Which statement expresses Mason's disagreement about time allocation most effectively?

Which statement expresses Mason's disagreement about time allocation most effectively?

• A. We should allocate time equally between existing client work and new business
• B. I feel the company would benefit more if I spent my time searching out new business
• C. I should dedicate all time to the current client
• D. I quit if not approved

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how to express disagreement about how to spend time by linking a different use of time to tangible company benefits. The statement that Mason believes the company would benefit more if he spent time finding new business clearly argues for a different priority and explains why it matters—improving the company’s future prospects by pursuing new opportunities. It goes beyond a personal preference and shows a rationale for changing how time is allocated based on expected outcomes. The other options either propose a different split without tying it to overall company value, push an extreme focus on one area, or express a drastic ultimatum not directly about reallocating time.
