QUESTION
Which of the following, if true, most weakens the Domino Grace CEO’s argument?
A) Kryptos’ stable finances offer outstanding long-term stability.
B) Both Domino Grace and Kryptos use a variety of tools to communicate their corporate cultures, such as stories, awards, and special employee-only events.
C) Kryptos’ latest offer involves paying a higher price to Domino Grace shareholders if the combined company adopts Kryptos’ benefits policy.
D) Domino Grace divisions are assigned based on the customers they serve, and not functional areas.
E) Kryptos has announced that it would follow Domino Grace’s policies for attracting and retaining talent.
ANSWER
Answer: C
Explanation: C) Education and communication make sense when the resistance is due to misinformation. But if Choice C is true, then it stands to reason the employees would resist even harder if they knew the truth. Choices A and E strengthen the claim that education and communication would help. Choice B, if anything, suggests a similarity, which supports the education and communication approach. Choice D tells us something about Domino Grace but nothing about Kryptos. If the approaches were very different, then Choice D might be relevant, but as it stands, Choice D makes no difference.
