Hi

Based on PR's argument, E should be the answer. Can you pls confirm before I explain.

Cheers

What is the source of this CR?

According to the quotation marks, the PR rep states the following:
"In order to retain the best science managers, we offer salaries and bonuses at double the industry standard. Our engineers work with the best science managers in the industry."
The quote above seems to consist only of premises.
The conclusion that engineers at this start-up will produce the best results is not part of the quote above and thus is attributed not to the PR rep but to the PASSAGE.

The question stem seems to imply that the correct answer should support the PR rep's statement in red, but this statement seems to function not as a conclusion but as a premise.
A premise is a FACT; it cannot be supported.

I would ignore this CR.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
