Consider the following passage: "For decades, dermatologists have warned that it’s important to wear sunscreen when you spend time in the sun, but very few people take proper precautions to protect their skin. Some people believe that wearing sunscreen can increase the risk of developing skin cancer. Let’s consider the facts: each year millions of people in the U.S. are treated for skin cancer. It’s estimated that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer during their lifetime, and thousands die from the disease every year. It has been proven that regular use of sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher reduces the risk of developing the most serious forms of skin cancer by almost half. Regular use of a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 provides even greater protection. Claims that sunscreen is harmful lack a scientific basis. However, even if sunscreen is harmful, it is less harmful than skin cancer. Unfortunately, most sunscreen users only apply a fraction of the recommended amount, and many more don't limit their exposure to the sun." Which of the following answer choices best summarizes the main argument of the passage? Consider the following passage: “Voting, we are told, is a both a privilege and a duty of good citizens. Therefore we might expect that all citizens in a free society would want to vote, but voter turnout in recent presidential elections has hovered around 60%. However, that doesn't mean that 40% of eligible voters are lazy or apathetic. Some of them may have good reasons for not voiting. For some, not voting may be a form of political expression (e.g., to protest a corrupt political system). It might also be a specific rejection of current presidential candidates. In either case, not voting can be a form of democratic participation that is just as legitimate as voting." Which of the following best summarizes the main argument of the passage? Consider the following passage: "It seems as if everyone enjoys arguing about capital punishment, but few research the issue before taking a position. If they did, they would learn that study after study demonstrates that capital punishment does not reduce the rate of violent crime. When planning to commit a capital offense, many offenders don't distinguish between a life sentence and execution after years of incarceration, and few of them believe they will be caught. Furthermore, capital punishment does not save money. Due to legal fees and costs associated with the construction and operation of special prison wings, it costs $2-3 million more (depending on the state involved) to execute someone, than it does to imprison them for life. People disagree about whether capital punishment is murder, or fails to respect the value of human life, but since it doesn't reduce crime, and increases costs, capital punishment is impractical. However, it seems that some people would rather make unfounded assumptions, and disregard the cost of those assumptions to the taxpayers."
