Passage

The company should offer remote work because it will reduce employee turnover.

Question

Which assumption is necessary?

Answer

At least some employees would be less likely to leave if remote work were offered.

Solution

  1. Negate the proposed assumption: remote work would not affect any employee's decision to leave.
  2. Then the claim that remote work will reduce turnover loses its support.
  3. The assumption is therefore necessary to the argument.
