One common mistake that GMAT candidates make is that they don't stay close to the text provided in the passage.
Let’s look at an example:
Q) Company X has instituted an Employee Wellness Program that will provide employees with free access to smoking cessation programs, nutritional counseling, and personal training services at a local gym. Similar programs at other companies have been shown to improve workplace attendance and performance, and reduce the employer’s costs for employee health insurance. Thus, the Employee Wellness Program will be good for both the employees and the company.
If true, which of the following would best support the conclusion of the argument above?
a) Many employees take advantage of free nutritional counseling when it is offered by employers.
b) Smoking cessation programs are only effective for 20% of those smokers who use them.
c) Personal training services at a local gym will make it easier for employees to improve their cardiovascular health and reduce the incidence of serious illness.
d) Exercising without personal training services can often lead to injury due to incorrect use of weight-training equipment.
e) Company X will give employees taking part in the smoking cessation program one paid hour off each Friday afternoon to participate in a support group.

In order to limit civilian casualties in the military, the government has begun to conduct programs to help gunmen improve their anxiety. However, a recent report has cast serious doubt on the programs. Researchers used a combination of written questionnaires and physiological measurements to compare the average anxiety level of gunmen. They confirmed that the anxiety levels of gunmen who took part in these programs were lower than those of gunmen who did not participate in programs. When civilian casualty records of these gunmen were scrutinized, however, researchers saw that the amount of overtime worked was more strongly correlated with civilian casualties than were anxiety levels. |
