An internal survey revealed that some employees at Company Y had called in sick in order to take care of a sick child. The company's CEO instituted free on-site day care in hopes of reducing the number of employees engaging in this practice. However, the number of employees who called in sick to care for a sick child was actually higher in the sixth month of the on-site day-care program than it had been the month before the program was instituted.
Each of the following, if true, might account for the free day-care plan's apparent lack of success EXCEPT:
1. Many parents at Company Y employ nannies, who care for both sick and healthy children.
2. Many parents declined to use the day care for fear that their sick children would catch a second illness from another sick child.
3. The on-site free day-care center is noisy, hot, and uncomfortable.
4. The sixth month of the on-site day-care program happened to fall at the height of flu season.
5. During the six-month period in question, the number of employees at Company Y increased by 25%.
I had picked up 5 while correct answer is 1.
I think 1 does give reason for its failure as if they have nannies then they will not go for the new program.
