Working Conditions

by f2001290 » Wed Jun 20, 2007 3:54 am
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
employees’ 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 of 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) A battery of sets performed on Company
P’s employees one month ago revealed no
significant psychological stresses or
problems.

I am more inclined towards B than D becoz B is not at all associated with the conclusion hence cannot weaken the same..

Thanks
