4.     Most employees in the computer industry move from company to company, changing jobs several times in their careers. However, Summit Computers is known throughout the industry for retaining its employees. Summit credits its success in retaining employees to its informal, nonhierarchical work environment.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports Summit’s explanation of its success in retaining employees?

(A) Some people employed in the computer industry change jobs if they become bored with their current projects.

(B) A hierarchical work environment hinders the cooperative exchange of ideas that computer industry employees consider necessary for their work.

(C) Many of Summit’s senior employees had previously worked at only one other computer company.

(D) In a nonhierarchical work environment, people avoid behavior that might threaten group harmony and thus avoid discussing with their colleagues any dissatisfaction they might have with their jobs.（B）

(E) The cost of living near Summit is relatively low compared to areas in which some other computer companies are located.

看了讨论还是没有搞清出BD的区别.请问D错在哪里？是不是B是直接讨论 hierarchical work environment 的缺点而D间接讨论的?所以B更好,D也没有错?

谢谢！

D talks about the disadvantages of having a nonhierarchical work environment, namely dissatisfactions remain unvoiced.  B talks about how important employees consider exchange of ideas to be and how a hierarchical environment prevents that practice, indirectly indicates the benefit of a non-hierarchical setting.

people avoid behavior that might threaten group harmony 应该是advantage呀，你为什么说是disadvantage呢？咱们在讨论一下吧

The result of being overly protective of the group harmony is that
people "avoid discussing with their colleagues any dissatisfaction they
might have with their jobs."  That makes it a disadvantage because
none of their problems will surface so the company will have no way of
addressing them and making it a better workplace.
