6. Identify the conclusion (inferential claim) to the following argument:

[1] Japanese companies run more efficiently and effectively since [2] they make group

decisions and [3] do not rely on any single individual decision.

A. Statement (1)

B. Statement [2]

C. Statement [3]

C. Statement [3]

Explanation:

Statement 3 is the inferential statement in the argument, because from the fact that the Japanese companies make group decisions (which is the main reason given for the efficiency of Japanese companies), it is inferred, by logic, that the Japanese companies do not rely on single individual decisions.
