C) High intellect does not always help in thinking on the feet.
D) In training people to be professionally successful, any focus on intellect would lead to only partial results.

Professional success is often attributed to high intellect.
But in practice, the reality is different : as to resolve professional challenges , we need to think on feet.
So, High intellect doesn’t always lead to professional success.
We need to find the assumption.
A) People who are able to think on their feet need not possess high intellect to be professionally successful.
This makes a statement that people who think on feet, to be professionally successful need not possess high intellect. Which can be or cannot be true. There can be instances where the person holds a high intellect, and still was able to think on feet , and resolve professional challenges. Hence, wrong.
B) Professionally successful people are those who are intelligent and can also think on their feet.
This option mentions all professionally successful people are those who are intelligent and can also think on their feet. But, that’s not necessarily true. Professional success is often attributed to high intelligence, and not always attributed to. There is a subtle variation between these two. Hence, Wrong.
C) High intellect does not always help in thinking on the feet.
This is a correct assumption. If we consider the option, High intellect does not always help in thinking on feet, then the conclusion high intellect doesn’t lead to professional success holds true.
if we negate the option, high intellect always leads to helping to think on feet. Which means the conclusion, high intellect people are always professionally successful. This contradicts the conclusion. Hence, correct answer.
D) In training people to be professionally successful, any focus on intellect would lead to only partial results.
This option speaks that people can be trained to be professionally successful. But, the passage doesn’t speak about the training imparted to enhance professional success. Hence, wrong.
E) Many non-intelligent people can think on the feet when it comes to professional problem-solving.
We cannot outrightly deny these aspect nor can be support it. Since a statement is made about intelligent people, more specifically highly intelligent lot, doesn’t necessarily mean those conditions apply to everyone. Hence, wrong.
Option C
