Question Type:
Inference (Logical Completion)
Stimulus Breakdown:
IF a new system doesn't force employees to adopt new/better ways of working, it won't significantly increase efficiency.
The new MT system is being built to fit the existing ways of working, so …..
Answer Anticipation:
We are given a conditional rule and then a fact we can apply the rule to. If we're building the system to fit existing ways of working, then we're (presumably) NOT forcing employees to adopt new ways of working, so we can conclude that
we WON'T get a significant increase in efficiency.
Correct Answer:
A
Answer Choice Analysis:
(A) Yup! This sounds like the consequence of the conditional rule.
(B) We never spoke about computer malfunctions.
(C) We never spoke about "the leaders" or "what they're concerned with".
(D) We never spoke about whether anything was "worthwhile" (although you might fudge that significant increases in efficiency = worthwhile). We also never compared automatic vs. manual processes.
(E) We never spoke about the difficulty of learning the new system.
Takeaway/Pattern: Our correct answer is just supposed to pull the two strands together. Answers that bring in new ideas (or extreme ideas) should be viewed with utmost suspicion.
