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.

IMO: A

What would weaken the plans success?

(B) out of scope. the dogs might need training, but could be trained and could be successful. Don't forget, the passage states these are herding dogs

(C) out of scope, foxes praying on old and sick geese??

(D) out of scope, even if the dogs are in quarantine for 30 days when they get out the could do the job. This also introduces time which isn't mentioned in the passage

(E) out of scope, who cares about the other corporation? This plan is for a large corporation, not a number of corporations

What is the OA?

IMO: A, if dogs form a "uncontrollable" pack, then the landing will be dangerous regardless the dogs get rid of geese or not.

B. after the training, the dogs can get rid of geese and the plan would work.

C. If the pack of geese are mostly young and healthy geese, then the plan has no effect on the problem. But if mostly are old and sick, then it would work.

D. After 30 days, the dog can possibly get rid of geese.

E. strengthen the argument in my opinion, because the plan works.

i think all answer choices are bad in this example. out of those available, i'd choose A.

I was confused between A and C but you are right A looks better becoz there can be a possibility that geese which form pack are young and healthy.

In my opinion A is the most logical one.
