Many companies now have employee assistance programs that enable employees, free of charge, to improve their physical fitness, reduce stress, and learn ways to stop smoking. These programs increase worker productivity, reduce absenteeism and lessen insurance costs for employee health care. Therefore, these programs benefit the company as well as the employee. Which of the following, if true, most significantly strengthens the conclusion above?

✅ কেন সঠিক: The conclusion is that the programs benefit both the company and the employee. Option গ shows a real benefit: regular exercise lowers heart-disease risk and raises energy, which helps the employee directly and supports higher productivity and lower health costs for the company.

❌ অন্য অপশন: ক only shows that the programs are popular, not that they help anyone. খ weakens the argument (stress training often fails), and ঘ adds a cost for the company, which also weakens it.

💡 মনে রাখুন: To strengthen an argument, pick the fact that supports the link between the evidence and the conclusion, not one that just describes the situation.

📌 জেনে রাখুন: Both reference books give ক, but on the logic of the argument গ is the stronger answer; because the answers differ, the question is excluded from model tests.
