If the Dragon Owls team is created according to Steve’s recommendation

QUESTION

If the Dragon Owls team is created according to Steve’s recommendations, which of the following must be true?

A) Only the departments with a stake in the success of the Dragon Owls project are represented on the Dragon Owls team.
B) The departments with a stake in the success of the Dragon Owls project are the departments with the greatest stake in the success of the organization.
C) Every department that has no stake in the success of the Dragon Owls project is not represented on the Dragon Owls team.
D) All potential members of the Dragon Owls team would agree whether a given department has a stake in the success of the Dragon Owls project.
E) There is no department that has a stake in the success of the Dragon Owls project that is not represented on the Dragon Owls team.

ANSWER

Answer: E
Explanation: E) Steve wants every team with a stake represented. So if Steve gets his way, and having a stake guarantees representation, then any team that isn’t represented must not have a stake in the project. Choice E states this in other words. Choices A and C distort what Steve says. He thinks that having a stake is sufficient for representation, not that it should be necessary. Choice B brings in a new concept, the success of the organization. We don’t know what Steve thinks about that. Choice D: Steve never mentions what people will agree to.
