Question

Choose the best inference based on the following statement from a corporation president: “Our employees are the greatest resource we have.” a. The speaker is an environmentalist and wants to preserve resources. b. The speaker is concerned that employees will be lazy. c. The speaker is willing to improve workplace safety. d. The speaker will not allow OSHA or the EPA to inspect their job site.

Answer 1

The speaker is willing to improve workplace safety.

Answer 2

The only thing the employer says is that the company's best resource is the employees. His statement has nothing to do with the EPA, nor has it anything to do with any environmental concern.

That eliminates d and a. His concern is not laziness. He wouldn't be praising his workers if he was. So B is now gone as well.

The only thing left is C. This is an inference question, so the right answer can be inferred. He's concerned about the well being of his employees.

C <<<< answer.
