Toughest Verbal Questions Discussion

by PankajD885 Sun Jan 25, 2015 2:57 pm

Hi, I have given GMAT exam lately but wasn't able to get a satisfying score [660(Q 48, V 32)]. I would like to have a discussion on verbal questions that i found to be perplexing during my practice sessions. I request everyone to share his/her views on the questions. The first question is

Que :

Below is an excerpt from a letter that was sent by the chairman of a corporation to the stockholders.

A number of charges have been raised against me, some serious, some trivial. Individuals seeking to control the corporation for their own purposes have demanded my resignation. Remember that no court of law in any state has found me guilty of any criminal offense whatsoever. In the American tradition, as you know, an individual is considered innocent until proven guilty. Furthermore, as the corporation’s unbroken six-year record of growth will show, my conduct of my official duties as chairman has only helped enhance the success of the corporation, and so benefited every stockholder.
Which of the following can be properly inferred from the excerpt?


(A) The chairman believes that all those who have demanded his resignation are motivated by desire to control the corporation for their own purposes.
(B) Any misdeeds that the chairman may have committed were motivated by his desire to enhance the success of the corporation.
(C) The chairman is innocent of any criminal offense.
(D) The corporation has expanded steadily over the past six years.
(E) Any legal proceedings against the chairman have resulted in his acquittal.

I won't reveal the OA right away because that will make the discussion centered only on the correct answer, but i ll do share it after a few opinions

Hello, thanks for your post! Unfortunately, this is not the correct folder in which to post problems from the exams (or any problems). This folder is only to discuss overall study strategy issues.

Verbal questions should be posted in one of the Verbal-specific folders, depending upon the source of the question. Please read the forum guidelines to see which sources are acceptable and which folders you should use depending on the source.

We also recommend that you search for the problem before posting. Depending on the source, there's a good chance that someone else has already posted the problem, in which case you can add to the existing discussion (and we can then keep all discussion for a problem within one thread).

Good luck with your studies!
