Question 367

Limited research indicates that therapeutic intervention before the onset of mental disorders can mitigate factors identified as major contributors to them. But a much more comprehensive research program is needed to verify these results and allow for the design of specific health care measures. Thus, in order to explore a potential means of cost-effectively helping people prone to mental disorders, we should increase funding for intervention research.

Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

  • ○

    Most minor mental disorders are more expensive to treat than other minor health problems.
  • ○

    Prevention research can be coordinated by drawing together geneticists, neurologists, and behavioral scientists.
  • ○

    Reducing known risk factors for mental disorders is relatively inexpensive compared to the long-term treatment required
  • ○

    Current funding for intervention research is now higher than it has ever been before.
  • ○

    Once a mental disorder disappears, there is a fair chance that it will recur, given that complete cures are rare.
Question 368

The radiation absorbed by someone during an ordinary commercial airline flight is no more dangerous than that received during an ordinary dental X-ray. Since a dental Xray does negligible harm to a person, we can conclude that the radiation absorbed by members of commercial airline flight crews will also do them negligible harm.

A flaw in the argument is its failure to consider that

  • ○

    there may be many forms of dangerous radiation other than X-rays and the kinds of radiation absorbed by members of commercial airline flight crews
  • ○

    receiving a dental X-ray may mitigate other health risks, whereas flying does not
  • ○

    exposure to X-rays of higher intensity than dentalX-rays may be harmful
  • ○

    the longer and the more often one is exposed to radiation, the more radiation one absorbs and the more seriously one is harmed
  • ○

    flying at high altitude involves risks in addition to exposure to minor radiation
Question 369

The recent cleaning of frescoes in the Sistine Chapel has raised important aesthetic issues. Art historians are now acutely aware that the colors of the works they study may differ from the works' original colors. Art historians have concluded from this that interpretations of the frescoes that seemed appropriate before the frescoes' restoration may no longer be appropriate.

Which one of the following principles, if valid, most helps to justify the art historians' reasoning?

Select an option, then click Submit answer.

  • ○

    The appropriateness of an interpretation of an artwork is relative to the general history of the period in which the interpretation is made.
  • ○

    The restoration of an artwork may alter it such that it will have colors that the artist did not intend for it to have.
  • ○

    The colors of an artwork are relevant to an appropriate interpretation of that work.
  • ○

    Art historians are the best judges of the value of an artwork.
  • ○

    Interpretations of an artwork are appropriate if they originated during the period when the work was created.
