Question
In the question below, few statements are given
depicting an issue or a problem. You have to assume everything in the statements to be true even if they are at variance from commonly known facts, and on the basis of the information given in the statements, decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing. Statement: The city health department reported a sudden rise in food poisoning cases linked to multiple restaurants using contaminated packaged spices from a single supplier, SpiceCo. An investigation revealed that the spices were not processed under proper hygiene conditions. Courses of Action: I. SpiceCo should immediately halt production and conduct a thorough inspection of its processing units. II. The affected restaurants should file a lawsuit against SpiceCo for supplying unsafe food materials. III. The government should ban the sale of all products manufactured by SpiceCo.Solution
The root cause is contamination at SpiceCo’s production facility. Course I is logical: halting production and inspecting units directly addresses the problem. Course II may or may not be necessary and is not a direct solution to preventing future incidents. Course III is extreme and not justified by the information; contamination may be limited to a batch or unit. Hence, only Course I logically follows.
