And those superiors share the same fear of being seen as lacking control of their units that they fail to fully investigate potential problems and bring them up the chain to you. Consequently, General, you\u2019re likely presiding over several security threats that you\u2019ll never know about.<\/p>\n<p>Which of the following is an assumption required by the consultant\u2019s logic.<\/p>\n<p>A.   The general is responsible for the culture that exists within his chain of command.<br \/>\nB.  All soldiers near the bottom of the chain of command are fearful of being disciplined for security breaches.<br \/>\nC.  The general does not have sources other than the chain of command to alert him to security concerns.<br \/>\nD.  Some soldiers do not fear authority figures more than they fear genuine security threats.<br \/>\nE.  There is not a feasible incentive system to reward soldiers for conscientiously pointing out security concerns.<\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/military-consultant-the-chain-of-command-in-your-unit-is-marred-by-a-189013.html\">Question Discussion &amp; Explanation<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Correct Answer<\/strong> <span style=\"background-color:#fff;color:#fff\">- C -<\/span> (click and drag your mouse to see the answer)\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Like these questions?<\/strong> Get the GMAT Club question collection: <a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/tests\/\">online at GMAT Club<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fentity%2FGMAT-Club%2FB0048PPF3U%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dntt_athr_dp_pel_1&tag=gmatclub-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957\">on your Kindle<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=PJTlq5NYqfE&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=blog&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fgmat-toolkit%252Fid328345537%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30\">on your iPhone\/iPad<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/category\/blog\/gmat-tests\/\"><strong>Browse all GMAT Questions of the Day<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to GMAT Question of the Day:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=GMAT-Question-of-the-day&amp;loc=en_US\">E-mail<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/GMAT-Question-of-the-day\">RSS<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Math If , is ?
