Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: A. trick
A stalking horse is a trick or ploy used to deceive someone. In this case, the trade union is using its seemingly rightful demand as a way to blackmail the management.
The other options are incorrect because:
- A proposal is a formal offer to do something.
- A pretence is a false appearance or show.
- A suggestion is a proposal or recommendation.
