Mid passage ·
Read the passage, then answer the question.
本文 · Passage
在宅勤務定着し、通勤時間削減育児との両立など、その利点十分証明されたとってよい。私自身往復時間通勤から解放されたことで、生活確実がった。 一方で、見過ごせない問題らかになってきた。それは、雑談消滅である。オフィスでは、廊下給湯室でのなにげない会話からしい企画まれたり、若手先輩仕事ぶりを自然んだりしていた。オンライン会議目的まったには効率的だが、目的のない会話はほとんどまれない。 技術解決できる部分もあるだろうが、まずは「雑談無駄ではなく投資である」と組織認識めることが先決ではないだろうか。
筆者によると、在宅勤務課題か。

According to the writer, what is the challenge of remote work? → Purposeless conversation rarely arises, so chances for serendipitous ideas and learning are lost.

正解 · Answer

解説 · Why

The passage concedes the benefits of remote work, then pivots (一方で) to its core claim: casual chat (雑談) has vanished, and with it serendipitous ideas and informal learning. Each distractor flips something the text actually said.

誤答 · Why the other options are wrong
Reversed: commuting disappeared and quality of life went up.
The passage says the opposite — online meetings are efficient for purposeful discussion.
Childcare compatibility is listed among the proven benefits, not the problems.
