1000 CR

by koooldude » Tue Jul 08, 2008 8:36 pm
The president of a consulting firm analyzed the decisions made about marketing by her clients and concluded that the decisions were correct only about half of the time.
The conclusion above depends on the presupposition that
(A) companies can be successful even when about half of the decisions they make about marketing prove to be wrong
(B) companies hiring her consulting firm make no more incorrect marketing decisions than do companies in general
(C) executives consistently making correct marketing decisions rarely enlist the aid of a consulting firm
(D) marketing decision are just as likely to be correct as they are to be incorrect
(E) it is possible to classify a marketing decision properly as being either right or wrong

IMO E bcoz only if a marketing decision can be correctly classified as either right or wrong then the consulting firm can arrive at a conclusion.


Thanks!

ITS E

Negate E:it is not possible to classify a marketing decision properly as being either right or wrong

The argument falls apart.


Thanks.

I would go with option E as the correct option
