Difficulty

Every year, May Seas employees are required to attend seminars that focus on improving the quality of customer service. The budget allocated to these annual seminars is $500,000. Last year, less than 1% percent of May Seas Department Store customers filed a complaint about the quality of service they received from the store's employees. Therefore, May Seas should reallocate $400,000 of the seminar budget to advertising.

Which of the following most weakens the above conclusion?

a, Last year, May Seas was voted Customer Service Provider of The Year.
b, There is a strong positive correlation between May Seas' advertising budget and its revenues.
c, May Seas investigated every complaint received last year, and customers whose complaint was found to be justified received compensation.
d, Complaint forms and boxes are positioned at every entrance to the store, and on the May Seas website.
e, May Seas' advertising budget has grown steadily over the past five years, but the number of customers has not increased.

Option A :- Incorrect
They were recognized for their quality customer service, which stands out; this may be a result of the retraining each year. This rather strengthens the argument.

Option B :- Incorrect
This statement establishes that there is a relationship existing between the advertising budget and its revenue, that is why it was suggested that more should be allocated to the advertisement.

Option C :- Incorrect
We cannot be ascertained if the customers were rewarded as regards to their complaints, it was only established that only a few customers made complaints about customers service which is a reflection of how effective the seminars has been.

Option D :- Incorrect
This was not mentioned as the as one of the programs organized by May seas and hence does not fit into any position to weaken the argument.

Option E :- correct
This statement mostly weakens the idea presented in the argument because, analyzing the question very critically, it is conclusive to say that the quality service department is doing quite fine as a result of the regular funding and such practices should be applied in the area of advertisement for better awareness that can win more customers.
