reserved. BLZ Stores, an established men’s clothing retailer with a chain of stores in a major
metropolitan area, is selecting a plan for expansion. Using the facts below, write an essay in which you argue
for one of the following plans over the other based on the following two criteria: •The company wants to
increase its profits. • The company wants to ensure its long-term financial stability. The “national plan” is to
open a large number of men’s clothing stores throughout the country over a short period of time. In doing this,
the company would incur considerable debt. It would also have to greatly increase staff and develop national
marketing and distribution capabilities. Many regional companies that adopted this strategy increased their
profits dramatically. A greater number tried and failed, suffering severe financial consequences. BLZ is not well
known outside its home area. Research indicates that the BLZ name is viewed positively by those who know it.
National clothing chains can offer lower prices because of their greater buying power. BLZ currently faces
increasingly heavy competition in its home region from such chains. The “regional plan” is to increase the
number and size of stores in the company’s home region and upgrade their facilities, product quality, and
service. This could be achieved for the most part with existing cash reserves. These upgrades would generally
increase the prices that BLZ charges. In one trial store in which such changes were implemented, sales and
profits have increased. The local population is growing. BLZ enjoys strong customer loyalty. Regional
expansion could be accomplished primarily using BLZ’s experienced and loyal staff and would allow continued
reliance on known and trusted suppliers, contractors, and other business connections. WP-L030B

… no “right” or “wrong” choice … If a “right” choice does not offer, how does “wrong” place? Many
optionals and one chooses failure of a right answer.

Among, the testing form does not place order the hypothetical reasonably: Facts, Plans, Criteria—case
study method—123, 321. It appears to offer LSAT sectionals of a Logical Reasoning Question with a
general aggregate positional of the “semi-colon” betwixt each itemization word and the LSAT proves
answered, again at 325 scoring. I seek credit,’ for the 325 score. “B; L; Z; Stores.; an; … “

Continuing, writing examination places these hypothetical items randomly of a sort, as offering a
solution does not exist—other than initial WIDGET statement of “BLZ” ‘n’ Stores” alignment of
mathematics demand supply chain established collapse, adjustment. Another, the criteria are
contradictory with established of expansion, “increased profits, financial stability.” Another, BLZ offers
an attached loop systemizing of supply demand; demand supply collapse acceptance. Another, one
does not “upgrade … .” Another, one does not enter ‘use’ “cash reserves.” Another, the “Plans” stated
randomly do(es) not offer anything really of financial stability. “By those who ‘know’ it.” Reasonable
argumentative reciprocities provide(s) collapse and without a route. The hypothetical appears
imbedded in collapse and without a right answer, other than contractual opportunity. Your ‘es/say’ …

A reasonable ‘argument’ cannot be made for either than other “opportunity reasonability.” How it goes
