In the question below, a passage is given followed by a

Solution

The conclusion in the passage is that all companies should adopt flexible working hours to improve employee productivity and satisfaction. The strongest support for this conclusion would come from evidence that the benefits of flexible working hours are not limited to specific sectors but apply across various industries and job roles. This suggests that flexible working hours can universally improve productivity and satisfaction, making C the most supportive statement. A weakly supports the conclusion by addressing job satisfaction but doesn't directly address the link between flexible working hours and productivity. B weakens the conclusion by suggesting that factors other than working hours are more important for productivity, which undermines the argument. D is irrelevant as it focuses on other benefits that are not directly related to the core argument about flexible working hours. E is also irrelevant because it limits flexible working hours to certain industries, which contradicts the broader applicability needed to support the conclusion. Thus, the correct answer is C.
