Studies have shown that employees who take a full hour for lunch are more productive in the afternoon than those who take shorter breaks. Therefore, the company's new policy of requiring a 30-minute lunch break will decrease overall productivity.
Which one of the following is an assumption required by the argument?
- Any productivity gained from the extra half hour of work does not exceed the afternoon productivity lost to the shorter break.
- A full sixty-minute lunch is the single optimal break length for maximizing each individual employee's afternoon productivity.
- Lunch is the only opportunity employees have during the entire workday to rest, recover, and recharge before the afternoon.
- Employees would freely choose a longer lunch break even if taking it meant ending their workday correspondingly later.
- Afternoon output is the only component of each employee's overall daily productivity that the new break policy affects.
