    Question

    In each question below is given a statement followed by

    two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement. Statement: "To reduce employee turnover, the company should introduce a flexible working-hours policy," suggested the HR Director to the CEO. Assumptions: I. A flexible working-hours policy can help employees feel more satisfied and thus reduce turnover. II. Employee turnover in the company is mainly caused by rigid working hours.
    A Only assumption I is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only assumption II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Neither I nor II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both I and II are implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The HR Director recommends a flexible working-hours policy as a solution to reduce turnover.
    This means the suggestion is based on the belief that such flexibility will help retain employees → Assumption I is implicit. The statement does not specify that rigid working hours are the main reason for turnover. Turnover could be due to many other reasons.
    Therefore, Assumption II is not implicit. Thus, Only Assumption I is implicit.
