1 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ severance terms case by case where tenure or circumstances genuinely differ, rather than applying one rigid formula to everyone.'
We 'negotiate terms' — the standard, simple collocation for discussing severance conditions individually. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Presenting a severance offer as completely non-negotiable can ___ a departing employee feeling they have no real say in their own exit.'
We say a rigid offer will 'leave' someone feeling powerless — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting impression. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ extended healthcare coverage as part of the package where budget allows, since a gap in coverage right after a layoff is a genuine hardship.'
We 'offer coverage' — the standard, simple collocation for including a benefit in a severance package. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the draft agreement with legal before it reaches the employee, so no clause is only interpreted correctly after signing.'
We 'review an agreement' — the standard, simple collocation for checking a document before it's shared. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the agreement in writing within the promised timeframe, rather than leaving a verbal understanding to drift for weeks.'
We 'finalize an agreement' — the standard, simple collocation for putting a settled arrangement into writing. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
