Verbal Reasoning:
Passage 1:
Founded in 1954, the Bilderberg Group holds an annual conference of 120 of the
world’s most powerful and influential people. Participants, invited by a steering
committee comprised of two people from 18 different countries, typically include
financiers, industrialists, politicians, royalty and newspaper editors. Past
delegates have included Tony Blair and Bill Clinton, shortly before becoming
heads of state. Reporters, however, are not invited: the Bilderberg Group’s
meetings are conducted in privacy, with strict confidentiality rules to foster open
discussion. The Group was established to promote understanding and
cooperation between the United States and Europe and to create an informal
network for the global elite. No votes are taken at the conference and no policies
are agreed. However, the secrecy surrounding the conferences has given rise to
numerous conspiracy theories. Right-wing critics believe that the Bilderberg
Group is a shadowy global government, with some conspiracy theorists holding
the Group responsible for organising events including the overthrow of Margaret
Thatcher, the Bosnian War and the invasion of Iraq. Left-wing activists, who call
for greater transparency, accuse the Group of being an unelected capitalist cabal
controlling world finance. While opponents view the Group as undemocratic,
supporters argue that modern democracies depend on cooperation between
banking and politics, and that organisations such as the Bilderberg Group help
ensure their success.

Choose True / False / Cannot Say for the following statements

Q1 The Bilderberg Group has critics on both sides of the ideological spectrum.
True

Q2 Representatives from the media are not allowed to attend the Bilderberg
Group conference.
False

Q3 The Bilderberg Group was created as a private forum to set Europe and
America’s political and financial agenda.
False

Q4 Topics discussed at Bilderberg Group conferences have included the

invasion of Iraq.
Cannot Say

Q5 Because its delegates are not elected, the Bilderberg Group’s activities are
widely believed to be undemocratic.
Cannot Say

Passage 2:
Many organisations predict that the global water crisis presents this century’s
biggest threat. Today 84% of people in developing countries have access to clean
water, 2 billion more than in 1990. However, millions still lack clean water for
drinking and sanitation, posing a major health threat. In the developed world, water
consumption is unsustainably high, doubling every twenty years. Agriculture
accounts for 70% of the world’s fresh water use, and an increasing population to
feed means this demand will only increase. Groundwater sources, used to irrigate
crops, are running dry because of overuse. While limiting the use of groundwater is
a possible solution, it would have a financial impact on farmers and result in lower
yields. While climate change has resulted in increased precipitation in some areas,
it is contributing to water shortages in other regions. Rising temperatures have
caused the Himalayan glaciers, the source for all of Asia’s major rivers, to retreat. A
reservoir for nearly half of the world’s fresh water, these glaciers are predicted to
lose four-fifths of their area by 2040. The solution to the global water crisis lies
predominantly in new technologies. Desalination plants, which convert seawater
into fresh water, have now been built in countries including Israel and Singapore.
The process’s high costs however limit its widespread adoption. Organising bodies
and treaties are also needed to ensure that cross-border water sources are
managed properly and do not become a source of conflict.

Q1 The global water crisis has resulted in less of the world’s population having
access to fresh water
True

Q2 The irrigation of crops comprises the majority of groundwater usage.

Cannot Say

Q3 Despite increasing rainfall in some areas, climate change is the main cause
of the global water crisis.
Cannot Say

Q4 The main impediment to desalination is expense.

Cannot Say

Q5 Both technological innovation and diplomacy are needed to tackle the world’s
water crisis.
True

Passage 4:
The carbonated soft-drinks industry is one of the most profitable industries in the UK. There
are three reasons for this. Firstly, the cost of producing carbonated drinks, such as cola and
lemonade, costs the producer a fraction of the item’s selling price to make. For this reason,
the cost to profit ratio is high.
Secondly, carbonated soft-drinks are purchased by the largest cross-section of society. Not
only are soft-drinks popular amongst children and teen-agers, they are a common addition
to alcoholic beverages and often chosen by adults wishing to avoid alcohol. For this
reason, the large target-audience of soft-drinks is one factor which contributes to the
profitability of such products.
Finally, research suggests that certain carbonated soft-drinks contain certain chemicals
which have a mildly addictive quality. An example of this is caffeine. Therefore, many
consumers of carbonated drinks are likely to be affected by such substances, leading to
repeat purchases and even dependence. Such factors are to the advantage of the industry
and lead to the increased profitability of their products.

Q1. Based on the information in the passage alone, which of the factors below does not
contribute to the profitability of the carbonated soft-drinks industry?

a. Cost of production minute compared to the selling price.

b. Carbonated-soft drinks are enjoyed by a wide cross-section of society.
c. The soft drinks industry spends £3 billion on advertising on average.
d. Carbonated drinks often include mildly addictive substances such as caffeine
Answer: c
