Personnel officer:The exorbitant cost of our health-insurance benefits reflects the high dollar amount of medical expenses incurred by our employees.Employees who are out of shape, as a group, have higher doctor bills and longer hospital stays than do their colleagues who are fit.Therefore, since we must reduce our health-insurance costs, we should offer a rigorous fitness program of jogging and weight lifting to all employees, and require employees who are out of shape to participate.




The conclusion reached by the personnel officer depends on which of the following assumptions?

1. A person who is fit would receive a routine physical checkup by a doctor less regularly than would a person who is out of shape.
   
2. The medical expenses incurred by employees who are required to participate in the fitness program would be less than those incurred by employees who are not required to participate.
   
3. The strenuous activities required of out-of-shape employees by the program would not by themselves generate medical expenses greater than any reduction achieved by the program.
   
4. The fitness program would serve more employees who are out of shape than it would employees who are fit.
   
5. The employees who participate in the fitness program would be away from work because of illness less than would the employees who do not participate.
   答案是C,但C选项什么意思，看不懂，请牛牛们帮我翻译一下
   我的断句如下：
   The strenuous activities /required of out-of-shape employees by the program would not by themselves /generate medical expenses greater than any reduction achieved by the program.

意思就是说在实施这个program的过程中，肥胖的人由于参与这个项目而产生的医疗费用（可能训练受伤啥的）不会比因实施这个program所带来的reduction多，即总的会减少医疗费用。。

The strenuous activities /required of out-of-shape employees by the program would not by themselves /generate medical expenses greater than any reduction achieved by the program
断句正确

就是说fitness program（有The strenuous activities ，并且要求 out-of-shape employees都参加） 所花费的钱不会比由这个项目带来的医疗花费上的减少多。

看句子现抓主干，在看修饰部分内容。
