At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Tang bureau is criticized for shutting down all of Wal-Mart’s stores in the city for two weeks as some of the Wal-Mart stores were selling ordinary pork mislabeled as organic pork. The bureau’s officials stated that they acted fairly since Wal-Mart has been cited for 21 cases of selling expired or substandard food and false advertising in the city.
Which of the following must be considered to evaluate whether Tang bureau is being fair while shuttering Wal-Mart Stores?
A. Whether the bureau has taken explicit permission from the government to shutdown Wal-Mart Stores.
B. Whether the other cases against Wal-Mart involved mislabeling of pork or mislabeling of other meat.
C .Whether mislabeling food products is a criminal felony punishable by law.
D. Whether all the Wal-Mart stores in the city were selling mislabeled pork.
E. Whether other retailers with similar history of mislabeled products have been handed similar punishments.

I think the answer is E.
In my opinion, answer E is the best option.
Quote:
Even if it has, it doesn't mean that bureau's decision was FAIR. They got the permission to close all Wal-Mart Stores, but they didn't have to do it.
Quote:
Even if the other cases didn't involve mislabeling of pork/other meat, it doesn't mean that the other stores didn't break the rules in some other way and that bureau's intervention wasn't fair.
Quote:
If it's not a criminal felony, it doesn't mean that these activities aren't classified as misdemeanour and still be punishable by law. Thus, the bureau had basis for closing the stores and it doesn't necessarily mean that its decision was unfair.
Quote:
It's more tricky, but kind of similar to answer B. Some Wal-Mart stores could sell mislabeled pork and all the other could e.g. sell expired meat, making it fair to close all Wal-Mart stores.
Quote:
Knowing this can help us in assessing FAIRNESS of bureau's decision. If some other retailer was also involved in such bad practices and his stores weren't closed (or not all of them were closed), it'd be unfair to shut down all Wal-Mart stores. But if they were closed, it'd be justified to do the same in Wal-Mart case.
In my opinion, answer E is the best option.
