1. Drug companies lose money when manufacturing 
drugs that cure those suffering from rare diseases 
because selling a drug to only a few people usually 
does not recoup manufacturing expenses．Therefore, 
a company manufacturing any of the drugs that cure 
those suffering from loxemia, an extremely rare 
disease, will undoubtedly lose money．
Which of the following, if true, most seriously 
weakens the conclusion above？
(A)Several drugs that cure those suffering from 
loxemia also cure those suffering from very 
common illnesses．
(B)Most of those who contract loxemia also con-
tract another illness concurrently．
(C)Most of the drug companies that manufacture 
drugs that cure rare diseases do not manufac-
ture drugs that cure loxemia．
(D)A sizable number of people are afflicted with 
one or another rare disease even though each 
rare disease afflicts only a small number of 
people．
(E)The larger the amount of a drug that is manu-
factured, the lower the manufacturing expense 
for each unit of the drug that is produced．
2.The tomb of a warrior killed in 1501 bears a sculpted 
portrait depicting him dressed for battle．Some his-
torians attribute the portrait to an artist from that 
century, but of the many references to the tomb in 
surviving documents, none that predates the 1800’s 
mentions the portrait．The portrait is therefore more 
likely the work of a much later artist．
Which of the following, if true, would also support 
the conclusion of the argument if substituted for the 
evidence given concerning the portrait？
(A)The portrait of the warrior was commissioned by 
the family of the warrior’s widow．
(B)References in surviving documents mention that 
an artist was paid in 1525 for an unspecified 
number of works for the church in which the 
tomb is located
(C)The warrior is depicted in the portrait as wearing 
boots made of a material not used for boots 
until the 1700’s．
(D)Some other art treasures from the church in 
which the tomb is located have been reliable
dated to the 1400’s．
(E)The portrait of the warrior on the tomb strongly 
resembles a portrait of him known to have 
been completed during his lifetime．
