This question has not been fully discussed before. I have question about A in the answer to No.6.

The ariticle mentions that " Large numbers of permanent employees make it difficult for organizations to respond quickly to downturns in demand by decreasing payroll costs."

"Difficult for .... to respond quickly ......" corresponds to "operate effectively".

Discussion is highly welcome!

The passage suggests that which of the following is a legitimate reason for

organizations’ shift to the new model of employer-employee relations? A

A.       Organizations tend to operate more effectively when they have a high manager-

to-employee ratio.

B.        Organizations can move their operations to less expensive locations more easily

when they have fewer permanent employees.

C.        Organizations have found that they often receive higher quality work when they

engage in outsourcing.

D.       Organizations with large pools of permanent workers risk significant financial losses

if the demand for their product or service decreases.

E.        Organizations are under increasing pressure to adopt new technologies that often

obviate the need for certain workers.
