GRE argument 92题目:
The following is a recommendation from the human resources department at Techforce Computer Company.
"Many working parents report that problems related to their childcare arrangements are a major reason for absenteeism from their jobs(1). Bridgewell Corporation, a tele-communications company, implemented an on-site childcare program and after one year, the company reported that unscheduled absences had declined by 25 percent(2,3). Since Techforce has had an increase in unscheduled employee absences(5) over the past year, we should therefore implement our own on-site childcare program(4). The program will undoubtedly reduce our unscheduled employee absences, resulting in significantly increased productivity(6)."
提纲:
(1)Some employees may take childcare arrangements as an excuse for their absenteeism.
(2)The author fails to consider the possible differences between Techforce and Bridgewell.
(3)The author simply assumes that it is the childcare program that resulted in the decline in unscheduled absences at Bridgewell.
(4)The author fails to consider the negative effects caused by the childcare program.
(5)The author unfairly assumes that most unscheduled absences at Techforce are related to childcare problems.
(6)The author’s assumption that the proposed program will necessarily result in increased productivity is unwarranted.
注:题目中括号里的数字表明这句话体现的是提纲中第几号缺陷。
