Assumption

Assume that everyone in your group has received a new note book except you.
The fact above, if true, best supports which of the following responses.

A) confront your supervisor regarding why you are being treated unfairly
B) Assume this is a mistake and talk to your supervisor
C) Manage a new note book from one of your colleagues
D) Complain to supervisor
E) Leave the job


I don't have the correct answer. But I would like to go with "B".

What is the source of this question ?

A - what about not receiving a new notebook and being treated unfairly. There may be some other reason for me not getting the new one -- the notebook was over by the time my number came, ....
So we cannot infer about being treated unfairly.
and confronting my supervisor is an action !! this cannot be the inference.

B - same error like A !!

C - this is dependent on my action. - i may leave the class, i may go and hit the teacher..so many -- the stimulus speaks none

D and E - same error of result.

None fits. What is the source ??

I found it in a practice test of a local GMAT tuition provider. I really doubt it as GMAT question.
