Explanation

Answer: C

PASSAGE

A study on remote work found that employees who worked from home reported 20% higher job satisfaction than those in the office. However, the remote employees also reported feeling more isolated from their colleagues.

Which choice best describes the relationship between the two findings?

A. They are completely unrelated.
B. The second finding explains the first.
C. The findings present a trade-off associated with remote work.✓ Correct
D. The first finding disproves the second.

Detailed Explanation

One finding is positive (satisfaction) and the other is unique/negative (isolation). Together they show the pros and cons (trade-offs) of the remote work arrangement.

Key Evidence:

• "higher job satisfaction"

• "feeling more isolated"

Why others are wrong: A (They are both effects of the same cause (remote work).), B (Isolation typically reduces satisfaction, so it doesn't explain the *increase*.), D (High satisfaction does not make isolation impossible.).
