6. Analyst: This Corporation is currently putting all its efforts into maximizing short-term profits.
Whatever happened to our traditional philosophy of slow, steady growth and emphasis on long-
term profitability? One aspect of the problem is seen in simple mathematics. Of our 57 district
managers, only 7 have been with the corporation for five years or more. In addition, only 5 of our
16 vice-presidents and only 2 of the 9 members of the board of directors have been with the
corporation for five years.
Which of the following conclusions does the author of this passage most probably want the reader
to draw?
(A) The corporation needs to seek leadership from outside sources if it is to remain profitable in
the long run.
(B) One of the reasons that the corporation's traditional financial goals have been ignored is that
very few of its high-ranking employees have much experience with the corporation.
(C) The only reason that the corporation's traditional financial goals have been ignored is that
