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.
I think we discussed it earlier and I wasn't convinced then even by
OA.. If workers will not go on strike then how the conclusion will be true i.e.
So, some of Bell’s subsidiaries will be sold.
If E is an assumption, that means that workers will not take anything other than increased wages so Bell has to sell some subsidiries.. Suits very well and make a good assumption..
Can you please post OE for this question? I need to understand where am I wrong.. I got this question wrong twice..
