A Confidential survey revealed that 75 percent of the employees of Company P are dissatisfied with their jobs. However, an investigation into working conditions at the company showed nothing uncommonly bad . Therefore, Company P's consulting firm concluded that the employee's dissatisfaction must result from an unusually high incidence of psychological problems on their part.

Each of the following, if true, casts doubt on the consulting firm's conclusion EXCEPT:

A. In the investigation of working conditions, no account was taken off the fact that for the past year many Company P employees worked on a joint venture with company O, at Company O's facilities

B. Workers in many companies are dissatisfied although there are no apparent problems with their working conditions.

C. The consulting firm's conception of what constitutes uncommonly bad working conditions is not identical to that of Company P's employees.

D. The reasons given by Company P's employees for their dissatisfaction varied greatly from employee to employee

E. The battery of sets performed on Company P's employees one month ago revealed no significant psychological stresses or problems.

Nope, it's D. The conclusion of the argument is that employee dissatisfaction is caused by employees being crazy.

The only choice that doesn't weaken that conclusion is D. D strengthens it by basically saying that each employee in that company has their own brand of crazy, since they all gave different reasons for being unsatisfied.

It should be C.

It the definition of working condition is not same for employee and the firm then It means that the working conditions might be the reason for dis-satisfaction.

IMO D..
From B it can be inferred that there can be other factors beyond working conditions that might effect the dissatisfaction. which casts doubt on conclusion ..however from D since the responses are varied it can be said that there is no common company problem and dissatisfaction can be due to varied personal reasons,which supports the authors claim.

pls publish the OA and OE.
