CEO of a company: Let’s not use recycled plastic in the manufacture of our products. The products of our company should be of good quality and therefore we cannot use inferior plastic to manufacture them.
The Purchase Manager: Recycled plastic is not necessarily inferior. In fact, from the beginning, the finest of plastic material has been made of recycled material. It was only in the late 60s that plastic began to be made from pure and naturally available raw material, and only then because there was no longer enough waste plastic available to meet the demand for plastic world over.
In which one of the following ways does the purchase manager’s response fail to address the CEO’s objection to recycled plastic?
A) It assumes that the CEO is concerned about the environmental issues that affect our world. B) It assumes that the CEO understands the basic technology of manufacturing plastic. C) It does not consider the CEO’s valid concern about the quality of products. D) It does not consider the fact that the CEO’s prejudice against the recycled plastic is a result of ignorance. E) It uses irrelevant details to justify a claim about the quality of the disputed product.
