what i sthe OA my option is D. Kindly explain
Hi ruchikaarya41
I’m glad to help.
First, this question comes from Kaplan GMAT 2014 Strategies, Practice, and Review.
OA is E. Second, if you read the question stem carefully, you can understand why E is better than D.
Question stem is : The answer to which of the following questions is
LEAST directly relevant….. It asks you to
compare which answer support the LEAST. It means that D & E may not support the conclusion at 100%, but if D can help even 1%, E helps nothing ==> E is the correct answer.
D.Have other unions successfully employed the same strategy?If other unions employed successfully the same strategy, It would be a good motivation for the union of GrainCorp to apply this strategy. D could help (
even not sure 100%).
E. Is MegaFood the only corporation that operates both grain-processing plants and food stores?You can ask yourself whether this fact helps Union of GrainCorp to win its strategy? No, Because
Megafood is the only corporation that operate both X and Y ==> does not mean Megafood is the only corporation operates only Y. If union boycott against SquareMart food stores, customer can buy food from other stores. ==> The boycott strategy does not help. Hence, E helps the LEAST.
Thus, E is the correct answer.
Hope it helps.
