GOVT EMPLOYEES

Expert replies

In the effort to fire a Civil Service employee, his or her manager may have to spend up to $100,000 of tax money. Since Civil Service employees know how hard it is to fire them, they tend to loaf. This explains in large part why the government is so inefficient.

It can be properly inferred on the basis of the statements above that the author believes which of the following?

I). Too much job security can have a negative influence on workers.
II). More government workers should be fired.
III). Most government workers are Civil Service employees.

OA IS A

WHY IS B INCORRECT?

Answer choices :

(A) I only
(B) I and III only
(C) II only
(D) I, II, and III
(E) III only

Please post your queries at the end and not in the middle of the question.

I - generalization of what the argument tries to convey
II - no mention about any other government workers.
III - There is no information in the argument to support this claim.

So only A fits here.

IMO A
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

WHY IS B INCORRECT?
II). More government workers should be fired.
>> We do not know from the given information whether author wants more government workers to be fired or take some other measures such as warning by supervisor or salary cut etc, so we cannot infer this.

III). Most government workers are Civil Service employees.
>> We do not know from the given information whether most govt. workers are Civil Service employees. It is very much possible that Civil Service employees wrok only on senior post, so we cannot infer this.
