Oil company representative: We spent more money on cleaning the otters affected by our recent oil spill than
has been spent on any previous marine mammal rescue project. This shows our concern for the environment.
Environmentalist: You have no such concern. Your real concern is evident in your admission to the press that
news photographs of oil-covered otters would be particularly damaging to your public image, which plays an
important role in your level of sales.
The environmentalist's conclusion assumes that the
A. oil company cannot have more than one motive for cleaning the otters affected by the oil spill
B. otter population in the area of the oil spill could not have survived without the cleaning project
C. oil company has always shown a high regard for its profits in choosing its courses of action
D. government would have spent the money to clean the otters if the oil company had not agreed to do it
E. oil company's efforts toward cleaning the affected otters have been more successful than have such efforts in
previous projects to clean up oil spills
OA is A
but is C the wrong ans because of the following reason? Just want to be sure about my reasoning. It seems like a DS answer choice.
negate C
profits has been motive for not always ( 0 to 99 times); that is 0 to 99 times profit has been motive. so conclusion is true. 1 time no profit motive. concllusion false. both false and true u have. so this cant be the answer
