chetan2u, why can't the answer be "
the employee has received a significant amount of money from the sale" and "the company has plans to expand into publishing" as it is mentioned in the passage that - [color=#0f0f0f]Any idea or invention conceived of by employees that is related to Company X’s past, present, or future business is owned exclusively by Company X, not the individual employee. & The employee may not use or exploit that idea or invention for his or her personal benefit.[/color]
That pair doesn’t work because the two statements aren’t logically connected. The employee earning money doesn’t prove the work is related to Company X’s business, and the company’s future plans to enter publishing don’t establish ownership. The correct pair links the use of company resources (writing on a company computer) with the rule that any such use makes the work related to the company’s business.
