Question

Statement: Should seniority be the only criterion for the promotion?

Arguments:
I. No. It would be an injustice to those juniors who are more deserving and suitable for higher positions than their senior counterparts.

• A. None is strong
• B. Only I is strong
• C. Only I and III are strong

Answer 1

The correct option is B Only I is strong

In an organization, what matters most is productivity and to ensure productivity, the organization needs to have effective managers and innovative, devoted and hard-working employees. Thus, the capability of the individual should be the only criterion for promotion. So, only argument I holds strong, while II and III do not.
