City Controller: 63% of our residents voted to approve the developer's request to build a national chain hotel on the site of th

e old consignment store. The hotel will increase our revenue base and, therefore, provide more money for schools and community services.Mayor: But our recent survey showed that the most important reason people want to live here is our small-town feel resulting from the local ownership of the vast majority of businesses.
What is the best explanation for the apparent contradiction in opinions cited by the controller and the mayor?

a) Most people believe having a small-town feel is more important than having quality schools.
b) A locally-owned business might be able to generate as much revenue as a well-known hotel chain.
c) The recent survey did not ask about preferences for a chain hotel versus a locally-owned bed and breakfast.
d) An increase in the town's revenue base may not result in additional money for the schools.
e) The recent survey cited by the mayor polled people who are considering moving to the town.

Answer:

E. The recent survey cited by the mayor polled people who are considering moving to the town.

Explanation:

The last option best demonstrates the contradiction in opinions of the city controller as he is considering the votes of the local residents but what Mayor overlooks is the number of people moving to the towns. Thus, <em>this contradicts their initial survey that provides a scope for the growth of businesses due to being supported by locals but that is not the case due to people migrating to towns. Therefore, option E best contradicts the opinion of the Mayor and the City controller.</em>

Levart [38]

Answer:

Because all cultures and ethnics have different ways of approching a problem.

Explanation:

For example if you are from a 3rd world country then you may be considered "woke" because you have expierenced hardship. So when you see a problem, you work as hard as you can. But if you are from a country like the USA, you may look at a problem and try to fix it but in the end, give up. That is why most of the great companies in America are comprised of immigrants.

Hope this helps : ) !
