Question 29

Mr. Garcia may have to order from a competitor.

If Mr. Garcia does not receive the full order of 500 units of pebbles, he may need to seek out an alternative supplier to fulfill his requirements for the upcoming event. This conclusion follows logically from his expressed concern about the insufficient shipment.

A) Mr. Garcia's event this coming Saturday will go on as planned.

This option is incorrect as it contradicts the situation described in the extract. With only 250 units received, Mr. Garcia cannot fully meet the needs of his event, indicating that it may not proceed as planned unless the remaining units arrive.

B) Mr. Wilson's company will be sued for the amount of the order.

This option is not supported by the extract. While Mr. Garcia expresses dissatisfaction, he does not indicate any intention to pursue legal action; rather, he mentions a potential refund request if the full order is not fulfilled.

C) Mr. Garcia may have to order from a competitor.

This option is correct, as it directly relates to the consequences outlined by Mr. Garcia. The extract suggests that without the required units, he may need to find another supplier to ensure his event is adequately supplied.

D) Mr. Wilson's company will find it difficult to continue in business.

This option lacks context and is too broad. The extract focuses specifically on the issue of the order and does not indicate any overarching financial problems that Mr. Wilson's company may face as a direct result of this situation.

Conclusion

The correct answer, C, logically follows from Mr. Garcia's predicament regarding the incomplete order. He is likely to seek alternatives if the full shipment is not received, which aligns with his immediate need for the pebbles. The other options either misinterpret the situation or introduce irrelevant consequences that are not supported by the extract.
