Which of the following, if true, strengthens the report's claims about the ethical culture at Macmoo?

A) No employee who has failed to meet all of his or her corporate responsibility goals is eligible for promotion.
B) Employees who apply for the tuition reimbursement program must agree to work at Macmoo for at least three years after their studies are completed.
C) Determining the ethical culture in an organization is more difficult than determining that organization's culture with respect to risk and innovation.
D) Macmoo's efforts toward establishing an ethical culture are similar to those taken by other organizations in Macmoo's industry.
E) The real estate industry is subject to specific responsibilities that go beyond the normal client-agent relationship.

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Having goals is a good sign, but if Choice A is true, then Macmoo employees need to take those goals seriously and achieve them in order to be promoted. Choice A supports the belief that ethics really is important at Macmoo. Choice B makes Macmoo sound more mercenary, which weakens the argument. Choice C says it is difficult to tell whether an organization has an ethical culture, but that tells us nothing about Macmoo. Choice D says that Macmoo is typical, but we don't know if that's good or bad. Choice E says that the standards of acceptable behavior are relatively high, but we don't know if Macmoo meets them.
