For some questions, more than one of the choices could conceivably answer the question. However, you are to choose the best answer; that is, the response that most accurately and completely answers the question. You should not make assumptions that are by commonsense standards implausible, superfluous, or incompatible with the passage. After you have chosen the best answer, blacken the corresponding space on your answer sheet. 1. Commentator: Although the present freshwater supply is adequate for today’s patterns of water use, the human population will increase substantially over the next few decades, drastically increasing the need for freshwater. Hence, restrictions on water use will be necessary to meet the freshwater needs of humankind in the not-too-distant future. Which one of the following is an assumption required by the argument? (A) Humans will adapt to restrictions on the use of water without resorting to wasteful use of other natural resources. (B) The total supply of freshwater has not diminished in recent years. (C) The freshwater supply will not increase sufficiently to meet the increased needs of humankind. (D) No attempt to synthesize water will have an appreciable effect on the quantity of freshwater available. (E) No water conservation measure previously attempted yielded an increase in the supply of freshwater available for human use. 2. Psychologist: The best way to recall a certain word or name that one is having trouble remembering is to occupy one’s mind with other things, since often the more we strive to remember a certain word or name that we can’t think of, the less likely it becomes that the word will come to mind. The principle that underlies the psychologist’s argument underlies which one of the following arguments? (A) Often, the best way to achieve happiness is to pursue other things besides wealth and fame, for there are wealthy and famous people who are not particularly happy, which suggests that true happiness does not consist in wealth and fame. (B) The best way to succeed in writing a long document is not to think about how much is left to write but only about the current paragraph, since on many occasions thinking about what remains to be done will be so discouraging that the writer will be tempted to abandon the project. (C) The best way to overcome a serious mistake is to continue on confidently as though all is well. After all, one can overcome a serious mistake by succeeding in new challenges, and dwelling on one’s errors usually distracts one’s mind from new challenges. (D) The best way to fall aslee
