A report written by advocacy group 4 Day Week Global found that transitioning employees from a five-day to a four-day work week had no long term impacts on productivity or output. Over the course of 18 months, the group collected data on workers in the US, Canada, Britain, and Ireland currently working on a four-day week schedule, including information about sick days, productivity, and job retention. They found that over the course of these 18 months, employees’ wellness, general health, and job satisfaction all improved.Which choice best states the function of the underlined sentence in the overall structure of the text?To summarize the results of the group’s analysiseliminateTo present a specific example that illustrates the study’s findingseliminateTo explain part of the methodology used in the team’s studyeliminate

The results of a 2022 study by Cameron S. McAlpine and her colleagues suggest that sleep deprivation increases inflammation in adults. By combining the measurement of specific immune cells with mathematical modeling techniques, the researchers determined that fragmented sleep can increase inflammation for up to six weeks, even after a sleep deficit is resolved. These findings have important implications for the importance of good sleep.Which choice best states the function of the underlined sentence in the overall structure of the text?To give a specific example in support of the study’s findings.eliminateTo raise concerns about flaws in the study’s data.eliminateTo summarize the study’s methodologies and findings.eliminateTo provide a piece of evidence that undermines the study’s conclusions.

ComprehensionFive young people are having an informal conversation in the office cafeteria on whether private companies should make it a 4-day working week instead of 5 (or 6) working days.  Susie: A 4-day workweek not only improves staff retention, employer engagement and coordination but it also reduces tension. And further, reducing workers’ daily hours to a 4-day workweek has a little negative impact on their morale or the performance of the enterprise. Lisa: I agree with Susie. In fact, a 4-day work model was also tested in Japan’s offices of Microsoft, resulting in a 40% increase in productivity and about 20% reduction in travel costs of employees. In countries such as New Zealand and Sweden too, similar models have proven to be a success.  Henry: I do not particularly agree with Susie’s point. You talk about a 4-day work model reducing the employees stress levels. But what about the additional 2 hours you need to put in for the rest of the 4 days, which disturbs the rhythm of various other routine services? Additionally, I will feel the pressure of taking the call from my teammates or seniors even on my weekly off since they would officially be working on that day. How fair is that? Jack: Hey! Let’s calm down. Let’s not attack each other’s opinions. The purpose of having this discussion is to bring forth the pros and cons of a 4-day work routine to the HR department. Once they get the views from every department, they will be able to design a policy that works for all of us. In fact, we should write down our thoughts, so that we do not forget these thought-provoking reasons.  Chris: Thanks, Jack! I agree with you. Let’s not forget that ‘Change is the only constant’, and in these uncertain times, our company's effort even to think about discussing this radical change is worth appreciating. In fact, any transformative change starts with a healthy, yet critical debate, and opens the door to beautiful possibilities. Based on the above discussion, answer the below questions:Question 2/2MandatoryInfluencingWhich character’s argument made the most sense to you?[This is an opinion poll question.]SusieLisaHenryJackChris
