Question

As every resident of a major metropolitan area knows, driving to work is a pain. It is not unusual for workers to have over an hour commute to work. Highways and roadways could be cleared out if workers travelled to the office at different times. Another solution would be for workers to perform their tasks at home over the computer or telephone. If companies adopted flex-time and satellite home offices, workers would be less stressed and productivity would increase overall.

A) People should quit working for major corporations.
B) Employees are frustrated with long commutes to work.
C) People should take the bus or train to work because it is a more environmentally friendly way of commuting.
D) As highways become more congested and commute times becoming increasingly longer, companies should consider flex-time or satellite offices.
