Can someone help me understand how D is correct and not E for the second blank?
I understand that there has to be a contrast between the two sets of managers. Since the second lot considers the environmental management systems as extraneous, the first set of managers would find them useful. Having said that, I see no evidence for ‘uncritical acceptance’.
In fact, the opposite of extraneous is necessary and ‘appropriate acknowledgement’ would make sense.
Thanks,
