Human Resources Director: Some people dislike their jobs but still go to work every day because they feel that it is ethically wrong to miss work. Others enjoy their jobs but sometimes miss work because they genuinely believe that they are too sick to work or that they might infect others if they go to work.

Which one of the following most reasonably completes the argument?

(D) assess the trustworthiness of employees who claim that they must miss work because they are ill

Human Resources Director: Some people dislike their jobs but still go to work every day because they feel that it is ethically wrong to miss work. Others enjoy their jobs but sometimes miss work because they genuinely believe that they are too sick to work or that they might infect others if they go to work. This makes it difficult to ____________.
Which one of the following most reasonably completes the argument?
The passage says absenteeism does not reliably show whether someone likes or dislikes a job. Some dissatisfied employees may still attend regularly, while some satisfied employees may miss work for legitimate health reasons. So absenteeism is not a reliable indicator of job satisfaction.
(A) determine whether employees absent from work more often than others are any less fearful of losing their jobs
Wrong. The passage is not about fear of losing jobs.
(B) maintain accurate absenteeism records for all the different employees of a company
Wrong. The passage does not say records are hard to maintain. It says those records may be hard to interpret.
(C) draw any conclusions about an employee's job satisfaction from his or her absenteeism record
Correct. The examples show that low absenteeism does not necessarily mean job satisfaction, and high absenteeism does not necessarily mean job dissatisfaction.
(D) assess the trustworthiness of employees who claim that they must miss work because they are ill
Wrong. The passage says some employees genuinely believe they are too sick to work, but it does not focus on evaluating honesty.
(E) make any reliable predictions about an employee's future behavior from his or her absenteeism record
Wrong. Too broad. The issue is not predicting future behavior generally, but judging job satisfaction from absenteeism.

- Some people who dislike their jobs still feel obligated to go.
- Some people who like their jobs stay home sick.

Unsupported. The stimulus doesn’t discuss people who are, or aren’t fearful of losing their jobs
Quote:
Unsupported. The stimulus doesn’t suggest what’s required for maintaining accurate absenteeism records, so we have no reason to think that maintaining such records is difficult.
Quote:
Strongly supported. We know that some people with low job satisfaction are never absent, while some people with high job satisfaction are sometimes absent. So it’s difficult to draw any conclusions about a person’s job satisfaction solely based on whether, or how often, that person is absent.
Quote:
Unsupported. The stimulus doesn’t suggest that anyone is being dishonest when missing work, nor does it suggest what’s involved in assessing someone’s trustworthiness. So we have no reason to think that assessing trustworthiness is difficult.
Quote:
Unsupported. We have no information about whether there are, or aren’t, patterns in people’s behavior over time, or how those patterns relate to absenteeism. Perhaps satisfied employees who stay home sick do so predictably, and unsatisfied employees who always go to work also do so predictably. We have no reason to think it’s difficult to make reliable predictions.
