Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.
Employees complaining about mundane tasks are often ignored. There is a listlessness
that settles around them. A bored employee may continue to produce good results, but
that can also be because the tasks are repetitive, and the outcomes are expected.
Which of the following options can be BEST inferred from the passage?
Let's look at each option individually:
Option A: Although close, this option introduces the idea that listlessness is produced only around good performers, while the passage implies that it affects employees in general. While not a sure shot elimination, we can look at other options.Â
Option B: This sense of urgency by "immediate" and the call for action is absent from the text and can be eliminated as an option.Â
Option C: This has the same flaw as option A, where it focuses on the good employees, and the idea of boredom is not said to be the cause but the mundane tasks creating listlessness, which results in boredom .
Option D: This extreme option can not be inferred from the text.Â
Option E: This is what the passage is hinting towards. Since outcomes are consistent, even if the employees are listless and bored, the organization might not find out about this and might overlook this change since performance is maintained.Â
Hence, of all the given options, only E can be inferred from the text.Â
