The argument talks about the robots in Gansett Company, which have been installed on the assembly line.
The amount of time taken to put together its wooden coat racks has improved since this change has taken
place. In order to increase the speed at which the racks are made, the company might need to replace the
remaining human workers. However, this step could prove disastrous for the local economy.
Of the available options, we need an option which will allow Gansett Company to retain most of its workers
without losing money.
Option E(The company will implement a line of artisanal wooden coat racks made
and signed by its human workers) is one of the ways in which we are able to save the local economy while
addressing the concerns caused due to the slowness of the company's human workers.
