Icandy, Good question!!! Initially I marked E but later I found A is correct OA (after checking my reasoning with Technext  ). For the 2nd BF, the key is - however, use of a title can facilitate an executive’s dealings with external businesses. Clearly, corporations should adopt the compromise of encouraging their executives to use their corporate titles externally but not internally, ... I think we need to zero-in on why the examiner provided this part (adopt the compromise) of argument. This is the drawback, which Choice A says for not adopting the titles for external businesses.

I spent 3-4 min. It did not go waste. My answer is A. 1st bold face: talks about a strategy that has been already adopted. 2nd bold face: A feature of the using executive title. So adopted strategy has a drawback.

Back and forth between A and E. A just seems a lot more clear.

I was also struggling between A and E. Ultimately I went with A by assuming what Technext had assumed.

I will go with A.

A and E ..... I picked E But icandy's justification of A as answer seems to be flawless too.. I did not like the word drawback for some reasons and chose E. Lesson learnt: Not sure yet

Yup, I also got E. Were it not for Technext's detailed explanation on A I would never have understood the logic. Thanks
