Mara: Our office's productivity climbed last quarter because of the new free-coffee program. With caffeine freely available, everyone stayed more alert through the afternoon. Tev: Productivity did climb, but the coffee had nothing to do with it. We also reorganized the teams that quarter, and that restructuring is what drove the gains.
Which one of the following, if true, most weakens Mara's explanation of the productivity increase?
- The reorganization changed no employee's salary.
- Employees consumed no more coffee after the free-coffee program began than they had consumed when purchasing coffee themselves.
- The office's productivity had remained stable during the preceding quarter.
- Free coffee costs the office less than the team reorganization did.
- Several employees report preferring tea to coffee and continued bringing the same amount of tea from home after the office introduced free coffee.
