Quote:
Background: A company introduced mandatory health check-ins to reduce employee absenteeism.
Premise: The company often faces high absentee rates, which is why they introduced the policy.
Premise: Research indicates that such mandatory check-ins can lead to feelings of surveillance among employees, which will potentially decrease their job satisfaction.
Conclusion: The check-ins might not reduce absenteeism as intended.
A. This is further background info, which we don’t need.
B. This is irrelevant. We’re talking about this policy and its relation to potential dissatisfaction, not some other causes of dissatisfaction.
C. This connects the decreased job satisfaction with employee absenteeism, which is a necessary assumption for the argument to work.
D. This is irrelevant. We’re concerned with the current policy and reaction, not past behaviors in different situations.
E. This weakens the conclusion by degrading its connection to the second premise, so it can’t be a necessary assumption.
Best answer is C.

(A) This emphasizes user error as the root of the problem, rather than addressing a misperception or misunderstanding.
(B) This centers on low productivity without tackling any misperception.
(C) This counters subjective feedback with objective survey data but does not address a perception influenced by an external factor.
(D) This disputes effectiveness but fails to address a misunderstanding caused by an additional factor.
(E) This closely mirrors the developer's response. Both clarify that a perception of slowness or length that stems from changes in a secondary aspect (feature complexity or editing) rather than the primary issue which is processing speed or movie length.

The argument suggests that health check ins could lead to feelings of surveillance, which might reduce job satisfaction, and therefore, absenteeism might not decrease as intended. This implies that job satisfaction is an important factor in influencing absenteeism.
Looking at the options,
(A) Focuses on implementing the health check-ins without addressing the job satisfaction - Incorrect
(B) Compares the surveillance effect to other potential causes of dissatisfaction, not necessary - Incorrect
(C) Talks about job satisfaction affecting the rate of absenteeism - Correct
(D) Mentions voluntary health reporting but doesn’t relate directly to the impact on absenteeism - Incorrect
(E) Assumes no negative reactions to other monitoring, which is irrelevant to the argument about surveillance causing job dissatisfaction - Incorrect
