One study found that although government policy and the industrial sector in which a company operates can influence its productivity and financial strength, management decisions have at least as great an impact on a company's performance.

A. management decisions have at least as great an impact

C. manager decisions impact greatly


A is the correct OA.

Here is the explanation for C.

(C) This choice tells us only about the impact of management decisions ("have a great impact") rather than drawing a comparison between the impact of management decisions and the impact of government policy and the industrial sector of a company. Additionally, “manager decisions” is awkward relative to the more commonly used term “management decisions.” Finally, decisions do not "impact on" performance; they impact performance.


Can anybody explain the bold part of the explanation. The correct option uses the same thing.

Thanks

Hi PC,

In General we try to retain the meaning stated in the original statement.

Although the Choice C fits , it changes the meaning so A is the best it.

In the original statement a comparison between "government policy and the industrial sector " and " Management decision".

If you choose C, the "although" in the original sentence becomes meaningless.

Thats what confused me. The bold part is also MGMAT's explanation why C is wrong.
