The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
has been investigating the treatment of women in a major
financial services firm since a former executive alleged
Line that she had been underpaid, excluded from outings with
5 clients, and denied promotion because of her gender. If
the commission sues the firm, it would be a rare case of
the federal government“s taking up the cause of a highly
compensated professional in a workplace dispute.

12 It can be inferred that the commission views the alleged treatment of the former executive as
(A) possibly representative of a general pattern
(B) clearly showing the need for legal reform
(C) indicative of declining business ethics
(D) posing a sensitive political dilemma
(E) likely to prove difficult to verify

Can someone please tell me the correct answer, and the reason you chose that answer.
I know the answer, but many times when someone asks a question, repliers are more biased toward the correct answer because they know it is.
So, if someone knows the answer, please say it, and tell me why you chose it.

Thanks.
