Which of the following best completes the passage below? People buy prestige when they buy a premium product. They want to be associated with something special. Mass-marketing techniques and pricereduction strategies should not be used because____.


B is the best option.
The incomplete passage calls for an explanation of why price-reduction and massmarketing methods should not be used for premium products. B, which states that sales of these products require that they appear specials, provides such an
explanation. Therefore, B is the best answer. No other choice offers an appropriate explanation. The diminishing proportion of affluent buyers cited in A argues for using price reductions to attract buyers of lesser means. C suggests that purchasers of premium products find reduced prices attractive, and it has not been established that the methods affect quality or perception of quality. D argues for, rather than against, using mass marketing. E is inappropriate, since there is no indication that manufacturing costs are relevant.

If there is an oil-supply disruption resulting in higher international oil prices, domestic oil prices in open-market countries such as the United States will rise as well, whether such countries import all or none of their oil. If the statement in the passage concerning oil-supply disruptions is true, which of the following policies in an open-market nation is most likely to
reduce the long-term economic impact on that nation of sharp and unexpected increases in international oil prices?


Answer: D
Explanation:

The Best Option is D
If the statement about oil-supply disruption is true, domestic oil prices in an open-market country will rise when an oil-supply disruption causes increased international oil prices. A reduction in the amount of oil an open-market country consumes could reduce the economic impact of these increases. D gives a way to reduce oil consumption and is thus the best answer. A and E describe policies that could actually increase the long-term impact of international oil prices, so neither of these choices is appropriate. No relationship is established between the economic impact and either the number of oil tankers or diplomatic relations in B and C, so neither of these choices is appropriate.

Olu runs faster than Kunle, Kunle runs faster than Tayo, Simbi runs faster than Tayo. Which of the option would be right


Answer: A


Explanation:

To get a clearer picture, let’s represents the names with alphabet Olu = O, Tayo = T, Kunle = K and Simbi = S
O>K>T also S>T. The two options that meets the eye as correct are option A and C. But C is wrong because we cannot say for sure if Kunle and Simbi run at the same speed even if they both have speeds that are greater than that of Tayo. Therefore, the right option is Olu runs faster than Simbi (A)
