Some questions from the same exam

Which of the following statements, if true, would weaken the conclusion drawn above?
- Insurance Company X is considering issuing a new policy to cover services required by elderly people who suffer from diseases that afflict the elderly.

- In order to combat Carville’s rampant homeless problem, Mayor Bloomfield recently proposed a ban on sleeping outdoors in the city’s many parks. He claims that such a measure will force the homeless to either leave Carville or to find means other than sleeping in public parks. Which of the following, if true, suggests that Mayor Bloomfield’s plan will be successful?
- The Maxilux car company's design for its new luxury model, the Max 100, included a special design for the tires. That was intended to complement the model's image. The winning bid for supplying these tires was submitted by Rubco. Analysts concluded that the bid would only just cover Rubco's costs on the tires, but Rubco executives claim that winning the bid will actually make a profit for the company.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly justifies the claim made by Rubco's executives? - Which of the following can be used by Fiona to further establish that Linda need not be correct in her reasoning?
- India’s baffling array of state and national labor laws date to the 1940s: one provides for the type and number of spittoons in a factory. Another says an enterprise with more than 100 workers needs government permission to scale back or close. Many Indian businesses stay small in order to remain beyond the reach of the laws. Big firms use temporary workers to avoid them. Less than 15% of Indian workers have legal job security. The new government can sidestep the difficult politics of curbing privileges by establishing a new, simpler labor contract that gives basic protection to workers but makes lay-offs less costly to firms. It would apply only to new hires; the small proportion of existing workers with gold-star protections would keep them.
Which of the following options best summarizes the main idea of the paragraph? - Unless you dedicate your whole life to it, you will never learn to speak the language of another country to perfection; you will never know its people and its literature with complete intimacy.Which of the following is likely to undermine the above argument?

Subject: RE: FWD: Webster Road sign
Date: September 2
Dear Council member,
Director Buchanan passed your inquiry on to me, as my team handles road signs in the city.
To answer your main question-yes, there would be limitations on the design of the sign. It must be either the style of general traffic signs (green with white lettering) or the style of Shalkon city informational signs (light gold with white lettering and the city logo). Also, note that the latter option is only available for signs that stand on one side of the road.
I'd be happy to meet with you this week to discuss these options in more detail. I'm free on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. Which would you prefer?
Sincerely,
Oliver Cortez

City Names Stretch of Webster Road after Cummings
(September 29)-A section of Webster Road between Coleman Street and Young Avenue has been co-named in honor of Frances Cummings, Shalkon's first female mayor.
Shalkon city council member Arlene Foster, who proposed the tribute, gathered with members of the late Mayor Cummings's family and others near the intersection of Webster Road and Coleman Street yesterday for a small unveiling ceremony.
The crowd cheered as a tarp was pulled off a new sign bridge that spans Webster Road and proclaims the subsequent half-mile of road to be "Frances Cummings Way". This section of road was chosen because of its proximity to Talmage Park, which Mayor Cummings famously revitalized during her tenure in office.
Council member Foster and Edmund Cummings, Mayor Cummings's son, gave speeches highlighting the mayor's positive impact on Shalkon.
