Most employees in the computer industry move from company to company, changing jobs several times in their careers. However, Summit Computers is known throughout the industry for retaining its employees. Summit credits its success in retaining employees to its informal, nonhierarchical work enviroment.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports Summit's explanation of its success in retaining employees?

A. Some people employeed in the computer industry change jobs if they become bored with their current projects.
B. A hierarchical work enviroment hinders the cooperative exchange of ideas that computer industry employees consider necessary for thie work.
C. Many of Summit's senior employees had previously worked at only one other computer company.
D. In a nonhierarchical work enviroment, people avoid behavior that might threaten group harmony and thus avoid discussing with their colleagurs any dissatisfaction they might have with their jobs.
E. The cost of living near Summit is relatively low compared to areas in which some other computer companies are located.

[spoiler]O.A.: B[/spoiler]

I first chose D, since I think D relates more info. about nonhierarchical work enviroment which the question asks to strengthen than the hierarchical work enviroment which choice B stated.

IMO B

The key in this question is to stick to the point what is asked..we are asked to find the point which supports the SUMMIT'S explanation:-

The explanation talks about:- informal, nonhierarchical work environment

Op A:-- we can't say that a "informal, nonhierarchical work environment" make the job interesting

Op B:-- It somewhere suggests that a hierarchical work environment leads to employee dis satisfaction and SUMMIT'S using just the opposite system nonhierarchical work environment. hence strengthen their explanation

Op C and Op E:-- out of scope...our scope is what is asked from us and these points go beyond that

Op D:-- It actually weakens the SUMMIT'S explanation hence wrong

D does not mention anything about retention.
Even B tells us about the demerits of a hierarchical work environment .So do we understand that this point tells us about the merits of a non hierarchical work environment
I Seek Explanations Not Answers
