A small company has all of its meetings scheduled in locations where any employee can reasonably reach the location of a meeting by walking no more than 5 minutes. This corporation has a meeting policy with exactly three requirements:
These requirements were designed for the following purposes: first, to prevent an employee from spending too much work time in meetings, and second, to allow employees to attend all their meetings and with sufficient time for traveling between any two meetings.
Statement: The ___1___ designed primarily for the first purpose, whereas the ___2___ designed primarily for the second purpose.
Select for 1 and for 2 the options that create the statement that presents the most plausible explanation of the requirements. Make only two selections, one in each column.
- Meetings should not be scheduled during the work hours before 10:00 in the morning or after 3:00 in the afternoon.
- No meetings scheduled for an employee should conflict with any other meetings scheduled for that employee.
- Meetings should begin 5 minutes after the scheduled start time.

A small company has all of its meetings scheduled in locations where any employee can reasonably reach the location of a meeting by walking no more than 5 minutes. This corporation has a meeting policy with exactly three requirements:
These requirements were designed for the following purposes: first, to prevent an employee from spending too much work time in meetings, and second, to allow employees to attend all their meetings and with sufficient time for traveling between any two meetings.
The ___1___ designed primarily for the first purpose, whereas the ___2___ designed primarily for the second purpose.
Select for 1 and for 2 the options that create the statement that presents the most plausible explanation of the requirements. Make only two selections, one in each column.
The first requirement (no meetings before 10:00 or after 3:00) clearly prevents employees from spending too much work time in meetings, so this is tied to the first purpose.
The second requirement (no conflicting meetings) ensures employees can attend all their meetings, and the third requirement (start 5 minutes after scheduled time) ensures they have enough time to travel between them, so both support the second purpose.
So:
1 = first requirement was the only one of the three requirements
2 = second and third requirements were the only two of the three requirements
Not all three fit the second blank because it asks what primarily ensures attendance and travel time. The first rule only caps the meeting window (10 to 3); it does not make attendance feasible. You can still miss meetings within that window if they overlap or lack buffer. The rules that directly secure attendance are the second (no conflicts) and third (5-minute buffer).

The first requirement is "Meetings should not be scheduled during the work hours before 10:00 in the morning or after 3:00 in the afternoon." Focus on the word "...during the work hours..".
Hence it means this requirement is for ensuring that workers dont spend too much time on meetings because no meeting are supposed to be scheduled during the work hours.
The second and the third requirements are for ensuring that workers get enough chance to attend all the meetings. If a meeting conflicts with another meeting and if a meeting starts exactly on time ( and a employee gets late by few minutes to reach the meeting room) , there is a good chance that the employee may miss a meeting fully or partially.
Option 1 and option 4 are the answers.
