Direction: Read the passage and answer the following question

A study conducted among employees in a technology company revealed that providing regular training and development opportunities led to increased job satisfaction and reduced turnover rates. Employees who received ongoing training felt valued and were more likely to stay with the company.

 

Question

Which of the following arguments most closely parallels the reasoning used in the passage?

 

Option: 1

 In an analysis of volunteer programs in a nonprofit organisation, it was observed that volunteers who received recognition and awards for their contributions reported higher levels of satisfaction and continued their volunteering efforts. Recognizing volunteers' contributions increased their sense of value and commitment.

 

 


Option: 2

In a research study focused on public transportation improvements, it was found that the introduction of more frequent and reliable bus services led to increased ridership and reduced car ownership rates. Enhanced public transportation options provided convenience and reduced the need for personal vehicles.


Option: 3

In a study of customer loyalty programs in a retail chain, it was noted that customers who received exclusive discounts and rewards for their loyalty continued to shop at the same store. Offering incentives to loyal customers increased their sense of value and brand loyalty.


Option: 4

In a survey of students in an educational program, it was discovered that those who received regular feedback and mentoring from instructors demonstrated higher academic performance and persistence in the program. Providing support and guidance increased students' sense of competence and commitment.

The reasoning in the passage is as follows: Providing regular training and development opportunities to employees led to increased job satisfaction and reduced turnover rates because employees who received ongoing training felt valued and were more likely to stay with the company.

Option D closely parallels this reasoning by stating that students who received regular feedback and mentoring from instructors demonstrated higher academic performance and persistence in the program because providing support and guidance increased students' sense of competence and commitment. Both arguments involve providing support and opportunities (training and development or feedback and mentoring) leading to positive outcomes (job satisfaction and reduced turnover or academic performance and persistence, respectively) by making individuals feel valued and committed.

Option A discusses volunteer programs and recognition but does not parallel the structure of the original argument.

Option B discusses public transportation improvements and ridership but does not parallel the structure of the original argument.

Option C discusses customer loyalty programs and incentives but does not parallel the structure of the original argument.
