    D Only IV Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Only III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The main idea of the passage is that the lines of communication should always be open between the management and the employees thereby fostering a healthy environment for growth. According to the tone of HR, the employees and not the boss are responsible. Hence, assumption III is eliminated. Assumption I is contrary to the statement. Assumption II is additional information. The passage does not talk about the consequences of lack of managerial skills of the boss. Assumption IV is correct as the main premise of the passage is to avoid conflicts and that everything can be freely discussed in case of confusion.
