The color red has been shown to induce greater aggression in people than the

color blue. Researchers conducted a study to determine whether such colorinduced aggression could influence the amount that consumers were willing to

pay for an identical product in online auction and online negotiation scenarios.

The researchers photographed a single item against each of four background

colors: blue, gray, white, and red. Using a computer, each participant in the study

viewed the item against exactly one of the four background colors. Half of the

participants were told the item was up for auction and were asked to submit their

highest bid for the item. The other half of the participants were told to negotiate

a price with the seller and were asked to offer the highest amount that they

would be willing to pay for the item.

The researchers expected that participants who viewed the red background

would typically behave more aggressively than those who viewed the blue

background, Among the auction group, the researchers hypothesized that more

aggressive participants would submit higher bids as they tried to beat other

potential bidders, Among the negotiation group, the researchers hypothesized

that more aggressive participants would make lower offers as they tried to

compete against the seller to get the best deal.

Which of the following statements most accurately describes the relationship

between the study's results and the researchers’ hypotheses?

The color red has been shown to induce greater aggression in people than the

color blue. Researchers conducted a study to determine whether such colorinduced aggression could influence the amount that consumers were willing to

pay for an identical product in online auction and online negotiation scenarios.

The researchers photographed a single item against each of four background

colors: blue, gray, white, and red. Using a computer, each participant in the study

viewed the item against exactly one of the four background colors. Half of the

participants were told the item was up for auction and were asked to submit their

highest bid for the item. The other half of the participants were told to negotiate

a price with the seller and were asked to offer the highest amount that they

would be willing to pay for the item.

The researchers expected that participants who viewed the red background

would typically behave more aggressively than those who viewed the blue

aggressive participants would submit higher bids as they tried to beat other

potential bidders. Among the negotiation group, the researchers hypothesized

that more aggressive participants would make lower offers as they tried to

compete against the seller to get the best deal.

Assuming the researchers’ hypothesized link between offers and aggression is

correct, for each of the following background colors select More aggressive if, on

average, participants in the negotiation group in the study behaved more

And select for Reason not to stop the factor that most clearly provides a logical reason for the motorist not to stop at the King Petrol station. Make only two selections, one in each column.

Client: You've recommended that we use humor In our new radio advertising campaign. Why be funny on the radio when we haven't been funny in advertising campaigns for

other media?

Archaeologists have excavated two ancient sites, Site A and Site B, each containing bowls and dishes. A third site containing similar vessels (bowls and dishes), Site C, Is known to have existed but has not yet been located. The vessels have been dated to three successive 40-vear-long time periods (Mil).

The dishes that were found are small and plain and were made primarily for everyday use. For each site, the average population at the site for a period is known to be roughly proportional to the number of dishes found that were dated to that period.

The bowls are more elaborate, decorated In either a curvy or a rectilinear style. They were made primarily for ritual use. The numbers of bowls found indicate the level of wealth of the site's inhabitants during the period to which the bowls were dated (with greater numbers indicating greater wealth).

Documents found at Sites A and B establish that exactly 18 of the dishes found at Site A were manufactured at Site C; otherwise, all of the vessels were made at the sites where they were found.

For each of Sites A through C, select Yes If the Information provided Indicates that the population at that site was both greater in Period II than Period I and greater in Period III than in Period II. Otherwise, select No.

Which of the following is a claim made in the passage?

Wildlife management seeks to ensure that there are sufficient numbers of reproductive adults, particularly adult females, to maintain the population of any particular species at a level sustainable by the environment. This Involves setting upper limits, by sex and age, on the number of animals that hunters may take during specified periods of the hunting season. To determine these upper Smlts, wildlife managers plan to collect data about the sex and age of animals killed by hunters during each hunting season, by examining random samples of the animals' teeth. They will then use the resulting information to set the upper limits for the following year's hunting season.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the prediction that the managers' plan, if implemented, will achieve the stated goal of wildlife management?
