(单选题)

David Birch claims that he only hires liberal-arts people because ______.

A.they are more capable of handling changing situations

B.they can stick to established ways of solving problems

C.they are thoroughly trained in a variety of specialized fields

D.they have attended special programs in management

参考答案：A

参考解析：

细节理解题。根据最后一段第四句“David Birch claims he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree, ‘I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things,’ says Birch.”可以看出，他认为文科毕业生做事比较灵活，愿意雇佣自由教育之下的人员。canned指“千篇一律的，刻板的”；less-than-canned指“不那么刻板的，灵活机动的”。根据文意，Birch说他只招聘不那么死板的自由教育背景人员，和A选项最符合。故选A。
