Listen to the recording and answer the question by selecting all the correct responses. You will need to select more than one response.
Most companies know the need to go mobile to make their workforce more productive and efficient, but many don’t know what is needed outside of buying some tablets and software. The truth is. Companies simply don't consider how a mobile employee will carry or use a tablet while out in the field - whether that be an actual field, the floors of an emergency room, the roof of a hail-damaged house or the halls of a huge hotel. The problem is elegant in its simplicity - a tablet, like any tool, must be easily carried and accessible at all times. For most of us who sit behind a computer all day, this doesn't seem like an issue — but think about what it would be like to climb a ladder while, at the same time, juggling a tablet. A mobile device-carrying solution is just as important for anyone working with a tablet (such as an iPad) as it is for a carpenter needing a tool belt for a hammer. Mobility is all about efficiency and increased productivity. If executed right that’s the end result. If executed wrong, it can be a costly mistake, hazardous to the worker's safety.

Option 1: "Helps to carry out fieldwork while carrying a device."

Explanation: The text emphasizes the importance of a mobile device-carrying solution for employees who need to use tablets in various fieldwork scenarios. It highlights that a tablet must be easily carried and accessible, especially in challenging environments like emergency rooms or construction sites. This directly supports the idea that mobility aids in carrying out fieldwork effectively.

Option 2: "Help an employee to go places and do the task."

Explanation: While this option suggests mobility, it lacks specificity regarding how it relates to the use of devices like tablets. The text focuses on the practical aspects of carrying and using a tablet in the field, rather than just going places. Therefore, it does not fully capture the essence of the author's argument.

Option 3: "Increases efficiency of an employee in a company."

Explanation: The text states that mobility is all about efficiency and increased productivity. It implies that when mobile solutions are executed correctly, they lead to better performance and productivity for employees. This aligns perfectly with the author's main idea that mobility enhances overall efficiency in the workplace.

Option 4: "Helps in bringing more profits to the company."

Explanation: This option introduces a concept of profitability that is not directly addressed in the text. The focus is on the practical implications of mobility for employee efficiency rather than financial outcomes. Thus, it does not accurately reflect the author's main argument.

Option 5: "Helps in promoting the name of the company in the world and market."

Explanation: This option suggests a marketing aspect that is not mentioned in the text. The author discusses the practicalities of mobility and its impact on employee efficiency, not on brand promotion. Therefore, this option does not align with the main idea presented.
