[QUOTE=victoria;621693]can we go through ISSB tests also?[/QUOTE]
victoria,i think that will come in handy to us for logical reasoning as well as diagramatical section.

[QUOTE=J Hussain;621661]I don't think they are going to test people at GAT level mathematics. SSC level Maths is going to be assessed. Can't understand why people have made screening test a nightmare.[/QUOTE]

Dear, even in GAT and most of other NTS Tests math is of Basic level known as BASIC ARITHMETIC (SSC level). Whenever there is the word "Basic Arithmetic" is used, it obviously means its level is not higher than that of SSC.
Still some people need to consume a lot of time in preparation even for the SSC level.

[B]Logical reasoning [/B]

1. Many environmentalists rank global warming as the most serious current threat to the world's environment, citing evidence that over the past 30 years, the global temperature has risen an average of 2 degrees. However, the average global temperature this year is equal to the average global temperature of last year. Global warming, therefore, is not as serious a problem as these environmentalists claim.

The argument is most vulnerable to the criticism that it

(A) Argues that because a threat is present, that threat must be more serious than any other possible threat.
(B) Concludes that because there is lack of evidence for a problem, that problem does not exist.
(C) Attempts to refute a conclusion about a general trend by appealing to a single counterexample, even though such a counterexample may be consistent with the general trend.
(D) Relies on the ambiguous use of a key term.
(E) Presupposes what is seeks to establish.



2. Independent tests have confirmed that, on average, the antilock brakes found on Griffon min-vans outperform those of any other mini-van. Thus, any consumer who is purchasing a mini-van based solely on the criteria of safety should purchase a Griffon mini-van.

Which one of the following statements, if true, most weakens the argument?

(A) Mini-vans are less safe than some other types of automobiles.
(B) Most consumers purchase cars based on multiple criteria in addition to safety.
(C) During the test, the brakes on some Phoenix mini-vans outperformed those on some Griffon mini-vans.
(D) The brakes on Griffon mini-vans are simple to use and maintain.
(E) The Phoenix mini-vans achieved a better frontal crash-test rating than the Griffon mini-vans.



3. Any person who uses words ambiguously cannot become a journalist, since journalistic reporting cannot invite artistic interpretation.

Which of the following, if assumed, would allow the conclusion above to be properly drawn?

(A) No person who invites artistic interpretation can use words ambiguously.
(B) Any person who uses words ambiguously will invite artistic interpretation in their reporting.
(C) Any journalist who invites artistic interpretation will sometimes use words ambiguously.
(D) Either a journalist uses words ambiguously or that journalist invites artistic interpretation.
(E) No journalist who invites artistic interpretation can become a great journalist.



4. Home alarm systems are commonly regarded by insurance companies as improving the safety of the home. However, statistics show that the break-in rate for homes equipped with such alarms is slightly higher than the break-in rate for houses without such alarms.

Which of the following statements, if true, would most help to reconcile the insurance companies' belief with the statistics cited?

(A) Home alarm systems are generally installed only in those homes that are in theft-prone areas.
(B) Because home alarm systems generate many false alarms, authorities are slow to respond to such alarms.
(C) Without signs announcing the presence of a home alarm system, the system does little to deter theft.
(D) Home alarm systems offer little protection against practiced thieves.
(E) Many home owners state that they feel safer after purchasing a home alarm system.


5. Some people interpret the phrase "survival of the fittest" as "survival of the strongest." However, inasmuch as "strong" is interpreted as "physical size and prowess", this is incorrect. Although strength and size provide a survival advantage within a species in such tasks as breeding, fighting for food, and running from predators, a species will survive only if its overall resource requirement for maintaining its strength does not outweigh the resources available, as is often the case during a famine or other ecological disaster.

Based on the passage above, which of the following statements must be true?

(A) If a species' resource requirement for maintaining its strength outweighs the resources available, that species will not survive.
(B) Strength does not provide a survival advantage for hunting food.
(C) The phrase "survival of the fittest" should not be used by the scientific community.
(D) The species with the least strength is the most likely to survive in a famine.
(E) If a species does not survive an ecological disaster, it is because that species' resource requirement for maintaining its strength outweighed the resources available.[/QUOTE]

[B][U][I][SIZE="3"]Logical reasoning[/SIZE][/I][/U][/B]

1. C. The argument concludes that global warming is not as serious as environmentalists claim, because this year the global temperature did not rise. However, the environmentalists' argument is that on average the temperature has risen 2 degrees over the past 30 years. When dealing with averages, it is completely possible to have a year when the temperature stays the same or even drops, while the overall average temperature over 30 years rises. A general average cannot be refuted with a single counterexample.

Choice A is incorrect because the argument does not conclude that global warming is more serious than any other threat. Nor does the argument conclude that global warming does not exist, as stated in choice C. Choice D is incorrect because at no point in the argument is a key term used ambiguously to mean two different things, and choice E is incorrect because the argument's evidence about the difference in temperature between the this year and last year is a fact and does not rely upon the truth of its conclusion.

2. E. The argument makes a conclusion about overall safety by considering only brakes. However, there are other possible factors one might consider when trying to buy a safe car, and choice E mentions one such factor, which weakens the conclusion that Griffon mini-vans are the best choice for safety. Choice A is incorrect because the conclusion specifically references "any consumer who is purchasing a mini-van...," so whether other types of automobiles are safer will have no impact on the conclusion. Likewise, choice B is incorrect because the conclusion references "any consumer who is purchasing… based solely on the criteria of safety..." so whether some consumers buy cars for other reasons is irrelevant to the conclusion of the argument. Choice D would strengthen the argument.

3. B. The argument tells us that a rule for journalistic reporting cannot invite artistic interpretation. If choice B is true, and using words ambiguously invites artistic interpretation, then it would also have to be true that journalists cannot use words ambiguously, since they cannot invite artistic interpretation.

Choice A is the opposite of the assumption in the argument: the argument assumes that ambiguous words and artistic interpretation are linked, whereas choice A says that they are not linked. Choice C is backwards: the argument assumes that using words ambiguously leads to artistic interpretation, not that artistic interpretation leads to ambiguous words. Also, it is worth noting that the second half of this answer choice says that journalists sometimes use words ambiguously, which contradicts the conclusion and thus cannot be an assumption. Choice D states that any journalist either uses words ambiguously, or invites artistic interpretation; however, the argument indicates that journalists do not do either. Choice E is incorrect because it discusses what is necessary in order to become a great journalist.

4. A. Choice A explains why home alarm systems would make homes safer, even though homes with such alarms are broken into more often than homes without such alarms. Choices B, C, and D all explain why the alarms might not be effective, but fail to explain why the break-in rate for such houses would be higher than the break-in rate for houses without such alarms. Choice E is incorrect because the home owners' feelings would not explain the burglary rates.

5. A. The passage states that "a species in general will survive only if its overall resource requirement to maintain its strength does not outweigh the resources available..." Thus, if the resource requirement outweighs the resources, the species will not survive. Choice B is incorrect because, although the passage lists three advantages for strength (breeding, fighting for food, and running from predators), nothing in the passage indicates that these are the only advantages. Strength may provide a survival advantage for hunting. Choice B is incorrect because nothing indicates that the phrase should be discarded, only that it is incorrect when interpreted in a certain way. Choice D is incorrect because, although strength can be a disadvantage in some way according to the passage, nothing supports the inference that the species with the least strength is the most likely to survive. The weakest species might not die because of its strength, but it still might get eaten by its slightly less weak competitors. By this same logic, Choice E is also incorrect; a species might die for many reasons during an ecological disaster. A lack of resources is one possible reason, but not the only reason.

1. B: The adjective "well-respected" is hyphenated, not two separate words.

2. D: When referring to the region, "Est" should be capitalized, as with the West, North, and South. When indicating direction, as in "Turn left and drive west for 25 miles," these are lower-case.

3. B: "United States" is capitalized, but the article "the" before it should not be capitalized, as it is not part of the name.

4. D: "Equator" is a name, i.e. a proper noun, and therefore, it should be capitalized.

5. A: The third-person plural possessive pronoun is spelled "their." "There" is an adverb indicating place or position (e.g. "here or there").

6. A: The term for this genre of music is "blues," i.e. a plural noun. It is NOT possessive and therefore, should NOT have an apostrophe.

7. E: This sentence is correct as it is written.

8. B: The correct adverb to modify the verb "put" here is "together." "Altogether" has a different meaning, i.e. entirely, totally, or on the whole, e.g. "I am altogether disgusted with your terrible grammar" or "Altogether, it was a pleasant day." The sentence given could sound correct when spoken, but it would have to be spelled as two separate words: "Put the ingredients ALL TOGETHER."

9. B: There should be a comma after "hand" to separate the first and second independent clauses, which are long and joined by the coordinating conjunction "but." (If the subject were omitted before the second verb, there would be no comma.)

10. E: This sentence is correct as it is written.

1.There is a central figure and four figures with one in each corner: (i) The central figure firstly increases in size over a series of three, then decreases in the same fashion; (ii) The central figure changes from white, to having a dotted outline, to black; and (iii) The four figures rotate around the four corners, moving two corners at a time.

[B][U]Correct Anwser: F[/U][/B]

2.[B]Correct Anwser: B[/B]
There are four rows, each containing a set of partially formed ovals. The same four rows appear in each block, but in a different order. In each step of the series the bottom row is moved to the top. This shifts the order of the rows, so that the first row becomes the second, the second row becomes the third and so on.

3.Each block in the series contains a central figure which is the internal figure of a larger figure: (i) The central figure firstly gradually increases in size; (ii) Secondly changes in colour from white to beige to black, then back to white and so on; (iii) The larger figure changes from a ‘square with rounded corners’ to a square to a pentagon, then back to a square with rounded corners’, and so on.
[B]Correct Anwser: F[/B]
4.Each block in the series contains a set of diagonal and horizontal lines. In the first block there are 3 diagonal lines and one horizontal line is added in (on to the first diagonal). In the second block one of the diagonal lines disappears and an additional horizontal line is added on to the first diagonal. The same pattern is repeated until there are no diagonal lines, then the next block adds back in one diagonal line, and so on.
[B]Correct Anwser: C[/B]
5.Each block in the series contains a column of four figures. These are always in the same order: white triangle, then black square, then white square, then black triangle. At each step in the series the top figure is moved to the bottom. Thus, the second figure becomes the first figure, the third becomes the second, and so on.

One major obstacle in the struggle to lower carbon dioxide emissions, which are believed to play a role in climate change, is the destruction of tropical rain forests. Trees naturally store more carbon dioxide as they age, and the trees of the tropical rain forests in the Amazon, for example, store an average of 500 tons of carbon dioxide per hectare (10,000 square miles). When such trees are harvested, they release their carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This release of carbon dioxide through the destruction of tropical forests, which experts estimate accounts for 20% of global carbon dioxide emissions annually, traps heat in the earth’s atmosphere, which leads to global warming.
The Kyoto treaty set forth a possible measure to curtail the rate of deforestation. In the treaty, companies that exceed their carbon dioxide emission limits are permitted to buy the right to pollute by funding reforestation projects in tropical rain forests. Since forests absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, planting such forests helps reduce the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide, thus balancing out the companies' surplus of carbon dioxide emissions. However, attempts at reforestation have so far been unable to keep up with the alarming rate of deforestation, and it has become increasingly clear that further steps must be taken to curtail deforestation and its possible deleterious effects on the global environment.
One possible solution is to offer incentives for governments to protect their forests. While this solution could lead to a drastic reduction in the levels of carbon dioxide, such incentives would need to be tied to some form of verification, which is extremely difficult, since most of the world's tropical forests are in remote areas, like Brazil's Amazon basin or the island of New Guinea, which makes on-site verification logistically difficult. Furthermore, heavy cloud cover and frequent heavy rain make conventional satellite monitoring difficult.
Recently, scientists at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency have suggested that the rates of deforestation could be monitored using new technology to analyze radar waves emitted from a surveillance satellite. By analyzing multiple radar microwaves sent by a satellite, scientists are able to prepare a detailed, high resolution map of remote tropical forests. Unlike photographic satellite images, radar images can be measured at night and during days of heavy cloud cover and bad weather.
Nevertheless, critics of government incentives argue that radar monitoring has been employed in the past with little success, citing the Global Rain Forest Mapping Project which was instituted in the mid 1990s amid concern over rapid deforestation in the Amazon. However, the limited data of the Mapping Project was due only to the small amount of data that could be sent from the satellite. Modern satellites can send and receive 10 times more data than their predecessors of the mid 1990s, obviating past problems with radar monitoring. Furthermore, recent technological advances in satellite radar that allow for more accurate measurements to be made, even in remote areas, make such technology a promising step in monitoring and controlling global climate change.

[B]1. Which one of the following most accurately expresses the main point of the passage?
[/B]

(A) Although scientists continue to search for a solution, there is, as yet, no good solution for the problem of rain forest deforestation.
(B) One major obstacle to lessening the contribution of atmospheric carbon dioxide caused by deforestation may be removed through satellite radar monitoring.
(C) Recent increases in the rate of deforestation of tropical rain forests have caused serious concern and spurred efforts to curb such deforestation.
(D) Although an excellent first step, the solutions set forth by the Kyoto treaty will not significantly curb the rate of deforestation unless companies begin to lessen their carbon dioxide emissions.
(E) Through the Kyoto treaty, companies that produce an overabundance of carbon dioxide are allowed to offset that carbon dioxide by contributing to reforestation efforts in tropical rainforests.
[B]
2. It can be inferred from the passage that photographic satellite images[/B]

(A) are impervious to bad weather
(B) cannot be used efficiently at night

(C) grudging respect
(D) qualified support
[B](E) reasoned optimism

4. The information presented in the passage implies which one of the following about the Mapping Project?[/B]

(A) The project was unsuccessful because it used only satellite radar monitoring.
(B) If the satellite had been able to send more data, the project may have been successful.
(C) It was established by the Kyoto treaty in response to widespread concern over deforestation.
(D) The project used only conventional satellite monitoring and on-site verification visits.
(E) The project was designed to monitor only forests in Brazil’s Amazon basin and the forests on the island of New Guinea.

[B]5. According to the passage, each of the following is true about tropical rain forests EXCEPT[/B]

(A) harvested trees release carbon dioxide
(B) they are sometimes subject to heavy cloud cover.
(C) they are protected from deforestation by the Kyoto treaty.
(D) they are not always easily reachable by modern transportation.
(E) in such forests, the older a tree becomes, the more carbon dioxide it will store.
[B]
6. Which one of the following, if true, most weakens the author's argument against the critics of government incentives?[/B]

(A) Radar images sent by satellites in the mid 1990s would have needed to have stored 100 times more data in order to have been useful for radar monitoring.
(B) New technology promises other forms of monitoring that may be even more effective than radar monitoring.
(C) The cost of radar monitoring may render it more expensive than some countries can afford.
(D) Some data from the 1990s satellites was later found to be more accurate than was originally believed.
(E) No form of monitoring can ever offer complete assurance of a government’s compliance with deforestation incentives.
[B]
7. Which one of the following best describes the organization of the passage?
[/B]
(A) A problem is described and a possible solution to the problem is suggested; the methodology for implementing such a solution is described, difficulties with the implementation are noted, and the solution is dismissed.
(B) A problem is described and a possible solution to the problem is suggested; the solution's shortcomings are noted, an alternative solution is suggested, then qualified in light of new evidence.
(C) A solution to a problem is described, multiple solutions to the problem are discussed, the possible outcomes of each solution are evaluated, and one solution is recommended over the others.
(D) A problem is described and a possible solution to the problem is suggested; possible shortcomings of the solution are noted, an alternative solution is suggested, and a potential obstacle to the solution is discussed.
(E) A theory is stated, objections to the theory are noted, and the theory is dismissed in light of new evidence.
