company policy: an employee of our company must be impartial, particularly when dealing with family members. this obligation extends to all aspects of the job, including hiring and firing practices and the quality of service the employee provides customers.

which one of the following employee behaviors most clearly violates the company policy cited above?

(a) refusing to hire any of one's five siblings, even though they are each more qualified than any othe applicant

(d) repeatedly refusing to advance an employee, claiming that he has sometimes skipped work and that his work has been sloppy, even though no such instances have occurred for over two years.

A是答案。KAPLAN对D的解释是：one might protest that two years of good work ought to wipe out an employee's bad work history, but that'd be a value judgement independent of the principle.

想请教，可是那A里的they are each more qualified难道不也是a value judgement吗？

谢谢谢谢

what is the question?????

company policy(information only, no argument):  an employee of our company must be impartial, particularly when dealing with family members. this obligation extends to all aspects of the job, including hiring and firing practices and the quality of service the employee provides customers.

which one of the following employee behaviors most clearly violates the company policy cited above?

The question type is generalization:

(a) refusing to hire any of one's five siblings, even though they are each more qualified than any other applicant

This is against the company policy because the five siblings are qualify for the job.

(d) repeatedly refusing to advance an employee, claiming that he has sometimes skipped work and that his work has been sloppy, even though no such instances have occurred for over two years.

have not occurred for over two year is not a good indicator, an employee can violate company policy many times before take a 2 yrs absent.

this is applying principle question. (A) is clearly violating the policy mentioned. (D) might also violate company policy but not the policy mentioned in the question stem. This answer choice has nothing to do family members at all. 是无关选项。
