Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the Domino Grace CEO's argument?
A) The current proposal calls for all Kryptos' employees with outstanding benefit packages to keep them in the merged company.
B) Shareholders of Domino Grace tend to support the merger.
C) According to the charters of both companies, any savings from reducing benefits would be recorded in a post-merger report.
D) A recent economic downturn has reduced the ability of many in the financial services industry to find new jobs.
E) Kryptos provides paths to advancement that are faster than those offered by most companies in the industry.
Answer: E
Explanation: E) The concern about benefits is a real one, but it can't be the only factor in the merger. Maybe some of the other factors will provide good news. If Choice E is true, then a merged company might provide faster paths to promotion. This strengthens the view that education and communication would help. Choice A would support the argument if the Domino Grace employees got to keep their benefits, but Choice A says that the Kryptos employees are the ones who get to keep them. Choice B says that the shareholders like the deal, but they aren't the ones who are resisting change. It's the employees of Domino Grace who are at issue here. Choice C says that they wouldn't be able to keep savings secret, but why would they want to? Choice D suggests that the Domino Grace employees have less bargaining power, which should make them more nervous about the change.
