Which of the following, if true, strengthens the case for Sam and Nina

QUESTION

Which of the following, if true, strengthens the case for Sam and Nina owning the business in a partnership?

A) Sam and Nina have very different personalities.
B) Sam and Nina have the same skill sets.
C) Sam and Nina are both motivated and energetic.
D) Nina has good leadership qualities.
E) Sam has a strong marketing background.

ANSWER

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Being motivated and energetic are necessary qualities for the demands of business ownership, so if Sam and Nina both have these qualities, it would strengthen the case for joint ownership. Having different personalities (Choice A) or the same skills (Choice B) would not necessarily strengthen the case for joint ownership because those personalities and skills might not be appropriate for ownership. Choice D: Nina having good leadership qualities strengthens the case for her being owner, but not for joint ownership. Likewise, Sam’s having a strong marketing background (Choice E) may strengthen the case for his participation in ownership, but not for joint ownership in particular.
