1. The question contains six statements followed by four sets of combination of three.
a : x is a human being
b : y is x´s wife
c : Some women are islands
d : No man is an island
e : x is not an island
f : y is not an island
Choose the sets in which statements are logically related :
bde
abe
ade
cde

2.The supernova event of 1987 is interesting in that there is still no evidence of the neutron star that current theory says should have remained after a supernova of that size. This is in spite of the fact that many of the most sensitive instruments ever developed have searched for the tell-tale pulse of radiation that neutron stars emit. Thus, current theory is wrong in claiming that supernovas of a certain size always produce neutron stars.
Which one of the following, if true, strengthens the argument most ?
Most supernova remnants that astronomers have detected have a neutron star nearby
Sensitive astronomical instruments have detected neutron stars much farther away than the location of the 1987 supernova
The supernova of 1987 was the first that scientists were able to observe in progress
Several important features of the 1987 supernova are correctly predicted by the current theory

3.As a political system, democracy does not promote political freedom. There are historical examples of democracies that ultimately resulted in some of the most oppressive societies. Likewise, there have been enlightened despotisms and oligarchies that have provided a remarkable level of political freedom to their subjects.
The reasoning in the argument is flawed because it :
Confuses the conditions necessary for political freedom with the conditions sufficient to bring it about
Fails to consider that a substantial increase in the level of political freedom might cause a society to became more democratic
Overlooks the possibility that democracy promotes political freedom without being necessary or sufficient by itself to produce it.
Bases its historical case on a personal point of view

4.A statement is followed by three courses of action numbered I, II and III. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true. Decide which course of action logically follows for pursuing from the given options marked (A), (B), (C) and (D).
Statement :
If the faculty members also join the strike, there is going to be a serious problem.
Course of action :
I. The faculty members should be persuaded not to be on strike.
II. Those faculty members who join the strike should be suspended.
III. The management should not worry about such small things.
None follows
Only I follows
Only I and II follows
Only II and III follows
