<p>Need some help on how to support a certain answer on these kinds of questions. I'll type up the short passage and the question.</p>
<pre><code> The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has been investigating the treatment of women in a major financial services of women in a major financial services firm since a former executive alleged that she had been underpaid, excluded from outings with 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.
</code></pre>
<p>It can be inferred that the commission views the alleged treatment of the former executive as</p>
<p>(A) possibly representative of a general pattern
(B) clearly showing the need for legal reform
(C) indicative of a declining business ethics
(D) posing a sensitive political dilemma
(E) likely to prove difficult to verify</p>
<p>If someone could explain their reasoning and stuff for the answer they choose and why its right that would be helpful.</p>
<p>thanks</p>
