One tax-reform proposal that has gained increasing support in recent years is the flat tax, which would impose a uniform tax rate on incomes at every level. Opponents of the flat tax say that a progressive tax system, which levies a higher rate of taxes on higher-income taxpayers, is fairer, placing the greater burden on those better able to bear it. However, the present crazy quilt of tax deductions, exemptions, credits, and loopholes benefits primarily the high-income taxpayer, who is consequently able to reduce his or her effective tax rate, often to a level below that paid by the lower-income taxpayer. Therefore, ______

Television picture quality improves as resolution increases. However, the resolution at which a given improvement in resolution becomes visible varies with the distance of the viewer from the screen. As a viewer moves closer to the screen, a given improvement in resolution eventually becomes noticeable, finally conferring its "full benefit" at a point at which moving closer would not improve the viewing experience.
On the graph, 480p, 720p, 1080p, and 1440p represent four common degrees of resolution: greater numbers indicate greater numbers of pixels on the screen and thus greater resolution. Shaded portions show the distances at which these resolutions become noticeable, while the broken lines show the maximum distances at which a viewer with normal eyesight would be expected to experience full benefit-all as a function of screen size. For each resolution and screen size shown, there is a small gap between the maximum distance for full benefit from the resolution and the minimum distance for noticeable benefit from the next higher resolution.
(Note: 3 feet is roughly 1 meter, and 1 inch is roughly 2.5 centimeters.)
Assuming that the information contained in the graphic correctly applies to all viewers, select from the drop-down menus the options making the statements most accurate.

The more Colombian beans in a blend of coffee, the better the blend, and no company purchases more Colombian beans than Kreemo Coffee, Inc. So it only stands to reason that if you buy a can of Kreemo's coffee, you're buying the best blended coffee available today.
The reasoning of the argument in the advertisement is flawed because it overlooks the possibility that

Company J is reducing its information technology (IT) staff by one-half but is requiring the IT department to continue meeting all the IT needs of the employees. IT managers plan to accomplish this by investing in a computer program that relieves employees of the need to remember their passwords for logging in to Company J's numerous office systems. Half of the IT staffs time is currently spent on password-related assistance, so once the program is implemented, Company J can make the required staff cuts.
Which of the following would it be most useful to know in order to evaluate whether the IT managers' plan is feasible as a means to continue meeting the IT needs of the employees?
