PrepTest 146 - Section 3 - Question 15

Show summary

A good manager must understand people and be able to defuse tense situations. But anyone who is able to defuse tense situations must understand people. Since Ishiko is able to defuse tense situations, she must be a good manager.

b

c

confuses qualities necessary for being a good manager with qualities that guarantee being a good manager

d

overlooks the possibility that different managers defuse tense situations in different ways

e

takes for granted that because all good managers have a certain quality, Ishiko must have that quality
