Question

Bruce, a research chemist for a major petro-chemical
company, wrote a dense report about some new
compounds he had synthesized in the laboratory
from oil-refining by-products. The bulk of the report
consisted of tables listing their chemical and physical
properties, diagrams of their molecular structure,
chemical formulas and computer printouts of toxicity
tests. Buried at the end of the report was a casual
speculation that one of the compounds might be a
particularly effective insecticide. Seven years later,
the same oil company launched a major research
program to find more effective but environmentally
safe insecticides. After six months of research,
someone uncovered Bruce's report and his toxicity
tests. A few hours of further testing confirmed that
one of Bruce's compounds was the safe, economical
insecticide they had been looking for. Bruce had
since left the company, because he felt that the.
importance of his research was not being
appreciated. What were the losses incurred by the company?
OPTIONS
It lost a hardworking employee and wasted
time.
It lost its reputation
Employees questioned the credibility of the
company
None of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

Losses incurred by the company;

Explanation:

It lost a hardworking employee and wasted time.

Answer 2

The correct answer is a) It lost a hardworking employee and wasted

time.

• Here, in the given passage it has been mentioned the hard work that Bruce has put into the research and the lack of management who had rejected his proposal on the research work.
• After six years, the same thing was invented which had already been invented by Bruce.
• In the meantime, Bruce had left the company because he left that his contribution was not given attention and he did not get the recognition that he had deserved.
• Therefore, the company actually lost a valuable employee who had invented the technology way before and also lost huge profits that could have been generated from the insecticides.
• Hence, The correct option is a) It lost a hardworking employee and wasted time.
