Question: Each of the following questions has a paragraph from which the last sentence has been deleted. From the given options, choose the one that completes the paragraph in the most appropriate way.
Most firms consider expert individuals to be too elitist, temperamental, egocentric, and difficult to work with. Force such people to collaborate on a high- stakes project and they just might come to fisticuffs. Even the very notion of managing such a group seems unimaginable. So most organizations fall into default mode, setting up project teams of people who get along nicely.__________________________
Option 1 is eliminated for ‘disastrous’ – the passage does not justify it – because they get along well.
Option 3 is eliminated since there is no evidence to suggest that experts are created from “project teams who get along nicely”.
Option 4 is eliminated because there is no evidence in the passage to suggest that “they drive innovation”.
Option 2 talks about the result of this ‘default mode’ where expert individuals are excluded and the selection is on the basis of conformity which is mediocrity.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
