Source of financing, therefore, must be a more important causative factor in the success of a start-up company than are such factors as the personal characteristics of the entrepreneur, the quality of strategic planning, or the management structure of the company. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above? Venture capitalists tend to be more responsive than other sources of financing to changes in a start-up company's financial I needs. The strategic planning of a start-up company is a less important factor in the long-term success of the company than are the personal characteristics of the entrepreneur. More than half of all new companies fail within five years. The management structures of start-up companies are generally less formal than the management structures of on going businesses. Venture capitalists base their decisions to fund start-up companies on such factors as the characteristics of the entrepreneur and quality of strategic planning of the company. 7. perhatikan soal berikut! Automobile Dealer's Advertisement: The Highway Traffic Safety Institute reports that the PZ 1000 has the fewest injuries per accident of any car in its class. This shows that the PZ 1000 is one of the safest cars available today. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument in the advertisement? The Highway Traffic Safety Institute report listed many cars in other classes that had more injuries per accident than did the PZ 1000. In recent years many more PZ 1000s have been sold than have any other kind of car in its class. Cars in the class to which the PZ 1000 belongs are more likely to be involved in accidents than are other types of cars. The difference between the number of injuries per accident for the PZ 1000 and that for other cars in its class is quite pronounced. The Highway Traffic Safety Institute issues reports only once a year. 8. perhatikan soal berikut! Journalist: In late 1994, the present government of the Republic of Bellam came into power. Each year since then, about thirty journalists have been imprisoned for printing articles that criticize the government. In 1994, under the old government, only six journalists were imprisoned for criticizing the government. So the old government was more tolerant of criticism by the press than the new one is. Politician: But in 1994 only six journalists criticized the government, and now journalists routinely do. The politician challenges the journalist’s argument by doing which of the following? Presenting data that extend further into the past than the journalist's data. Introducing evidence that undermines an assumption of the journalist's argument. Questioning the accuracy of the evidence presented in support of the journalist's conclusion. Pointing out that the argument illegitimately draws ageneral conclusion on the basis of a sample of only a few cases. Stating that the argument treats information about some members of a group as if it applied to all members of that group. 9. perhatikan soal berikut! Passage 1 Since coming to a head in 2004, the high fructose corn syrup crisis and its role I the emergent obesity epidemic has faced unwavering denial from the food industry, yet the effort to defend the additive on scientific grounds have been dubious at best. We are all familiar with the pitifui syilogism:com syrup comes from corn, and corn is natural, corn syrup, therefore, is natural. However true this may be, it provides no proof whatsoever as to corn syrup's safety for human consumption. Selanine, for example, is easily extracted from potatoes, and while harm less in smaller amounts, Once concentrated it becomes a potent and potentially deadly neurotoxin. But digress. Let us not look to the source of corn syrup to determine its nutritional demerit, but turn instead to its direct metabolism effect on our bodies. Under ideal circumstances, the vast majority of sugar in our blood is derived from starch, which is broken into glucose before being released to the bloodstream Glycolysis is the name applied to ten sequential chemical reactions that allow us to either liberate energy from glucose, or transform it into fats for storage in adipose tissues. Gluconeogenesis. mean while, is an opposite process in which glucose is derived from non-carbohydrate substance, and a close and efficient regulation of the balance between glycolityc and gluconeogenic processes in response to the changing concentra tions of glucose in the blood is necessary for the maintenance of healthful homeostatis. By far the most critical point in this regulation occurs at the third step of glycolysis: in the hormonaliy-controlled phosphorylation of fructose-6-phospate into fructose-1, 6-bisphopate. When glucose is abundant, pancreatic insulin induces the forward glycolytic catalysis of this reaction, allowing the production of fructose — 1,6-bisphospate, which in turn is cleaved into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. When glucose is scarce, pancreatic glucagon blocks glycolysis, and induces the gluconeogenic production of fructose-6-phosphate, which is subseguentty isomerized into glucose-6-phosphate, and released into the blood. The primary problem, therefore, with deriving major amounts of dietary sugar directly from fructose rather than from starch lies in the fact that the degradation of fructose-which, upon entry into the cell, is split immediately into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde—completely bypasses the first four steps of glycolysis, including the most critical regulatory reaction in the entire process. Thus, how our bodies handle the usage of fructose is utterly dissociated from the hormonal control of insulin and glucagon, which, over time, invariably predisposes one to obesity, diabetes mellitus, and a host of other dangerous metabolic disorders. passage 2 The media frenzy and public outcry that have surrounded the use of high fructose corn syrup as a food additive are as unfounded as the similarly nonsensical indignations that erupted in response to the advent of commercially available genetically modified crop seeds. Despite ongoing proof that genetically modified crops are not only perfectly safe for consumption, but that they have in fact saved an estimated 600 million people from starvation over the past two decades, fears and skepticism toward them persist simply because they are popularly perceived as “unnatural,” and thus, somehow unhealthy These same misguided apprehensions have been at the forefront of the crusade against high fructose corn syrup. Yet, in reality, the process of producing corn syrup is strikingly similar to the carbohydrate metabolism that occurs naturally within the human body. First, corn starch is broken down into glucose isomerase. Overall, the recipe is hardly as sinister as its opponents would have us believe. We must acknowledge, of course, that research has identified with the chronic overconsumption of sugar, and perhaps of fructose in particular. There risks, however, are by no means limited to foodstuffs containing high fructose corn syrup. Depending on the formula, corn syrup contains between 42% and 55% fructose by volume. For comparison, cane sugar, honey, and agave nectar-three popular sweeteners touted as “natural”, and therefore, more healthful- contain 50%, 52%, and 85% fructose, respectively. Thus, while it is true that fructose should be consumed only in moderation, the singling out of product that contain high fructose corn syrup is not merely insufficient action to curb the fructose —associated obesity epidemic in our country, it's also patently misleading to consumers. What is the primary purpose of sentence Selanine, for example, is easily extracted from potatoes, and while harm less in smaller amounts, once concentrated it becomes a potent and potentially deadly neurotoxin. (Passage 1, Paragraph 1) To present practical applications. To refute a particular line of thinking. To clarify an unfamiliar term. To draw attention to a harmful process. To confirm a certain assuattion. 10. perhatikan soal berikut!

The primary problem, therefore, with deriving major amounts of dietary sugar directly from fructose rather than from starch lies in the fact that the degradation of fructose-which, upon entry into the cell, is split immediately into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde—completely bypasses the first four steps of glycolysis, including the most critical regulatory reaction in the entire process. Thus, how our bodies handle the usage of fructose is utterly dissociated from the hormonal control of insulin and glucagon, which, over time, invariably predisposes one to obesity, diabetes mellitus, and a host of other dangerous metabolic disorders. passage 2 The media frenzy and public outcry that have surrounded the use of high fructose corn syrup as a food additive are as unfounded as the similarly nonsensical indignations that erupted in response to the advent of commercially available genetically modified crop seeds. Despite ongoing proof that genetically modified crops are not only perfectly safe for consumption, but that they have in fact saved an estimated 600 million people from starvation over the past two decades, fears and skepticism toward them persist simply because they are popularly perceived as “unnatural,” and thus, somehow unhealthy These same misguided apprehensions have been at the forefront of the crusade against high fructose corn syrup. Yet, in reality, the process of producing corn syrup is strikingly similar to the carbohydrate metabolism that occurs naturally within the human body. First, corn starch is broken down into glucose isomerase. Overall, the recipe is hardly as sinister as its opponents would have us believe. We must acknowledge, of course, that research has identified with the chronic overconsumption of sugar, and perhaps of fructose in particular. There risks, however, are by no means limited to foodstuffs containing high fructose corn syrup. Depending on the formula, corn syrup contains between 42% and 55% fructose by volume. For comparison, cane sugar, honey, and agave nectar-three popular sweeteners touted as “natural”, and therefore, more healthful- contain 50%, 52%, and 85% fructose, respectively. Thus, while it is true that fructose should be consumed only in moderation, the singling out of product that contain high fructose corn syrup is not merely insufficient action to curb the fructose —associated obesity epidemic in our country, it's also patently misleading to consumers. Which option gives the best evidence for the answer to the previous question?Passage 1 Since coming to a head in 2004, the high fructose corn syrup crisis and its role I the emergent obesity epidemic has faced unwavering denial from the food industry, yet the effort to defend the additive on scientific grounds have been dubious at best. We are all familiar with the pitifui syilogism:com syrup comes from corn, and corn is natural, corn syrup, therefore, is natural. However true this may be, it provides no proof whatsoever as to corn syrup's safety for human consumption. Selanine, for example, is easily extracted from potatoes, and while harm less in smaller amounts, Once concentrated it becomes a potent and potentially deadly neurotoxin. But digress. Let us not look to the source of corn syrup to determine its nutritional demerit, but turn instead to its direct metabolism effect on our bodies. Under ideal circumstances, the vast majority of sugar in our blood is derived from starch, which is broken into glucose before being released to the bloodstream Glycolysis is the name applied to ten seguential chemical reactions that allow us to either liberate energy from glucose, or transform it into fats for storage in adipose tissues. Gluconeogenesis. mean while, is an opposite process in which glucose is derived from non-carbohydrate substance, and a close and efficient regulation of the balance between glycolityc and gluconeogenic processes in response to the changing concentra tions of glucose in the blood is necessary for the maintenance of healthful homeostatis. By far the most critical point in this regulation occurs at the third step of glycolysis: in the hormonaliy-controlled phosphorylation of fructose-6-phospate into fructose-1, 6-bisphopate. When glucose is abundant, pancreatic insulin induces the forward glycolytic catalysis of this reaction, allowing the production of fructose — 1,6-bisphospate, which in turn is cleaved into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. When glucose is scarce, pancreatic glucagon blocks glycolysis, and induces the gluconeogenic production of fructose-6-phosphate, which is subseguentty isomerized into glucose-6-phosphate, and released into the blood.

However, at least one study has shown that such monitoring may not be having the desired effect. In the study, researchers asked monitored clerical workers and their supervisors how assessments of productivity affected supervisors' ratings of workers' performance, In contrast to unmonitored workers doing the same work, who without exception identified the most important element in their jobs as customer service, the monitored workers and their supervisors all responded that productivity was the critical factor in assigning ratings. ThiS finding suggested that there should have been a strong correlation between a monitored worker's productivity and the overall rating the worker received, However, measures of the relationship between overall rating and individual elements of performance clearly supported the conclusion that supervisors gave considerable weight to criteria such as attendance, accuracy, and indications of customer satisfaction. It is possible that productivity may be a "hygiene factor": that is, if it is too low, it will hurt the overall rating.

According to the passage, before the final results of the study were known, which of use of the following seemed likely? That workers with the highest productivity would also be the most accurate. That workers who initially achieved high productivity ratings would continue to do so consistently. That the highest performance ratings would be achieved by workers with the highest productivity. That the most productive workers would be those whose supervisors claimed to value productivity. The supervisors who claimed to value productivity would place equal value on customer satisfaction. 15. perhatikan soal berikut!

Art historians' approach to French Impressionism has changed significantly in recent years. While a decade ago Rewald's History of Impressionism, which emphasizes Impressionist painters' stylistic innovations, was unchallenged, the literature on impressionism has now become a kind of ideological battlefield, in which more attention is paid to the subject matter of the paintings, and to the social and moral issues raised by it, than to their style. Recently, politically charged discussions that address the impressionists' unequal treatment of men and women and the exclusion of modern industry and labor from their pictures have tended to crowd out the stylistic analysis favored by Rewald and his followers. In a new work illustrating this trend, Robert L. Herbert dissociates him-self from formalists whose preoccupation with the stylistic features of impressionist painting has, in Herbert's view, left the history out of art history: his aim is to restore impressionist paintings “to their sociocultural context.” However, his arguments are not finally persuasive. In attempting to place impressionist painting in its proper historical context, Herbert has redrawn the traditional boundaries of impressionism. Limiting himself to the two decades between 1860 and 1880, he assembles under the impressionist banner what can only be described as a somewhat eccentric grouping of painters. Cezanne, Pisarro, and Sisley are almost entirely ignored, largely be- cause their paintings do not suit Herbert's emphasis on themes of urban life and suburban leisure, while Manet, Degas, and Caillebotte—who paint scenes of urban life but whom many would hardly Characterize as impressionists—dominate the first half of the book. Although this new description of Impressionist painting provides a more unified conception of nineteenth-century French painting by grouping quite disparate modernist painters together and emphasizing their common concerns rather than their stylistic difference, it also forces Herbert to overlook some of the most important genres of impressionist painting—portraiture, pure landscape, and still-life painting. Moreover, the rationale for Herbert's emphasis on the social and political realities that Impressionist paintings can be said to communicate rather than on their style is finally undermined by what even Herbert concedes was the failure of Impressionist painters to serve as particularly conscientious illustrators of their social milieu. They left much ordinary experience—work and poverty, for example—out of their paintings and what they did put in was transformed by a style that had only : an indirect relationship to the social realities of the world they depicted.

Their painting in effect have two levels of subject: what is represented and how it is represented, and no art historian can afford to emphasize one at the expense of the other. Which one of the following best expresses the main point of the passage? The style of impressionist paintings has only an indirect relation to their subject matter. The approach to impressionism that is ilustrated by Herbert's recent book is inadequate. The historical context of impressionist paintings is not relevant to their interpretation. Impressionism emerged from a historical context of ideological conflict and change. Any adequate future interpretation of impressionism will have to come to terms with Herbert's view of this art movement. 18. perhatikan soal berikut!
