Passage Summary: A consultant is basically saying 'I told you so' because sales dropped after the company ignored their advice and went with someone else.

Conclusion: The advertising campaign used by LRG was poorly designed.

Reasoning: The consultant predicted a campaign would fail, LRG used a competitor's plan instead, and subsequent sales figures were low.

Analysis: The consultant is falling into a 'correlation equals causation' trap. Just because sales went down after the campaign launched doesn't mean the campaign caused the decline. There could be many other factors at play, such as a weak economy, a bad product, or a competitor's superior strategy. Look for an answer that identifies the failure to consider other possible causes for the decrease in sales.
