SOURCE 1: From a meeting of upper managers at a company: Unfortunately, we're going to have to fire an employee. I think the cho
ice is pretty clear. The average writer on our team writes 500 words an hour, but Jean only writes 200 words an hour. We need to send a message that this kind of laziness won't be tolerated. Furthermore, she insists on working 40 hours a week, which forces us to give her benefits.
SOURCE 2: From an evaluation written by Jean's supervisor: Unlike the average writer in our company who writes 500 words an hour, Jean writes slowly and methodically. While her output is lower, her attention to detail saves her supervisors hours of editing later on. She is such a big help to our department that I would like to keep her on a 40-hour-a-week schedule so that we can be sure to meet our new productivity goals.
Which claim do the two sources most clearly disagree on?
A.
Jean receives benefits from the company.
B.
Jean's word count is lower than average for a writer at the company.
C.
Jean is an outgoing "people person."
D.
Jean is less valuable to the company than the average writer.
