Do not use any spell-checking or grammar-checking functions (they are not available on the actual GRE). The following appeared as part of an article in a national business publication: “Workforce Systems, a consulting firm specializing in workplace produc- tivity and efficiency, reports that nearly 70 percent of Maxtech’s employees who enrolled in Workforce Systems’ one-week seminar last year claim to be more content with their current jobs than prior to enrolling in the seminar. By requiring managers at all large corporations to enroll in the kinds of seminars that Workforce System offers, productivity in our economy’s private sector is certain to improve.” Discuss how well-reasoned you find the argument above.
