In this Senior Management post we need someone who can keep a cool head in a crisis and react quickly to events. The applicant says he suffers from a phobia about flying, and panics especially when an aircraft is landing and that therefore he would prefer not to travel abroad on business if it could be avoided. He is obviously a very nervous type of person who would clearly go to pieces and panic in an emergency and fail to provide the leadership qualities necessary for the job. Therefore this person is not a suitable candidate for the post. Which of the following is the best statement of the flaw in the argument above?
A.
It assumes phobias are not treatable or capable of being eliminated.
B.
It assumes that the person appointed to the job will need to travel abroad.
C.
It assumes that a specific phobia indicates a general tendency to panic.
D.
It assumes that people who stay cool in a crisis will be good leaders.
E.
It fails to take into account other qualities the person might have for the post.
