Reasoning There are two studies referred to in the passage. The first study mentions inconsiderate bosses and high blood pressure as actual findings. The second study discusses incompetence and the risk of cardiac illness. However, it only discusses the employees' perception of their bosses as being incompetent – it makes no objective claim to have shown that the bosses were in fact incompetent.

The European Space Agency (ESA) is the body which decides the scope and direction of European space initiatives. It is funded by its participating states, currently 18 in number. Each contributes according to its own economic power. The body controls the funding of existing activities such as the Planar rocket and space station projects but is also responsible for the initiation of new projects like a new generation of weather satellites. Some of the programmes are compulsory but others are not and member states are free to choose in which of the latter they will become involved. There is a direct correlation between the amount of money that a state agrees to invest in a programme and the amount of benefit it can expect in return through contracts awarded to its domestic space industry. ESA directors are keen to maintain a high level of funding from its member states even in times of global economic downturn. They believe that a longer term view is needed.
