Fill in: 'We ___ a formal probation review at the midpoint, rather than waiting until the very last week to raise any concerns at all.'
We 'schedule a review' — the standard, simple collocation for planning a formal check-in during probation. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Saying nothing throughout probation and then failing someone at the end can ___ a new hire blindsided by feedback they never once heard.'
We say silence will 'leave' someone blindsided — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting shock. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ clear success criteria at the very start of probation, rather than judging performance against a standard nobody actually stated.'
We 'establish criteria' — the standard, simple collocation for defining expectations before evaluating someone. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ performance against those criteria honestly, rather than a manager's vague gut feeling with no real evidence behind it.'
We 'assess performance' — the standard, simple collocation for formally evaluating someone's work. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the outcome in writing at the end of probation, rather than a verbal comment that leaves the decision undocumented entirely.'
We 'confirm an outcome' — the standard, simple collocation for formally recording a probation decision. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
