• Question 222:

  Geraldine: The medical profession claims that it is constantly refining its diagnostic techniques so as to improve its ability to treat those who are ill, but I suspect that this is all Just obfuscation. Anyone who really wants to know why medical diagnoses have increased in recent years need look only at the tremendous amount of money that is made manufacturing, advertising, and distributing drugs.

  Which of the following would it be most useful to determine in evaluating Geraldine's explanation?

  A. Whether the medical profession's diagnostic techniques have changed significantly in recent years
  B. Whether in recent years medical professionals have prescrfoed different medications than they did in years past for certain ailments
  C. Whether in recent years those who were prescribed drugs reported that they were satisfied with the treatment they received
  D. Whether in recent years diagnoses of ailments treated by nondrug therapies have increased at a more rapid rate than diagnoses of ailments treated by drugs
  E. Whether in recent years the amount of money that was made manufacturing, advertising, and distributing drugs was greater than the amount of money that was made by the physicians who diagnosed ailments
  E. Whether in recent years the amount of money that was made manufacturing, advertising, and distributing drugs was greater than the amount of money that was made by the physicians who diagnosed ailments

• Question 230:

  Which of the following does the passage suggest is true?

  B. Mirages involve a change in the direction of microwaves.
  C. Microwave radiation behaves in some ways like visible light.

  E. Metamaterials are primarily of use in construction of buildings that need to be shielded from some forms of EMR.
  B. Mirages involve a change in the direction of microwaves.

  Explanation/Reference:

  Consider a mirage on a hot toad: when light rays hit the hot air just above the surface, they bend. Although light moves through a vacuum at a certain constant speed, it moves more slowly through any transparent medium, such as water or gas. Light travels faster in the thin air near the road than it does in the colder, denser air above, and the difference in speed makes it shift direction as it crosses the boundary between the two. Rays once headed downwards from the sky are redirected to your eye, hiding part of the road with a shimmering image. A research team has constructed an apparatus to cloak an object from electromagnetic radiation (EMR)--in this case, microwaves--making the object 'invisible" to microwave- based detection devices, somewhat as a mirage on a hot road makes the road invisible. The apparatus bends incoming microwaves around the object, using a class of recently created metamaterials--materials that gain certain desired properties directly from their engineered structures rather than from their composition. These metamaterials possess the ability, not found in nature, to bend microwaves at extreme angles. The metamaterial in this case--thin, rigid sheets of fiberglass insulator stamped with conducting loops, coils, and tiny rectangles--was designed to control the movement of incoming EMR.
