Direction (16-20): Read the following text and answer question number on the basis of the same. Marshal is a paralegal at a law firm. He is amazing at research. He recently found a new method to present the information to the client. However, the associate did not pay attention to his suggestion. Marshal did not like this behaviour. Therefore, he directly went to the partners of the firm without following the line of authority, to present his idea. He approached all the partners to make them cognizant about his suggestion. But, he could not find Mike (Partner) at his designated office cabin. It turned out to be that this particular partner keeps changing his cabin a lot, always leading to chaos whenever someone wants to contact him. After he presented his idea to all the partners, he asked for approval. Without discussing amongst themselves, two partners approved the suggestion while two of them rejected it. This lead to ambiguity in the mind of Marshal whether he can implement the idea or not.
