The geese that gather at the pond of a large corporation create a hazard for executives who use the corporate helicopter, whose landing site is 40 feet away from the pond. To solve the problem, the corporation plans to import a large number of herding dogs to keep the geese away from the helicopter.
Which of the following, if a realistic possibility, would cast the most serious doubt on the prospects for success of the corporation’s plan?
(A) The dogs will form an uncontrollable pack.
(B) The dogs will require training to learn to herd the geese.
(C) The dogs will frighten away foxes that prey on old and sick geese.
(D) It will be necessary to keep the dogs in quarantine for 30 days after importing them.
(E) Some of the geese will move to the pond of another corporation in order to avoid being herded by the dogs.

A--> The only answer choice that makes sense
B--> So what, they need to provide training
C--> We are not worried about the foxes and we are not only worried about the old sick geese. In fact, the old sick ones are likely not the problem.
D--> Keeping dogs in quarantine for 30 days is not discussed as an issue in the statement. There is no time table discussed. Irrelevant.
E--> If the geese move to another pond that is not a problem of this company. Irrelevant.
A--> Correct. If the dogs form an uncontrollable pack that could even render the helicopter pad unusable for the company as they may be more afraid of the dogs than they are worried about the geese.
