CR -- TOUGH 1

The argument talks about two things; high salaries for new employees and complex tasks for inexperienced employees. The argument also tells about about new induction of the employees but does not tell anything about the experience of the new recruits...

I will go with E

The answer is C because:

1) The employees are getting salaries higher than the new employees who does the simple tasks.
2) Their job complexity is also high.

Author asked to reduce the salaries and complexities because he think that the employees aren't competent enough to do these jobs. So he assumes the lack of experience for these new employees.

C, because its been assumed they dont have any prior experience.

I will go with C. Salaries should be reduced because the task are too simple and duties are complex for their experience.

Now the conclusion mentions salaries should be reduced which is related to simple task so the assumption has to be something about the experience.


A - If we apply the negation technique - The duties of the two newest employees are less complex than any others in the company. Does this affect the argument that salaries should be reduced of the new emplyees. No, other employees maybe have more experience and therefore capable of handling complex assignments. The duties of the new employees may still be complex for thier experience and the conclusion is not weakened.

B - if this was weaken the argument question then this might have been the answer but for assumption its not.

C - mentions about the experience and fills the gap between premise and conclusion.

D - The argument is about new employees not barnes.

E - Again with negation test, the argument is not affected.

Sorry for the lengthy explanation. Can someone please mention the OA.

Choice C should be correct. Quite clearly satisfies the premises.

OA is C

Thanks for explanation. :)

i will go with C
