The geese that gather at the pond of a large corporation create a hazard for executives who use the corporate helicopter, whose landing site is 40 feet away from the pond. To solve the problem, the corporation plans to import a large number of herding dogs to keep the geese away from the helicopter. Which of the following, if a realistic possibility, would cast the most serious doubt on the prospects for success of the corporation's plan?
A. The dogs will form an uncontrollable pack.
B. The dogs will require training to learn to herd the geese.
C. The dogs will frighten away foxes that prey on old and sick geese.
D. It will be necessary to keep the dogs in quarantine for 30 days after importing them.
E. Some of the geese will move to the pond of another corporation in order to avoid being herded by the dogs.

Other options are out of scope.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

For this question, we have a problem: something is blocking the helipad. It turns out it is a flock of geese. The plan is to bring in dogs to scare the geese away. The question is asking us to find a flaw in this plan.

Remember, the basic problem is something is blocking the helipad. So if the dogs chase the geese away but form an uncontrollable pack, then guess what could be blocking the helipad :).

Thus the answer is (A).

(E) may be tempting. But remember the geese are blocking the helipad. If they are chased away to another corporation's pond, they are no longer blocking the helipad. Problem solved. The plan is effective.
