Summarize Argument
The author concludes that the decision by Lopez and Simmons to reveal their marriage to Evritech is foolish. This is because their decision will result in one of them getting their job offer withdrawn, and they could have just told the company that they got married after they were already hired.
Identify Conclusion
The conclusion is the author’s opinion about Lopez’s and Simmons’ decision: “Their decision is foolish.”
A
Lopez and Simmons should not both have applied for jobs at Evritech Corporation
The conclusion doesn’t say anything about the initial application to the company.
B
Evritech Corporation’s rule against hiring more than one member of the same family is often not enforced
The conclusion doesn’t say anything about the likelihood of enforcement. Also, the author never suggests that the rule is often not enforced.
C
Lopez and Simmons would be unwise to reveal their marriage to Evritech Corporation without already having started to work there
This is a paraphrase of the idea that their decision is “foolish.”
D
Evritech Corporation should be willing to employ two members of the same family if it is willing to retain two of its employees who marry each other
The conclusion isn’t about what Evritech should or should not do. It’s about what the married couples should have done.
E
Evritech Corporation is not likely to discover the marital status of Lopez and Simmons if they do not volunteer the information
The conclusion doesn’t say anything about what Evritech is likely to discover.
