8. E
   It is given that L is stop two, we know that P is on stop three and stop six is M. Now we also know that N is the stop immediately before L. Hence N is stop one. Also by the process of elimination and from the premise that O is before Q, O will be stop four and Q five. Therefore Q must be the stop immediately before M.

   

9. A
   In case a passenger gets on the bus at O, then it follows naturally that O is stop one. Then the second alternative and third are false, since it is mentioned that he rides past one of the stops and gets off at P. That makes P the third stop. Q is stop two because of the stated premise - O is the stop immediately before Q. Also M is stop six (as per the given premise). Therefore N will be stop four and L will be five following from th given premise. Hence all other alternatives are false. Only O is stop one is true.

10. C
    As the survey concludes that marriage is fattening, it would naturally compare the data with survey of single people of comparable age. Hence the most appropriate answer in evaluating the reasoning presented in the survey would be C. The rest are not appropriate.

11. A
    The principal point being made in this passage is that classical works demand our respect and admiration even if their ideas are no longer current. It accentuates the discussion that the classical scholarly works seem imperishable, but the particular views expressed in them are often superseded by newer views, with the result that they survive, venerable and imposing yet unsuitable unless remodeled. The rest are weakening statements of the central point.
