PP-T1-Q60

[monimoni827]

Because no employee wants to be associated with bad news in the eyes of a superior, information about serious problems at lower levels is progressively softened and distorted as it goes up each step in the management hierarchy. The chief executive is, therefore, less well informed about problems at lower levels than are his or her subordinates at those levels.

The conclusion drawn above is based on the assumption that

(A) problems should be solved at the level in the management hierarchy at which they occur
(B) employees should be rewarded for accurately reporting problems to their superiors
(C) problem-solving ability is more important at higher levels than it is at lower levels of the management hierarchy
(D)chief executives obtain information about problems at lower levels from no source other than their subordinates
(E) some employees are more concerned about truth than about the way they are perceived by their superiors

答案是D
想請問一下這題題目我用顏色highlight起來的部份(than是否是要改成that阿?)
因為chief executive後面說的這段我一直翻得怪怪的...

還有，D選項是說："州長除了他的部屬之外沒有其他來源可以的道問題的資訊"嗎?

不需要改喔!
是than沒錯。

題目大意是
Because no employee wants to be associated with bad news in the eyes of a superior, information about serious problems at lower levels is progressively softened and distorted as it goes up each step in the management hierarchy. The chief executive is, therefore, less well informed about problems at lower levels than are his or her subordinates at those levels.
低階員工發生嚴重問題的資訊到了管理階層常會被扭曲或是被軟化(比較不嚴重)
結論->總執行長 比起(than) 他的下屬會得到較少的問題資訊
確實是有比較的意思

D選項你翻得沒有錯,
因為長官的資訊都來自下屬
當下屬回報不實時,長官沒有其他方式查證,
自然就只能得到比較不實的情報拉～
