What do you think?
Office Management - Maria, Saturday, March 16, 2013 at 6:53pm
My reading knowledge would choose A.
However - if seperating from work and family, how would a telecommuter succeed if they are having trouble.

Then, I thought about C.
Because they obviously can seperate work and hom because they are motivated and independent.

At this point, I am confused.

Note:
telecommuting has its advantages and
disadvantages. It eliminates the hassle of driving to work in
inclement weather or heavy traffic as well as the chore of
finding a parking place. Some employees report that they
get more work done at home, while others struggle to work
around family demands. Some say they love being able to
make their own hours; others state that without the “9 to 5”
structure, they feel lost. Some love the solitude they can find
at home; others complain of feeling isolated. In each case, it
depends on the employee’s preferences and personality.
