Question and options

Employers expect managers and leaders to consider the various viewpoints to make thoughtful and tough decisions. Good decision-makers do not get influenced by their emotions or personal loyalty when deciding about the company's betterment. This helps make unbiased decisions and even minimizes the chances of the same problem recurring again. Many companies often choose managers with wrong skills who end up making disastrous decisions. The key components of problem solving skills are analytical and critical thinking, creativity and decision making. Analytical thinkers identify patterns, relationships, and root causes, making it easier to devise effective solutions. Critical thinkers make sure that solutions are not just quick fixes but are grounded in logic and evidence. Problem-solving skills are essential for navigating the complexities of modern life and work. By developing these skills, individuals can become more effective, adaptable, and successful in achieving their goals. Whether in personal situations or professional environments, the ability to solve problems efficiently and creatively is a valuable asset that can lead to improved outcomes and greater satisfaction.

What is the inference drawn from this passage?
  1. The manager should act without emotion and bias.
  2. Problem solving skills helps managers to act without bias while tackling problems.
  3. Managerial skills are required to solve problems.
  4. No special skill is required to solve problems in the office.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - Problem solving skills helps managers to act without bias while tackling problems.
The passage links unbiased, emotion-free decisions to problem-solving and decision-making skills, so the inference is that problem-solving skills help managers tackle problems without bias. 'The manager should act without emotion and bias' merely restates a line rather than drawing an inference, 'Managerial skills are required' is vague, and 'No special skill is required' contradicts the passage.
