Answer 1

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Which of the following statements should Carter avoid making because it exaggerates the facts? Would be, D: Orientation programs eliminate the likelihood of new employees quitting their jobs.

Explanation:

The reason for this being the answer is because of the use of the word "eliminate". In the excerpt that we read in the question, Carter finds out that these orientation programs have a direct impact on employee morale, on overall wellbeing, on employee comfort and focus, and therefore in increasing production and efficiency. They also have an impact on the possibility that people may seek another job. However, saying that orientation programs "eliminate" the likelihood of employees quitting is an overexaggeration of the information that was provided by the excerpt, and therefore it fulfills the purpose of the question asked. That is why it is the correct answer.
