Question
To improve workplace productivity, the management of
XYZ Ltd. introduced a policy requiring all employees to start their day with a 30-minute team meeting. The management believes this will encourage collaboration and communication among team members, ultimately improving performance. Which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument?Solution
The argument assumes that mandatory morning meetings will increase productivity by improving collaboration. Let’s evaluate each option: Option A: Supports the idea that mornings are good for engagement, which strengthens—not weakens—the argument. Option B: Also strengthens the argument by linking communication and productivity. Option C: Directly weakens the claim. If employees lose time for focused individual work due to meetings, then the meetings might actually reduce overall productivity, not improve it. Option D: Talks about improved sales but does not show causality linked to the meeting policy. Irrelevant. Option E: Encouraging issue-raising during meetings is neutral or supportive, not weakening.
