Q18E是说billing 部门的员工更不容易得到，即job market的供给少，所以工资高。可是gmat的逻辑不是一步的吗，这样绕个圈子，不是违背了他的原则吗？而C项，a wide variety of clearical supplies， 是不是表明雇的人多，招聘和管理的人力资源费用也会高的。 confused. please help me

没完全看懂E但是ABCD肯定都不对所以选E

(C) The work of Billing now requires a wider variety of clerical supplies than it did in the past.

clerical supplies的多样化和供应多少及浪费没有关系

三脚猫

A和B部门位置相邻、功能相似－－B的supply比A耗用的多－－－因为在B拿supply比在A方便，所以A也来B部门拿supply,由此导致B耗用的supply比A多（否定B浪费）

clerical supplies cabinet

我理解的是人力资源库，你的理解好像是耗材

cabinet，我查了一下，可能指的是标准卡，类似于财物用的资产管理卡片，这年头谁还用哦。

恍然大悟,多谢4楼MM的解释!

原来D选项"Members of Accounting found the clerical supplies cabinet of Billing more convenient to go to for supplies than their own department’s cabinet"中的"to go for supplies"意思是"去拿装备". 所以该选项说的是"貌似被浪费的那部分装备,实际是被Accounting部门的人给用掉了"

再说一下C为什么错.
C是说Billing部门现在需要更多样的装备.
这句话可以用来削弱结论(Billing部门在浪费):因为工作需要,所以买更多的装备,故不是浪费.
同样也可以用来加强结论:Acounting部门的工作与Billing部门的工作内容差不多,凭什么Billing部门要更多的装备才能完成与Acounting部门类似的工作?这就是浪费嘛.

笨笨可可

Both these workers and the 50 who remained in the drab workroom increased their productivity, probably as a result of the interest taken by researchers in the work of both groups during the study.

这句话还是不懂，到底在说什么？

2.这里2组效率提高是因为什么原因？我当时看原文还以为是研究人员的兴趣导致的

3,请问C错在哪里？

这题的关键在于理解E项的意思，cabinet究竟指什么。

如果E是正确选项，那么E项的意思应该就是：

A发现去B那儿拿supply更方便，所以A就从B那儿拿supply，那么其实B的supply一部分是A用掉了，所以支持B头的说法。

我发现这个完全是考我们阅读理解能力嘛！

事实上我一开始压根没读懂~
