PrepTest 126 - Section 3 - Question 19

Show summary

Bureaucrat: Support The primary, constant goal of an ideal bureaucracy is to define and classify all possible problems and set out regulations regarding each eventuality. █████ ██ █████ ███████████ ████████ ██ ██████ █████████ ███ ███ ██████████ ██ █ █████████ ███████ ██ █████████████ ████████ ███ ███████████ ███ ████████ ██ █████ ███ ███ ██████ ███ ███ ████ ██████ ██ █████ ███████████ ████ ████ ██ ██████████████ ██████ ██ ████████████

Summary

In an ideal bureaucracy, regulations will always be expanding. The bureaucrat supports this by combining characteristics of an ideal bureaucracy with a conditional:

Characteristics: An ideal bureaucracy needs to solve all potential problems, and listen to complaints.

Conditional: If a complaint reveals a problem, regulations are expanded.

Notable Assumptions

The bureaucrat has made an assumption about the complaints. We were given a conditional that results in guaranteed regulation expansion (which is the conclusion we need), but we weren’t given a trigger for it.

We need to know that the complaints will not stop, and that ideal bureaucracies will always receive complaints that reveal new problems.
