问题 According to the passage, before the final results of the study were known, which of the following seemed likely?
Which of the following, if true, would most clearly have supported the conclusion referred to in lines 19-21?

选项 A、Ratings of productivity correlated highly with ratings of both accuracy and attendance.
B、Electronic monitoring greatly increased productivity.
C、Most supervisors based overall ratings of performance on measures of productivity alone.
D、Overall ratings of performance correlated more highly with measures of productivity than the researchers expected.
E、Overall ratings of performance correlated more highly with measures of accuracy than with measures of productivity.

答案E

解析 The best answer is E. According to lines 17-21, it was concluded that supervisors gave considerable weight to factors other than worker productivity, such as “attendance, accuracy, and indications of customer satisfaction.” If this were true, one would expect that one of these other elements would correlate with the supervisor’ rating of a worker as highly as or more highly than would productivity. The evidence indicated in E-a higher correlation between accuracy and overall ratings than between productivity and overall ratings-would therefore support the conclusion that supervisors gave considerable weight to criteria other than productivity. Choices A and B can be eliminated because they are not directly relevant to the conclusion that supervisors’ ratings suggested that they valued aspects of performance other than productivity. Choices C and D can be eliminated because they help refute the conclusion that employee ratings were not based on productivity alone.
