If this change were adopted, wealthy individuals would no longer be permitted such deductions. Therefore, many charitable and institutions would have to reduce services, and some would have to close their doors.

The argument above assumes which of the following? A Without incentives offered by federal income tax laws, at least some wealthy individuals would not donate as much money to charitable and educational institutions as they otherwise would have. B Money contributed by individuals who make their donations because of provisions in the federal tax laws provides the only source of funding for many charitable and educational institutions. C The primary reason for not adopting the proposed change in the federal income tax laws cited above is to protect wealthy individuals from having to pay higher taxes.

D Wealthy individuals who donate money to charitable and educational institutions are the only individuals who donate money to such institutions. E Income tax laws should be changed to make donations to charitable and educational institutions the only permissible deductions from taxable income. Re: Inference vs Assumption [ permalink ] Sep 05, am. Re: Inference vs Assumption [ permalink ] Sep 06, am. Hi Chiranjeev, Thanks for your detailed and patient reply to all of my points.

Message well received! Thanks again for pointing to this apt question for the moment. Never thought spending several hours on blog can be so educating. I never thought that Negation Test can be so handy. I mostly relied on my pre-thought assumption, prethinking and analysis and not so much on Negation Test. Now I see its value as a great time saver. As I mentioned earlier, the Takeaway was for me.

And I am happy to find out how Negation Test can "save" time. Concl: Therefore, many charitable and institutions would have to reduce services, and some would have to close their doors. First read: Close to prethought assumption I keep it B Money contributed by individuals who make their donations because of provisions in the federal tax laws provides the only source of funding for many charitable and educational institutions. First read: Close to prethought assumption I keep it C The primary reason for not adopting the proposed change in the federal income tax laws cited above is to protect wealthy individuals from having to pay higher taxes.

OFS D Wealthy individuals who donate money to charitable and educational institutions are the only individuals who donate money to such institutions.

Close to prethought assumption. Its seems to the point So I will apply NT here: A: -A: Without incentives offered by federal income tax laws, NO wealthy individuals would not donate as much money to charitable and educational institutions as they otherwise would have. So, Concl. Takeaway for me : Stick to NT when evaluating more than one seemingly correct answer.

In fact the School I would love to go has the highest average GMA score, so anything less than would be a bad score for me. I am a retaker and currently standing at So, may be more than a quick learner I am being driven by experience.

Moving forward, As of now, I do not yet apply Variance Test. I have the habit of pre-thinking and then going for POE.

When faced with two seemingly correct choices I reread them, apply logic and select one. Do you also have some examples preferred from OG in which application of Variance Test is advisable. I mean examples where we do have more than one very attractive choices. Application of Variance Test not for the sake of applying it but because other methods are not as effective as VT. The Rebellion!

Re: Inference vs Assumption [ permalink ] Sep 09, am. Hi Chiranjeev, As you suggested, here's my analysis - Option D :Wealthy individuals who donate money to charitable and educational institutions are the only individuals who donate money to such institutions. What I understood although it's wrong I know - So,as per the negated statement, it can be said that there are other sources of funding to many charitable and educational institutions. Hence, the conclusion that these charitable and educational institutions would need to cut down their service or close doors, doesn't hold good.

Option A: No confusion if we're to consider this alone. But, when I see option D, confusion arises. Re: Inference vs Assumption [ permalink ] Sep 10, am. Stick to logic. If you are not able to understand something, then ask someone, look up in the books.

But don't satisfy yourself with such rules. Such rules are almost always counter productive. Re: Inference vs Assumption [ permalink ]. Hi Google [Bot], Here are updates for you:. Tuck at Dartmouth.
