Question
If everything you knew about office life came from NBC's serial mockumentary "The Office," you would be forgiven for thinking romance is the main spice of workplace life. Yet the hit show confirms with satire what recent studies have demonstrated with numbers: Romances shape office life, and human resource departments don't have much to say about it. _____________________________________ As one HR professional puts it: "There is a feeling of resignation among HR people. Mostly they close their eyes and hope for the best.”
Answer: Option B
:
B
According to the passage, romances shape office life and the HR department of the company cannot say much about it. Option (a) says that there are no rules and regulations that the HR department can use against office romances. This is in line with the idea presented in the passage as the line following the blank says that the HR department has a feeling of resignation as they cannot really quote rules to reprimand those involved in office relationships. Option (b) says that the company chooses to ignore the presence of romance but it can lead to a potential fallout between the people involved in the romance. Option (d) goes against the idea as it is clearly given that the HR department is ignoring the presence of office romances. Option (c) goes outside the scope of the passage.
Hence option (a) is the correct answer.
