Question

Against Betty's judgment, her boss decides to market Frankfurter's beef sausages in the town of Xunagshi, believing that it would rake in a huge profit. Which of the following, if true, would prove that her boss's decision is a bad one?

A) There are very few vegetarians in Xunagshi.
B) Due to their exposure to the Western culture, the youth of Xunagshi is more open to fast food than the town elders.
C) The traditional dishes of Xunagshi are more expensive than the beef sausages.
D) Xunagshi has a large Hindu population, all of whom are forbidden from eating beef.

Answer 1

Answer:

D) Xunagshi has a large Hindu population, all of whom are forbidden from eating beef.

Explanation:

This is the situation that could potentially show that her boss's decision was a bad one. In this example, the boss wants to sell beef sausages. Naturally, in order for this to succeed, he needs to operate in a market where there are enough people who enjoy beef. These are the people who would buy the sausages. However, if he is selling sausages in a place with a large Hindu population forbidden from eating beef, then it is likely that this business will not succeed.
