Quote:
3. The passage suggests which of the following about previous research on homework?
A. It proved that home workers are unqualified for other jobs.
B. It was conducted with home workers and companies over a large geographical area.
C. It indicated that women home workers treated home work as a short term strategy to handle child care.
D. It indicated that home workers usually work for companies that are close to their homes.
E. It indicated that employing home workers was financially advantageous to large companies.
I do not think that at any point in the passage we have discussed anything relatable to large companies. The term has always been 'company'
Hence
E is completely out of the race as it is focusing for a type (large companies) that is not even mentioned in the passage.
Only B and C are the likely contenders. But B is better than C as
B is the only option that is inferred out of the earlier research from the below part of the passage,
"By focusing on a limited geographical area in order to gather in-depth information, the authors have avoided the methodological pitfalls that have plagued earlier research on homework."whereas C is given as a general notion and not mentioned being backed by research, as per passage.
"Their findings disprove accepted notions about home workers: that they are unqualified for other jobs and that they use homework as a short-term strategy for dealing with child care."
