[QUOTE="George Maxwell, post: 90706, member: 17165"] Hi [USER=4098]@futuretraineesolicitor[/USER], Great question. This is my thinking, as it has been a little while since I did the WG, so I might well be wrong. I interpreted this question as on focusing on the likelihood of the type of content that a "cross cultural business training workshop" would have. We cannot be 100% sure about this using common knowledge, but we have strong indications of what the content is likely to be, so the answer is [I]Probably False[/I]. Breaking this down: We cannot be certain that the statement is false. We cannot be absolutely sure what the content of the workshop was as there is no explicit statement to that effect. Instead we have a very strong indication, provided by the name of the workshop, the background of those that attended and their feedback, that the content of workshop would not have focused on a single ("this") country. Using common knowledge it seems [U]unlikely[/U] that a "cross cultural" workshop would be focused entirely on doing business in a single country. The workshop is being provided to managers "scheduled for international assignments". Thus it can reasonably be inferred that it is likely that the content of the workshop relates to this fact, especially given that these managers "voluntarily attended". "Cross cultural" work in this context might even reasonably be understood as meaning something similar to "international" work (as this is, I think, its ordinary usage). "Cross cultural" implies that the training is intended to help employees understand working between different cultures (and using common knowledge, we can infer that cultural differences (when doing business) exist most prominently between different countries). In addition to the above, we know that this workshop was provided to managers "scheduled for international assignments" and that "all of the managers reported that the quality of training was high and focused on valuable work that could be [I]immediately[/I] applied". Given that the attendees were scheduled for international assignments, their feedback concerning the immediate utility of the content of the workshop might infer that they are referring to its usage when undertaking international work.
