Multiple choice

Research Head: As Head of the R&D department, I believe that the department has achieved a higher level of research in the projects provided to it because of the number of senior researchers who have brought their experience and lot of funding for the projects. Therefore, if in the future, any junior researcher is given a project by the company pertaining to a very important project, such as designs produced upon plasma tracer screens, the company shall provide a lower amount of funds.

Which of the following is an assumption that the R&D Head makes that would serve to justify the conclusion above?

  1. Any researcher who would be given project essentially for a very specific area brings neither experience nor funds required for the project.

  2. The experienced researchers will not be able to research if the department provides projects to junior researchers.

  3. The department provides a high level of research because it focuses essentially on normal technologies rather than on new revolutionary plasma techniques.

  4. In order to be given a project, one must bring with him experience and funds to the department.

  5. None of these
