9. Manager: When Sullivan was passed over for promotion, people said that the deciding factor was his being much older than the competition. But this is clearly not the case. Several recent promotions have been given to people older than Sullivan. The manager’s argument is most vulnerable to criticism because it fails to consider the possibility that (A) Sullivan was well qualified for the promotion (B) age is only one of a number of factors that kept Sullivan from being promoted (C) people often associate age with experience and good judgment (D) the people older than Sullivan who were promoted had no younger competitors (E) Sullivan’s employer tries to keep deliberations involving promotion decisions confidential
i'll post the OA later, wanted to see what you guys get

sorry i was watching this. Well the idea is lone horse in the race will win. Similarly, if there was no younger employee to be promoted then obviously older people will get promoted.
The manager asserts that Sullivan was passed over for a reason and that reason does not hold true. To criticize the arg you have to say the "same" reason exist. i.e. if there are younger employees they will get promoted in the org for the org to remain competitive. what a discrimination LOL
D for me as well. The reasoning is that the competition needs to be seen when evaluating whether a person was unfairly passed over or not. The clue was manager's example that could not be construed as a general case because of insufficient info on competition for the older guy who got promoted.
