Question

Frances Diane · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Annabelle's argument is that forming a union is challenging, and choice B strengthens her argument by stating that a union needs to convince a majority of workers to have a common goal. This implies that there may not always be a consensus among employees on the benefits of forming a union, making the process of unionization harder. The other answer choices either weaken Athelia's argument or are irrelevant to the discussion.
