DNo toy is building. All buildings are windows.Since the middle term ‘buildings’ is distributed twice and one premise is negative, the conclusion must be particular negative and should not contain the middle term.So, it follows that ‘Some windows are not toys’.Some tigers are toys. No toy is building.Since one premise is particular and the other premise is negative, the conclusion must be particular negative and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that ‘Some tigers are not buildings’.Q.5 China wants to avoid financial collapse of their economy. In order to do this, China must raise their gross national product rate by 33 percent. China’s economy is structured so that if the 33 percent increase in GNP is reached, then it is possible for a 50 percent GNP increase.Of the following statements listed below, which one must be true if is it to be believed that the above statements are also true?A) If China’s 50 percent increase in GNP is unattainable, then its economy will collapse. B) China’s GNP will not have a 50 percent increase if its economy falls. C) The economy of China will not fall if it can obtain an increased GNP of 50 percent. D) A 17 percent GNP increase will be unattainable if China continues to suffer national conflict.  Ans. A The passage states China must raise its GNP by 33% to avoid economic collapse; if 33% is reached, 50% is possible. If 50% is impossible, 33% was not reached; the economy will collapse. China’s economy will fall without GNP increase, not vice versa (B); and by 33%, not 50% (B), (C). National conflict is not mentioned; neither is 17% (D) or 71% GNP increase Passage  A charitable foundation awards grants in exactly four areas — medical services, theater arts, wildlife preservation, and youth services — each grant being in one of these areas. One or more grants are awarded in each of the four quarters of a calendar year. Additionally, over the course of a calendar year, the following must obtain:1) Grants are awarded in all four areas.2) No more than six grants are awarded.3) No grants in the same area are awarded in the same quarter or in consecutive quarters.4) Exactly two medical services grants are awarded.5) A wildlife preservation grant is awarded in the second quarter. Q.6 If a wildlife preservation grant and a youth services grant are awarded in the same quarter of a particular calendar year, then any of the following could be true that year EXCEPT:A) A medical services grant is awarded in the second quarter.B) A theater arts grant is awarded in the first quarter.C) A theater arts grant is awarded in the second quarter.D) A wildlife preservation grant is awarded in the fourth quarter. Ans. A ExplanationThis question deals with the awarding of grants during the quarters of a calendar year. As an aid in visualizing this problem, we can set up a simple table with columns representing the four quarters. Since the fifth condition in the passage states that “[a] wildlife preservation grant is awarded in the second quarter,” we know that all possible solutions for any question based on the passage must include a wildlife preservation grant awarded in the second quarter, which we can represent like this:1 2 3 4W The particular question here begins with the added supposition that “a wildlife preservation grant and a youth services grant are awarded in the same quarter of a particular calendar year.” One possible way this could be satisfied is to have a youth services grant awarded in the second quarter in addition to the wildlife grant awarded in that quarter:1 2 3 4W YAnother possibility would be to have a wildlife preservation grant and a youth services grant both being awarded in some quarter other than the second quarter. Given the condition that “[n]o grants in the same
