Sentence completion (goal: enhance profit): Choose the action that best supports profitability. In order to help the company attain its goal of enhancing profit, all the employees ______.

Difficulty: Easy

urged the management to grant paid leave
appealed the management to implement new welfare schemes
voluntarily offered to work overtime with lucrative compensation
voluntarily offered to render additional services in lieu of nothing
decided to enhance production at the cost of quality of the product

Correct Answer: voluntarily offered to render additional services in lieu of nothing

Explanation:

Given data

Goal stated: enhancing profit.

Concept/Approach
Actions that raise costs (paid leave, welfare schemes, 'lucrative' overtime) typically reduce profit unless offset by large gains. Offering additional services for free directly lowers cost per output, improving profit.

Option analysis
D (despite clumsy phrasing) implies unpaid extra work, aiding profit. E sacrifices quality (harmful long-term). A/B/C increase costs.

Final Answer
voluntarily offered to render additional services in lieu of nothing
