Paul: The U.S. should prohibit deer hunting for at least ten years. If the deer population continues to decrease, other species will be affected, which would harm industries in various parts of the country.

Lisa: While I believe that hunting is cruel, the only way to protect drivers from deer is to hunt them. Humans should be valued above deer and industries.

Paul and Lisa are most likely to agree that

Roger: The only reason diesel cars are not commonly used in the United States is that people believe they are more costly to fuel and maintain than gasoline cars. Fueling diesel cars is less expensive than fueling gasoline cars because they get many more miles per gallon. Diesel cars also last many more years. While other countries transition to diesel, the United States follows a myth.

Tamara: Many people in the United states do not even know that purchasing a diesel car is an option. Others may choose to purchase a gasoline car because they overemphasize the purchase price difference.

Roger and Tamara most likely disagree about which of the following?

Plug-in hybrid vehicles are much more cost-effective than vehicles powered by traditional gasoline engines. These hybrid vehicles cost only twice as much as gasoline vehicles in the same class, but consume only 1/10 of the gasoline while traveling an equal distance. Despite hybrid manufacturers’ exhaustive efforts to publicize the advantages of plug-in hybrid vehicles, industry analysts predict that these hybrid vehicles will sell poorly.

Each of the following, if true, provides support for the industry analysts’ prediction EXCEPT:

Learning a sport is much like getting to know a new friend. In the beginning, it can feel uncomfortable when getting to know a new friend, but comfort and affinity tend to increase as familiarity develops. Similarly, as a person practices playing a new sport, he or she will tend to _______.

Marie: Local charities need to proactively recruit volunteers.  Otherwise, they are likely to continue being understaffed.  The functioning of these charities depends on volunteers, and people will only volunteer if they know there is a need.  If charities can let enough people know about that need, people will volunteer.

Tony: The charities also need more funding. Without funds, it does not matter how many volunteers sign up to help charities.  If charities do try to recruit more volunteers, they will have to find new tactics because people know the need is great.

Marie and Tony most likely disagree about whether

John: There are very few reasons to support the new state immigration laws, and several reasons to oppose them. Most importantly, the laws fail to include any "Dream Act" provision for immigrant college students, and thus provide no incentive for persons here illegally to gain a higher education.

Mary: But you've failed to mention the sweeping reforms to the residency process included in the laws. Those reforms make understanding levels of citizenship much simpler for those who don't speak English. If parents of college students can't even figure out their own statuses, they're unlikely to understand how to improve the status of their children.

The dialogue provides the most support for the claim that John and Mary disagree over whether

The government has finally developed a strategy for combating corporate crime that could be effective.  Instead of fruitlessly attempting to find culpable individuals within a corporation, the government now prosecutes corporations directly.

The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees individuals the right to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures. This raises the question as to what makes a search unreasonable.

However, this definition raises yet another question: when is an expectation of privacy reasonable?
