BF 1 = By scheduling projects to minimize slack time, organizations can improve their employees’ efficiency
BF 2 = devised a streamlined workflow design and check-in system that allowed a Brazilian conglomerate to minimize slack time by 80 percent, almost doubling its staff’s efficiency.
first is general claim whereas second supports that claim. i am not sure that there is any conclusion here.
A second is not opinion that supports the conclusions validity.
B no. the first is kind of claim and only second supports that. so out.
C second is not conclusion. reject.
D no, both are not premise. we could say for BF 1 but not for 2. reject.
E this is the best of all. so just select it. but again i am not sure how BF 1 can be conclusion. but this is the closest that we can get.
