Hint:

For reading comprehension questions about solutions, match the answer to the passage's explicit mention or examples, and eliminate options that are unrelated or contradictory.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Step 1: Understand the question. The question asks for what companies are introducing to foster collaboration in remote work, requiring a specific solution from the passage.
- Step 2: Locate relevant information. The passage states, "Companies are introducing virtual team-building activities to foster collaboration." This directly identifies "virtual team-building activities" as the solution.
- Step 3: Evaluate the options.
- Option (1): "Flexible schedules" is mentioned as a benefit of remote work, not a solution for collaboration, so it is incorrect.
- Option (2): "Virtual team-building activities" matches the passage's wording, making it the correct choice.
- Option (3): "Office expansions" contradicts the remote work context, so it is incorrect.
- Option (4): "Commuting subsidies" is irrelevant, as the passage mentions reduced commuting costs, not subsidies.
- Step 4: Verify specificity. The passage explicitly uses "virtual team-building activities" to address collaboration, ensuring option (2) is a precise match.
- Step 5: Cross-check for alternatives. The passage does not suggest schedules, expansions, or subsidies as solutions, confirming option (2) as the only correct choice.
- Step 6: Final conclusion. Option (2) Virtual team-building activities is the correct answer, as it directly reflects the passage's stated solution.
