Accuplacer Practice Test

A four-day workweek is implemented in order to increase productivity and decrease absenteeism. Both positive outcomes, increased productivity and decreased absenteeism, are directly tied to the implementation of the shortened work week. Option A only represents one potential reason for implementing a shorter work week, but it does not necessarily mean it will have the desired outcome. Option B does not indicate any cause or effect relationship between the adoption of a four-day workweek and potential outcomes. Option C is unrelated to the topic of a shortened work week and does not provide any information about cause and effect. Option D directly states the cause and effect relationship by connecting the implementation of a four-day work week to the desired outcomes of increased productivity and decreased absenteeism.
