PT 58, Section 1, #16...Corporate businesses, nec assumption
Posted: Sat Sep 17, 2011 1:35 pm
I feel that both C and E are necessary.
If you negate (C):
Different corporations do not have different core core corporate philosophies.
Well if that were inserted into the argument, it would destroy its conclusion of "sometimes a business can survive only by becoming a different corporation.
The stimulus is:
Survive ---> Adapt
Sometimes, adapt ---> Change core corporate philosophy
____________________________________________________
Therefore, sometimes, survive ---> becoming different corporation
So, the assumption is: change core corporate philosophy ---> become different corporation
And this is what E states and I agree that this is a correct answer.
However, isn't C also necessary? Isn't necessary for the different corporations to have different philosophies? If they did not have the different philosophies, there would be no change!
