Please provide explanantions for correct and eliminated answer choices.

Advertisement: Today's customers expect high quality. Every advance in the quality of manufactured products raises customer expectations. The company that is satidfied with the current quality of its products will soon find thta its customers are not. At Hiroshima Corporation, meeting or excedding customer exepectations is our goal.

Which of the following must be true based on the advertisement above?
A. Hiroshima competitors will succeed in attracting customers only if those competitors adopt Hiroshima's goal as their own
B. A Company that does not correctly anticipate the exepectations of its customers is certain to fail in advancing the quality of its products
C. Hiroshima's goal is possible to meet only if continuing advances in product quality are possible
D. If a Company becomes satisfied with the quality of its products,the quality of its products is sure to decline
E:Hiroshima's customers are currently satisfied with the quality of its products


OA will soon follow..

IMO C
Every advance in the quality of manufactured products raises customer expectations. But if there are no more advances possible you can't meet those expectations
The powers of two are bloody impolite!!

C for me as well

A-> we are not concerned with what competitors do..
B-> too extreme to infer..there are other factors apart from customer satisfaction that decide the fate of the company
C->what customer expect-quality..what company need-to meet or exceed customer satisfaction, implies that to meet or exceed quality (sounds like a mathematical equation :D )
D-> too strong a choice to be correct
E-> can't infer that, Customers may or may not be satisfied

This is an OG problem:

Quality Advancement is correlated to Customer Expectations.

At Hiroshima Corporation, meeting or exceeding customer expectations is our goal.

Hence, Quality advancement has to occur continuously to meet to exceed Customer Expectations.

Hence my answer C).
