Question ID:PT40 S3 Q25 Passage:Inflation rates will not stabilize unless the rate of economic growth decreases. Yet in order to slow the economy, the full cooperation of world leaders will be required. Thus, it would be overly optimistic to expect stable inflation rates in the near future. Stem:Which one of the following is most closely parallel in its reasoning to the reasoning in the argument above? Correct Answer Choice:DChoice A:If factory safety is a serious concern, each employee must report potentially hazardous situations. Only with full employee participation in the safety program will these hazards be corrected and accidents be prevented. Thus, without everyone's cooperation we cannot expect improved factory safety. Choice B:If the board is serious about improving management efficiency, it must eliminate organizational redundancy. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to eliminate wasteful redundancy without dismissing a number of senior employees. Thus, no option is available but to dismiss some senior employees. Choice C:Only if we thoroughly examine all options will we be able to arrive at the optimal decision. Such a thorough examination, however, will necessitate a delay in the presentation of our proposal. Therefore, we will be able to arrive at an optimal decision only if we delay the presentation of our proposal. Choice D:If we are to produce the safest vehicles possible, we must conduct objective structural tests. However, the performance of such objective tests will inevitably result in huge cost overruns. It is therefore unavoidable that the level of vehicle safety will not be optimal. Choice E:If honesty is the best policy, we should report our company's poor performance in the last year. But if we do so, we will put our jobs at risk and our stockholders will complain. Therefore, we must not report our poor performance.
