A major impediment to wide acceptance of electric vehicles even on the part of people who u their cars almost exclusively for commuting is the inability to u electric vehicles for occasional extended trips.In an attempt to make purchasing electric vehicles more attractive to commuters, one electric vehicle producer is planning to offer customers three days free rental of a conventional car for every1,000miles that they drive their electric vehicle.
Which of the following,if true,most threatens the plan's prospects for success?
(A)Many electric vehicles that are ud for commercial purpos are not needed for extended trips.
(B)Becau a majority of commuters drive at least100miles a week,the cost to the producer of making good the offer would add considerably to the already high price of electric vehicles.
(C)The relatively long time it takes to recharge the battery of an electric vehicle can easily be fitted into the regular patterns of car u characteristic of commuters.
(D)Although electric vehicles are esntially emission-free in actual u,generating the electricity necessary for charging an electric vehicle's battery can burden the environment.
(E)Some family vehicles are ud primarily not for commuting but for making short local trips, such as to do errands.

In a new book about the antiparty feeling of the early political leaders of the United States,Ralph Ketcham argues that the first six Presidents differed decisively from later Presidents becau the first six held values inherited from the classical humanist tradition of eighteenth-century England. In this view,government was designed not to satisfy the private desires of the people but to make them better citizens;this tradition stresd the disinterested devotion of political leaders to the public good.Justice,wisdom,and courage were more important qualities in a leader than
the ability to organize voters and win elections.Indeed,leaders were suppod to be called to office rather than to run for office.And if they took up the burdens of public office with a n
of duty,leaders also believed that such offices were naturally their due becau of their social preeminence or their contributions to the country.Given this classical conception of leadership,it is not surprising that the first six Presidents condemned political parties.Parties were partial by
definition,lf-interested,and therefore rving something other than the transcendent public good.
Even during the first presidency(Washington's),however,the classical conception of virtuous leadership was being undermined by commercial forces that had been gathering since at least the beginning of the eighteenth century.Commerce--its profit-making,its lf-interestedness,its individualism--became the enemy of the classical ideals.Although Ketcham does not picture the struggle in quite this way,he does rightly e Jackson's tenure(the venth presidency)as the culmination of the acceptance of party,commerce,and individualism.For the Jacksonians, nonpartisanship lost its relevance,and under the direction of Van Buren,party gained a new legitimacy.The classical ideals of the first six Presidents became identified with a privileged aristocracy,an aristocracy that had to be overcome in order to allow competition between opposing political interests.Ketcham is so strongly committed to justifying the classical ideals, however,that he underestimates the advantages of their decline.For example,the classical conception of leadership was incompatible with our modern notion of the freedoms of speech and press,freedoms intimately a
ssociated with the legitimacy of opposing political parties.

Conventional wisdom has it that large deficits in the United States budget cau interest rates to ri.Two main arguments are given for this claim.According to the first,as the deficit increas, the government will borrow more to make up for the ensuing shortage of funds.Conquently,it is argued,if both the total supply of credit(money available for borrowing)and the amount of credit sought by nongovernment borrowers remain relatively stable,as is often suppod,then
the price of credit(the interest rate)will increa.That this is so is suggested by the basic economic principle that if supplies of a commodity(here,credit)remain fixed and demand for
that commodity increas,its price will also increa.The cond argument suppos that the government will tend to finance its deficits by increasing the money supply with insufficient幼儿疝气
regard for whether there is enough room for economic growth to enable such an increa to occur without causing inflation.It is then argued that financiers will expect the deficit to cau inflation and will rai interest rates,anticipating that becau of inflation the money they lend
will be worth less when paid back.
Unfortunately for the first argument,it is unreasonable to assume that nongovernment borrowing and the supply of credit will remain relatively stable.Nongovernment borrowing sometimes decreas.When it does,incread government borrowing will not necessarily push up the total demand for credit.Alternatively,when credit availability increas,for example through greater foreign lending to the United States,then interest rates need not ri,even if both private and government borrowing increa.
The cond argument is also problematic.Financing the deficit by increasing the money supply should cau inflation only when there is not enough room for economic growth.Currently,
there is no reason to expect deficits to cau inflation.However,since many financiers believe that deficits ordinarily create inflation,then admittedly they will be inclined to rai interest rates to offt mistakenly anticipated inflation.This effect,however,is due to ignorance,not to the deficit itlf,and could be lesned by educating financiers on this issue.
Q10.p1-rc Question#33.154-01(22788-!-item-!-188;#058&000154-01)
Which of the following best summarizes the central idea of the passage?
(A)A decrea in nongovernment borrowing or an increa in the availability of credit can eliminate or lesn the ill effects of incread borrowing by the government.
(B)Educating financiers about the true relationship between large federal deficits and high interest rates will make financiers less prone to rai interest rates in respon to deficits.
(C)There is little support for the widely held belief that large federal deficits will create higher interest rates,as the main arguments given to defend this claim are flawed.
(D)When the government borrows money,demand for credit increas,typically creating higher interest rates unless special conditions such as decread consumer spending ari.
(E)Given that most financiers believe in a cau-and-effect relationship between large deficits and high interest rates,it should be expected that financiers will rai interest rates.

Archaeologists in Michigan have excavated a Native American camp near Dumaw Creek. Radiocarbon dating of animal bones found at the site indicates that the camp dates from some time between1605and1755.However,the camp probably dates to no later than1630,since no European trade goods were found at the site,and European traders were active in the region from the1620's onward.
Which of the following,if true,most strengthens the argument?
(A)Due to trade among Native Americans,some European trade goods would have reached the area before the European traders themlves did.
(B)At all camps in the region that have been reliably dated to the late1620's,remains of European trade goods have been found.
(C)The first European trade goods to reach the area would have been considered especially valuable and prerved as much as possible from loss or destruction.
(D)The first European traders in the area followed soon after the first European explorers.
(E)The site is that of a temporary camp that would have been ud asonally for a few years and then abandoned.
