31.The function of government is to satisfy the genuine wants of themasses, and government cannot satisfy those wants unless it is informed aboutwhat those wants are. Freedom of speech ensures that such information willreach the ears of government officials. Therefore, freedom of speech isindispensable for a healthy state.
Which one of the following, if true, wouldNOT undermine the conclusion of the argument?
(A) People most often do not know what theygenuinely want.
(B) Freedom of speech tends ultimately toundermine social order, and social order is a prerequisite for satisfying thewants of the masses.
(C) The proper function of government is notto satisfy wants, but to provide equality of opportunity.

(E) Rulers already know what the peoplewant.
32.An unbiased observer of everyday encounters in Western societies
would surely not find many instances of unkindness by people under 65 toward
people over 65. There are undoubtedly incidents of unkindness based on age, and
these warrant reproof. However, the very fact that such reproof occurs and is
generally accepted implies that our Western societies basically respect the
elderly. The same conclusion can be drawn from a recent survey finding: 71
percent of the under 65 population agreed with the statement that“people
over 65 receive too little respect from society”, whileonly 44percent of the over-65 population, the target of the alleged irreverenceagreed with it.
The author concludes that Western societiesbasically respect the elderly partly because.
(A) people under 65 are just as kind topeople over 65 as they are to people of their own age group
(B) survey data suggest that fewer peopleover 65 than under 65 get too little respect
(C) disrespect for the elderly does not goso far as to result in actual harm
(D) survey data suggest that people over 65are more aware of incidents involving disrespect to the elderly than are peopleunder 65
(E) incidents of unkindness to the elderlyare neither common nor generally accepted in Western societies
