Hi,
In this question I choose option b because in option c it is written that program failed and the training programmes are conducted but the plan failed of training programme so that's y option c is wrong because it talks about the training programmes but option c is implying that the plan which company made for the business failed completely. so can someone please tell where am I going wrong.

Hello Experts!

Can you please say why Option B is incorrect? Is it because the last phrase "the programs did not succeed as expected because_____" is concerned with the characteristics of the program and not its participants?­

Thanks in Advance :)

It is a good question.
The key statement to focus here is - "Despite a warm reception in the initial days", which means employees attended the program in initial days.

A) most employees were not interested in the training programs.
If employees were not interested, then it would not have had warm reception in intial days..WRONG

B) the employees were not inspired to attend training after their working hours
If employees were not inspired, then it would not have had warm reception in intial days..WRONG

C) the training proved inadequate for practical, smooth transition from one department to the other.
Employees received it warmly but gradually, they found it inadequate and hence the program did not succeed...CORRECT

D) the employees did not like most of the training programs
If employees did not like most of the training program, then it would not have had warm reception in intial days..WRONG

E) the employees were not interested in changing departments
If employees were not interested, then it would not have had warm reception in intial days..WRONG
