1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the reasoning behind a reorg honestly to every affected team, rather than announcing new reporting lines with no explanation at all.'
We 'explain reasoning' — the standard, simple collocation for justifying an organisational change to those affected. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Announcing new team structures with no rationale attached can ___ employees assuming the worst, usually reading it as a prelude to layoffs.'
We say an unexplained reorg will 'leave' employees assuming the worst — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting anxiety. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ every manager on the coming change before it's announced company-wide, so nobody hears about their own new team secondhand from a colleague.'
We 'brief a manager' — the standard, simple collocation for informing someone directly before a wider announcement. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a clear, dedicated channel for questions after the announcement, rather than leaving people to quietly speculate among themselves.'
We 'open a channel' — the standard, simple collocation for creating a route for follow-up questions. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the new structure's actual impact on day-to-day work concretely, not just an updated org chart nobody can translate into their real routine.'
We 'clarify impact' — the standard, simple collocation for spelling out concrete, practical consequences of a change. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
