Help me.. I have two logic questions to ask
Hello, everyone..
I'm now studying a logic part (to fill a blank in a sentence with the most
logically suitable of the given words that makes sense.)
Actually, this is my homework from my private school for university transfer.
I have 10 logic questions to solve and I feel the two of them too difficult to solve on my own...
Somehow, the rest of them, I can handle.
After I fill the blanks with the right answers, I have to translate all the questions into Korean and make a presentation of any chosen question to others in class if I'm chosen to do so.
I think I would look quite funny if I were chosen to present any of them and gave a wrong answer..
Because the homework period is one week, which I think everybody thinks to be quite enough to find the right answers and translate all the questions into Korean,
I would probably be laughed at whether it's a giggle or "laugh out loud."
So, I'm now asking for your help..
Here are the questions :
1) A new idea does not annul any previously existing ideas.
James did not supersede Plato, nor did the Impressionists supersede
the Classicists. A new playwright will not relegate OTHELLO or HENRY
to obscurity. New Ideas __________.
A) are generally superior to old ideas
B) take the place of previous ideas
C) enrich the world by addition
D) are merely revisions of other ideas.
I'm not sure whether the answer is C or D.
2) The general buying public is readily divided into two groups.
One is made of those people who are loyal to a particular brand of product;
the other is characterized by the use of a variety of brands. A toothpaste
advertising campaign that is directed at both of these groups may have
as its slogan, "The formula is the same;__________."
A) the taste is new
B) the price is low
C) tests are conclusive
D) families all agree
I feel that the answer is C, but I can't come up with the suitable reason..

Thanks.. I finally got into the logic class yesterday and learned that the answer for the first question is C, and the answer for the second question is A.. This is a very interesting part because it leads us to think a lot, which I haven't taken time for.. hahaha..
Both of you have been great helps ! Again, thanks :)

For the first question,the answer cannot be the option D,because new ideas are not just revision of old ideas. It has to be the option C.
As for the second question,I think the answer should be option A or option B because the product is being aimed at both kinds of people i.e., people who stick to a specific brand and people who try out different brands and for them to try this brand,there has to be something different or new in it.......so either a new taste or a lower price is a good reason for them to try out a different brand. So,it could be option A or option B......but personally I feel it could be option B.

Question 1: Based on the context of the passage, I believe that D would be the best answer choice. A and B are ruled out based on contradiction, which I'm positive you know. I can see where C is an answer you could think would be correct, however I believe that D flows better with the topic.
Question 2: Actually, I believe the answer for this question would be B. The reason I believe that this would be the best answer choice is because "the formula is the same," is stated to appeal to the loyal customers to the brand, and for the product jumpers, "the price is low" would appeal to them. People who jump from product to product are more likely to go with the lowest priced option, thus making it more appealing to them.
