"Temporization" is a strategy by which an employer increases...
(A) employee dissatisfaction causes more aggregate hours to be taken to complete a task and so would be prevented under "temporization."
This completion challenges the presupposition in the passage that the increased number of employees performing a task while slightly decreasing aggregate hours leads to increased productivity and employee satisfaction. It suggests that the claim is based on the assumption that employee dissatisfaction causes more hours to be taken to complete a task, and "temporization" prevents this by ensuring employee satisfaction. However, the passage does not provide any evidence or explanation for this presupposition, making it questionable.
(B) The goal of employers is to maximize their employees' productivity rather than their businesses' profitability.
This option introduces a different presupposition, suggesting that the goal of employers is focused on maximizing employees' productivity rather than overall profitability. While this statement might be true in some cases, it does not directly challenge the claim made in the passage regarding productivity and employee satisfaction under "temporization."
(C) The strategy of "temporization" would require employers to approach hiring and human resources issues in a challenging new way.
This option addresses the potential challenges employers might face in implementing "temporization" as a strategy. However, it does not directly challenge the presupposition regarding productivity and employee satisfaction.
(D) "Temporization" is a recently-developed business strategy that has not yet been put into practice.
This option challenges the presupposition that "temporization" is an established and practiced strategy. However, the passage presents "temporization" as an existing strategy without suggesting it is a recently-developed one.
(E) "Temporization" could be implemented by hiring workers currently employed by competitors.
This option introduces a potential method of implementing "temporization" by hiring workers employed by competitors. However, it does not directly challenge the presupposition regarding productivity and employee satisfaction.
