Which of the following is most strongly suggested by the statements above?
A) The problems that affected the Alpha Supplement project were typical of the problems affecting projects in this organization.
B) There were no actions that the project leaders could have taken that would have solved the controlling problems of the Alpha Supplement project.
C) The insufficient time allocated for product development was the only failure related to planning.
D) If the project leaders had located alternate component providers, the Alpha Supplement project still would have failed.
E) The failure of the Alpha Supplement project will make it more difficult for other projects to be approved.
Answer: D
Explanation: D) The planning failures guaranteed failure all by themselves. Therefore, the project would have failed even if the other problems (such the component provider problem in Choice D) weren't there. Choices A and E are outside the scope of these claims. We don't know what typically happens (Choice A). Although it is possible that later projects will have a hard time getting approved (Choice E), the passage doesn't say what will happen in the future. Choice B: For all we know, the problems related to controlling were fixable. We just know that they were bad. Choice C: There could have been other problems related to planning.
