West River Glen is deciding which network architecture should replace its old copper telephone lines. The town will replace 300 miles of Outside Plant (OSP) cable that will serve approximately 2,500 homes.

The first option is to install a Fiber to the Home (FTTH) system architecture that uses fiber- optic cable to transmit signals from the source to each home. The advantages of this architecture include greater bandwidth capabilities, less signal

loss, and slightly lower new- cable deployment costs than the second option. Hybrid Fiber-Coax (HFC).

An HFC network integrates fiber-optic cables and devices with coaxial cables.

This will cost the town substantially less money for internal equipment and for customer installations. However, the coaxial cable does not last as long as fiberoptic cable and will thus need to be replaced more frequently, resulting in higher

long-term maintenance expenses.

The town believes that either the FTTH or HFC architectures will be capable of serving the communities' data and television needs for the next 30 years.

According to the information provided, which of the following attributes is an advantage of HFC network architecture as compared with FTTH architecture?

A. Lower new cable deployment costs

B. Lower maintenance expenses

C. Greater longevity of coaxial cable

D. 95% lower internal equipment deployment costs

E. 90% lower customer installation costs

Although many people assume that excessive use of the saltshaker fully accounts for the overly salt-rich diet of the United States, the fact is that about 77 percent of the salt, even with Americans who sprinkle liberally, comes from processed foods such as lunch meats, commercial soups, packaged cakes, and potato chips.

A. about 77 percent of the salt, even with Americans who sprinkle liberally, comes

B. about 77 percent of the intake of salt even on the part of Americans who sprinkle liberally will come

C. even Americans who sprinkle liberally derive about n percent of their salt

D. even Americans sprinkling liberally should derive about 77 percent of their salt

E. even sprinkling liberally, about 77 percent of the American intake of salt comes

Until the Apollo astronauts brought samples of lunar material to Earth during 196?72, scientists believed that the Moon's surface was largely undisturbed, given its dry, airless environment. Examination of the samples has shown otherwise. Micrometeorites, many smaller than a pencil point, constantly rain onto the Moon at up to 100,000 kilometers per hour, chipping materials or forming microscopic craters. Some melt the soil and vaporize and recondense as glassy coats on other specks of dust. Impacts weld debris into lumps of heterogeneous matter called "agglutinates." Complicated interactions with solar particle streams convert iron into myriads of microscopic iron grains. The regdith--pebbles, sand, and dust-from these erosion processes blankets the Moon. Much of the top layer consists of a complex abrasive dust of microscopic glass shards that can grind machinery and sealing devices and damage human lungs.

The Apollo specimens held by the United States are doled out in ultra-small samples to scientists who demonstrate that nothing else will suffice for high-value experiments. Renewed interest In lunar exploration in the late 1980s meant that

materials designed to simulate lunar regolith--simulants--were needed for research to develop schemes for lunar building and procedures for extracting elements such as oxygen found abundantly in regolith. That led to the development of JSC-1 in 1993, made of volcanic cinder cone from a quarry in Arizona in the U.S. The more than 22 metric tons made was in high demand. Efforts are now afoot to manufacture 16 metric tons of JSC-1 A, with 1 ton of fine grains, 14 tons of moderately fine, and 1 ton of coarse.

The reason cited in the passage for developing a few root simulants (see highlighting) is

A. the similarity of the physical structure of lunar regolith from different areas of the Moon

B. the nature of the tests for which the lunar regolith simulants were originally developed

C. the impracticality and expense of individually producing a unique simulant for each of many different lunar locations

D. the similarity of chemical composition of lunar regolith and terrestrial volcanic soils

E. the difficulty of obtaining simulant components from widely scattered quarries and mines

Many companies today are making new product development a central element of their competitive strategy. Because the potential benefits of successful product innovation are great--prolonged growth, superior financial returns, and strong investor interest-many companies offer employees incentives such as promotions and bonuses for developing new products, incentives not offered for innovations in other areas of the business, firms' priorities can also be shaped by their measurement systems, since these systems can directly measure returns from new products more immediately than they can measure returns from investments in such areas as organizational restructuring or innovations in marketing.

But the organizational culture of such companies can hurt them in the marketplace because a narrow focus on product development can ultimately detract from a firm's performance. For instance, a company's ability to profit from new products can be severely hampered if it has neglected other functions and business processes. If a company develops a superior new product but is unable to distribute and promote t rapidly, competitors with better distribution systems may copy the product and introduce It into the market before the innovator can profit from its innovation. In contrast, effective distribution, marketing, and accounting systems-that is, strong overall business systems -can act as entry barriers, deterring would-be competitors from entering a particular.

The passage suggests which of the following about companies' investment in the development of new products?

A. Heavy investment in the development of new products is a less risky business practice than most business leaders believe.

B. Companies might invest less heavily in the development of new products if company executives felt equally able to measure the results of investments in all areas of business innovation.

C. Companies are most likely to focus their investment on the development of new products if they perceive competitors to lack strong overall business systems.

D. While investment in the development of new products can bring greater returns to companies than can investment in other areas of a business, the benefits are usually short- lived.

E. It is generally more expensive for companies to invest in the development of new products than to invest in such things as organizational restructuring or the development of new marketing practices.
