They are distinguishable, however: while a genetic profile requires a
label to be linked with a particular patient, an fMRI provides enough information about a person’s
skull to create an image of the person’s face—meaning that the patient could then be identified
based on the image alone (not requiring the type of labeling that would need to accompany a
genetic profile for such identification). This is a vital distinction, of course, in the context of private
information.

The stimulus is followed by a Must Be True question, which means that the right answer choice
will pass the Fact Test, and thus will be able to be confirmed by the information presented in the
stimulus.

Answer choice (A): Although the author points out that fMRIs can be linked to patients without
additional records or labels, this

Pre Thinking

1. Two reports are compared
2. As per the report the proportion of people committing crime has decreased by 22 %
3. It can be deduced that people have become more morally aware .

Assumption Crime rate is inversely related to moral awareness.

Options

A. Many acts have been criminalized- If assumption is true and proportion of people committing crime has increased - The statement reinforces the deduction
B. Irrelevant - Neither weakens nor strengthens the argument
C. Some people consider certain illegal acts as not being immoral - Directly attacks the assumption if crime does not signify moral awareness the whole argument losses its force
D Is remotely connected - modern methods have been implemented to control crime but there may or may not be other factors which are responsible for decrease in proportion of people committing the crime-more data is needed.
E. Irrelevant

"A study suggests that while the manufacturing industry contributes a whopping 40% of the total taxes collected by the national government, only 10% of the total subsidies, granted by the government, go to the manufacturing industry in the forms of lower cost of raw materials, fuel etc. This is when the manufacturing industry is second only to agriculture in generating employment and, is probably the main force behind establishing the nation as a major global economic power. Clearly, the subsidy structure in the nation is unfair and more must be done for passing the subsidies to the manufacturing industry."

Because the argument is a causal argument that assumes that only soot pollution causes cardiovascular diseases, any statement that states that there may be other possible causes for cardiovascular diseases will weaken the argument. Option C states that the city that has residents having diets much less likely to cause cardiovascular disease, meaning that the diets can also cause the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

This is a causal argument, hence to weaken the argument the premise needs to be weakened for which we have to prove that increasing the percentage of the cost of health insurance premiums may not be the only factor for the increase of profitability of the companies. Option E proves the same i.e., there may be more factors as well for the increase of profitability of the companies.
