Answer 1

Answer:

A). The purpose of this proposal is to show how we can reorganize our department to improve our efficiency while keeping intact the values that have allowed us to succeed to this point.

Explanation:

A purpose statement or a thesis statement is chiefly inclined towards disclosing the intention or purpose of the proposal and indicates the scope as well as the direction of the paper to display where the content is heading towards.

As per the question, option A best reflects the appropriate purpose statement for offering a proposal to one's manager as the disclosure of 'reorganizational strategy to enhance the efficiency of the outcome would reflect your purpose and 'without altering the values that benefit them'(exemplify the positive scope and direction of the claim). Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
