Of all the magazines sold in supermarket checkout aisles, only a handful sell with any regularity. Numerous studies have suggested that at least for some products, sales can be boosted if customers perceive that a retailer holds a large stock of that product. Apparently a large stock signals popularity and thus makes a product seem more desirable. Therefore, supermarkets could increase overall magazine sales if they displayed more copies of each slow-selling magazine and displayed fewer copies of each reliable seller. Which of the following would, if true, cast the most doubt on the soundness of the proposed strategy to increase magazine sales? A. Customer loyalty suffers if a retailer fails to stock adequate supplies of certain popular product B. The studies in question focused only on consumers' preferences and buying habits for food items. C. Customers who come to shop in supermarkets generally do so to buy groceries, not to buy magazines. D. Large displays of a product can signal to a customer that a product is popular, but not when the product is displayed at an unusually low price. E. Magazines placed at eye-level tend to sell more than those placed at higher or lower levels.
Consultant: Innovation is fostered by frequent exchange and discussion of relevant ideas, but business work spaces divided into individual offices and cubicles encourage employees to work in relative isolation. So, employees whose work requires them to innovate will generally be more productive if assigned to work at desks in large office space without dividing barriers. Which of the following is an assumptions which the consultant's argument depends? A. In larger office spaces without dividing barriers, employees whose work requires them to innovate would more often discuss relevant ideas with each other than in other office settings. B. Discussing ideas at work reduces the time that employees would otherwise spend alone working on innovative ideas. C. In work spaces divided into individual offices and cubicles, employees whose work does not require them to innovate are sometimes more productive than in large open work spaces. D. Most of the ideas employees exchange and discuss at work are consciously considered by those employees to be directly relevant to innovation in their work. E. Business consultants generally recommend that innovative employees be assigned to work at desks in larger office spaces without dividing barriers if that will make them more productive.
