Read the memo below before answering the question. TO: All Staff FROM: Human Resources RE: Award Nominations As the year comes to a close, please consider nominating a coworker for the Employee of the Year award. This award is sponsored by the company and is intended to recognize an employee who has exhibited consistent, excellent performance throughout the year. Please keep the intended purpose in mind when considering a nominee. Once all nominations have been received, a committee of managers and employees will make the final selection. Please submit your nominations no later than Friday, December 5th. What is a logical conclusion based on the information given in the memo?

Answer

An employee will be selected from the nominee pool shortly after December 5th.

Rationale

The memo states that nominations are due by December 5th and that a committee will then review the nominations to make a final selection. This sequence of events logically implies that the selection process will take place soon after the nomination deadline has passed, since the committee cannot act until nominations are in.
