In terms of productivity, it seems the __________ has shifted from managing employees in the workplace to monitoring their total ___________ no matter where they choose to work. Whether this trend will continue depends to some ____________ on how well it works for everyone concerned.

* Choose the correct answer: 

focus - deals - way - practices - selling - output - extent

* Answers with Grammar Explanation

1- practices: الممارسات  ✅

- The blank space must be filled with "practices" because the context of the sentence is referring to the methods or strategies employed by companies to facilitate flexible work. "Practices" aligns with this context.

 
- "Practices" here refers to established methods or routines, indicating the adoption of certain approaches or strategies related to technology and flexible work.

- The other options, such as "focus," "deals," "way," "selling," "output," and "extent," do not correctly convey the meaning of methods or strategies used in flexible work set-ups.

2- focus : ركز ✅

- The word "focus" is needed in the blank space because it represents the direction or center of attention, which is in keeping with the change described in the sentence. The sentence is talking about a shift in where attention is given or how things are conducted, 

- "Focus" means the center of attention or emphasis, highlighting the shift in emphasis from managing employees to monitoring their output.

- The passage talks about the shift from managing employees to monitoring output. This suggests a change in focus.

3- output : انتاج ✅

- The blank space needs to be filled with "output" because it is referring to the productivity or work produced by the employees. The rest of the sentence discusses the shift in monitoring from the workplace to wherever the employees are working. The content of what is being monitored would be the employees' output or result of their work.

- "Output" refers to the amount of work or product produced, suggesting that companies are now more concerned with the results or output of employees' work rather than their physical presence in the workplace.

- This refers to the amount of work produced by employees, which is the focus of monitoring under flexible work arrangements. "Practices" is too broad for this specific idea.

4- extent : حد / حجم / مدي / مساحه ✅

- The word "extent" is the best fit for the blank because it indicates "degree" or "amount." The sentence describes a situation which may continue more or less (to a larger or smaller degree) depending on its effectiveness for all parties involved.

-"Extent" means the degree or scope to which something happens or is the case, indicating that the continuation of this trend depends on how well it works for all involved parties.

- This refers to the degree to which the trend of monitoring output will continue. "Way" wouldn't be specific enough, and "deals" doesn't make sense in this context.
