The workers at Bell Manufacturing will shortly go on strike unless the management increases their wages. As Bell's president is well aware, however, in order to increase the worker's wages, Bell would have to sell off some of its subsidiaries. So, some of Bell's subsidiaries will be sold.

The conclusion above is properly drawn if which one of the following is assumed?
(A) Bell Manufacturing will begin to suffer increased losses.
(B) Bell's management will refuse to increase its worker's wages.
(C) The workers at Bell Manufacturing will not be going on strike.
(D) Bell's president has the authority to offer the workers their desired wage increase.
(E) Bell's workers will not accept a package of improved benefits in place of their desired wage increase.

what is the answer :

IMO C
We can draw conclusion that the president will fulfill workers' demand.
(A) Bell Manufacturing will begin to suffer increased losses. (if this happens , it will weaken the conclusion)
(B) Bell's management will refuse to increase its worker's wages. (if this happens , it will weaken the conclusion)
(C) The workers at Bell Manufacturing will not be going on strike.
(D) Bell's president has the authority to offer the workers their desired wage increase. Bell would have to sell off some of its subsidiaries. So, some of Bell's subsidiaries will be sold. This means that president has the authority to some extent. This is stated so cannot be assumption
(E) Bell's workers will not accept a package of improved benefits in place of their desired wage increase. (out of scope)

The conclusion above is properly drawn if which one of the following is assumed?
(A) Bell Manufacturing will begin to suffer increased losses. Out of Scope
(B) Bell's management will refuse to increase its worker's wages. Bell will not need to sell the subsidiaries. So wrong.
(C) The workers at Bell Manufacturing will not be going on strike. Right Answer
(D) Bell's president has the authority to offer the workers their desired wage increase. Extra Information which we do not need. Out of Scope.
(E) Bell's workers will not accept a package of improved benefits in place of their desired wage increase. We do not need this information.Out of scope

IMO E.[/b]
