The argument suggests that employees in middle management positions should start purchasing clothes from leading fashion designers if they wish to get promoted to senior management positions. The argument is based on a survey of senior managers, where 80% stated that they only bought clothes from leading fashion designers.
Option (A) states: "The senior managers mentioned in the survey only started purchasing clothes from leading fashion designers after they became senior managers."
Upon further consideration, option (A) does weaken the argument. If senior managers only started buying designer clothes after becoming senior managers, it suggests that their clothing choices might not have been a factor in their promotions. This weakens the argument's implication that wearing designer clothes is a strategy for middle managers to get promoted to senior management positions.
