Psychologist Dr. Marcus Thorne and his team investigated how natural light in workspaces affects employee productivity. Thorne hypothesized that employees working in offices with large windows receive more natural light and, as a result, complete their daily tasks faster than employees working in offices with only artificial lighting. Which choice, if true, would most directly support Thorne's hypothesis?

  1. Employees in offices with large windows completed their tasks, on average, thirty minutes faster per day than those in windowless offices.Cevap
  2. B
    Employees in offices with large windows reported higher levels of overall job satisfaction than those in offices with artificial lighting.
  3. C
    Office buildings constructed with large windows are generally more energy-efficient than buildings that rely entirely on artificial lights.
  4. D
    Employees working under artificial lighting reported that they preferred working near windows even if it did not change their productivity.

Cevap

Employees in offices with large windows completed their tasks, on average, thirty minutes faster per day than those in windowless offices.
The correct answer directly supports Thorne's hypothesis by showing a measurable increase in the speed of task completion (thirty minutes faster per day) for employees working in offices with large windows compared to those in offices without windows.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the hypothesis in the passage.
The hypothesis is that employees working in offices with large windows (natural light) complete their daily tasks faster than those in offices with only artificial lighting.
Understanding the precise claim is necessary to evaluate which evidence supports it.
2
Evaluate the choices to find evidence directly connecting natural light/windows to faster task completion.
The choice stating that employees with windows complete tasks thirty minutes faster directly supports this relationship.
The correct option must provide empirical evidence that aligns with the speed prediction of the hypothesis.
