10. Popular culture in the United States has become Europeanized to an extent unimaginable twenty- five years ago. Not many people then drank wine with meals, and no one drank imported mineral water. No idea would have been more astonishing than that Americans would pay to watch soccer games. Such thoughts arise because of a report that the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials has just adopted a proposal to develop the country's first comprehensive interstate system of routes for bicycles.
Which of the following inferences is best supported by the passage?
(A) Long-distance bicycle routes are used in Europe.
(B) Drinking imported mineral water is a greater luxury than drinking imported wine.
(C) United States culture has benefited from exposure to foreign ideas.
(D) Most Europeans make regular use of bicycles.
(E) The influence of the United States on European culture has assumed unprecedented proportions in the last twenty-five years.

(A) M is scheduled for the day before the day of L's first treatment.
(B) N is scheduled for the day before the day of L's first treatment.
(C) O is scheduled for the day before the day of L's first treatment.
(D) P is scheduled for the day before the day of L's second treatment.
(E) P is scheduled for the day after the day of O's treatment.

23. The Supreme Court is no longer able to keep pace with the tremendous number of cases it agrees to decide. The Court schedules and hears 160 hours of oral argument each year, and 108 hours of next year's term will be taken up by cases left over from this year. Certainly the Court cannot be asked to increase its al- ready burdensome hours. The most reasonable long-range solution to this problem is to allow the Court to decide many cases without hearing oral argument; in this way the Court might eventually increase dramatically the number of cases it decides each year.
Which of the following, if true, could best be used to argue against the feasibility of the solution suggested above?
(A) The time the Court spends hearing oral argument is only a small part of the total time it spends deciding a case.
(B) The Court cannot legitimately avoid hearing oral argument in any case left over from last year.
(C) Most authorities agree that 160 hours of oral argument is the maximum number that the Court can handle per year.
(D) Even now the Court decides a small number of cases without hearing oral argument.
(E) In many cases, the delay of a hearing for a full year can be extremely expensive to the parties involved.
24. That social institutions influence the formation of character has become a generally accepted proposition. This doctrine views individuals as but compliant recipients of social influence: personalities are entirely the products of society, and at any point in life an individual's person- ality can be changed by management of the social world. Crime is said to exist only because society has in some ways failed in its responsibility to give every person the resources to lead a productive life. However, whereas it is true that extreme poverty forces some people to steal, it is obvious that some persons will commit crimes no matter how well society treats them.
Which of the following is implied by the "doctrine" (line 3) described in the passage above?
(A) Social institutions may reflect personality as much as they shape it.
(B) Social influence on personality is most strongly felt by the affluent.
(C) The concentration of wealth in the hands of a privileged few accounts for the existence of crime.
(D) Bringing about social reform is the most likely means of curtailing crime.
(E) Less severe punishment of crime would be likely to result in more crime.
25. The sense of delayed gratification, of working now for later
