Question 9

Decision makers tend to have distinctive styles. One such style is for the decision maker to seek the widest possible input from advisers and to explore alternatives while making up his or her mind. In fact, decision makers of this sort will often argue vigorously for a particular idea, emphasizing its strong points and downplaying its weaknesses, not because they actually believe in the idea but because they want to see if their real reservations about it are idiosyncratic or are held independently by their advisers. (A) If certain decision makers' statements are quoted accurately and at length, the content of the quote could nonetheless be greatly at variance with the decision eventually made. (B) Certain decision makers do not know which ideas they should believe in until after they have presented a variety of ideas to their advisers. (C) If certain decision makers dismiss an idea out of hand, it must be because its weaknesses are more pronounced than any strong points it may have. (D) Certain decision makers proceed in a way that makes it likely that they will frequently decide in favour of those ideas that they convince their advisors of. (E) If certain decision makers' advisers know the actual beliefs of those they advise, those advisers will give better advice than they would if they did not know those beliefs.

Question 10

Some flowering plant species, entirely dependent on bees for pollination, lure their pollinators with abundant nectar and pollen, which are the only source of food for bees. Often the pollinating species is so highly adapted that it can feed from-and thus pollinate- only a single species of plant. Similarly, some plant species have evolved flowers that only a single species of bee can pollinate-an arrangement that places the plant species at great risk of extinction. If careless applications of pesticides destroy the pollinating bee species, the plant species itself can no longer reproduce. (A) The total extinction of some plants would force certain bees to mutate so as to adapt to plants that remain. (B) If the sole pollinator of a certain plant species is in no danger of extinction, the plant species it pollinates is also unlikely to become extinct. (C) Some bees are able to gather pollen and nectar from any species of plant. (D) The blossoms of most species of flowering plants attract some species of bees and do not attract others. (E) The total destruction of the habitat of some plant species could cause some bee species to become extinct.
