Leviathan, a company based in the United States, is planning to only hire American candidates, trained in marketing and sales, who speak 2 or more languages fluently. The reasoning behind the decision is that these bilingual or multilingual employees will help the company move easily into emerging markets, where English is usually not the first language of consumers.
Which of the following is an assumption of the author?
A Language is the only major obstacle blocking Leviathan from entering emerging markets.
B Other companies have successfully implemented this strategy in recent years.
C Many American employees would resist being transferred to emerging markets.
D Leviathan would have to provide language courses to its employees to prevent their language skills from becoming atrophied.
E Leviathan would pay for the cost of transferring American employees to developing countries.

Assumption: Seems like language barrier is the only factor stopping them from entering the market
A Language is the only major obstacle blocking Leviathan from entering emerging markets.
Correct, matches with pre-thinking
B Other companies have successfully implemented this strategy in recent years.
Doesn't matter. We don't need this to be true.
C Many American employees would resist being transferred to emerging markets.
[color=#e82a1f]Doesn't matter. Also, it is assuming a transfer to emerging markets, but that's not mentioned anywhere. They can do remote work. We don't need this to be true.
D Leviathan would have to provide language courses to its employees to prevent their language skills from becoming atrophied.[/color]
[color=#e82a1f]Doesn't matter, we are not concerned with how they will maintain the employee skills but more with how only the language can help enter the market. We don't need this to be true.
E Leviathan would pay for the cost of transferring American employees to developing countries.[/color]
[color=#e82a1f]Similar to C. It is assuming a transfer to emerging markets, which isn't mentioned anywhere and bearing a cost. We don't need this to be true.[/color]
