Set 5: Inferences

Explanation

Answer: B

PASSAGE

A study tracked two groups of employees: one worked in offices with windows overlooking nature, while the other worked in identical offices with no windows. The group with windows took 23% fewer sick days and reported higher job satisfaction.

What does the study suggest?

A. Natural light and views have no workplace benefits.
B. Exposure to natural views may positively affect employee health and morale.✓ Correct
C. Windowless offices improve productivity.
D. Both groups reported identical satisfaction levels.

Detailed Explanation

Windows with nature = fewer sick days + higher satisfaction—nature exposure improves health and morale.

Key Evidence:

• "23% fewer sick days"

• "higher job satisfaction"

Why others are wrong: A (Significant benefits were measured.), C (Windowless group had more sick days.), D (Window group had 'higher' satisfaction.).
