Last month, the Johnson's farm had two prefabricated barns, both built by the Olson Company, catch on fire. When the Johnsons decided to replace the damaged barns with new Olson prefabricated barns it surprised many of their neighbors. Normally in the farming community when a piece of equipment is involved in an accident, users become reluctant to buy that product again.
Which of the following, if true, provides the best indication that the Johnson's decision was logically well supported?
A. In the community where the Johnsons live, the main competitor of the Olson Company had a perfect safety record over the last year with no fires or collapses.
B. The Olson Company barns caught on fire due to the negligence of a Johnson Farm employee, but no horses or pigs died because of the excellent fire control features in an Olson barn.
C. The federal government has issued new specifications in recent years that require certain features be introduced into all new prefabricated barns sold in the country starting two years from now.
D. Many key employees at the Olson Company had to be replaced prior to the building of the Johnson's barns because the Olson Company's main competitor had lured them away with better job offers.
E. Over the last four years, the Olson Company has had forty barns catch on fire.
Prefabricated barns built by the Olson Company catch on fire, but still, Johnson wants to buy the same product. It means the fire incident has nothing to do with Olson's built quality.
Look for an answer which supports Johnson's decision.
A. In the community where the Johnsons live, the main competitor of the Olson Company had a perfect safety record over the last year with no fires or collapses. Irrelevant. It doesn't strengthen or weaken Johnson's idea.
RejectB. The Olson Company barns caught on fire due to the negligence of a Johnson Farm employee, but no horses or pigs died because of the excellent fire control features in an Olson barn: Support Johnson's decision as the fire incident was his employee's fault.
AnswerC. The federal government has issued new specifications in recent years that require certain features be introduced into all new prefabricated barns sold in the country starting two years from now: Question Johnson's decision.
RejectD. Many key employees at the Olson Company had to be replaced prior to the building of the Johnson's barns because the Olson Company's main competitor had lured them away with better job offers.: Irrelevant.
RejectE. Over the last four years, the Olson Company has had forty barns catch on fire: out of how much, million, 100 or 40 out of 40? .
Reject
