Answer 1

The correct option is D Establishing guidelines on the proportion of temporary workers that firms should employ.

"Government policymakers should consider mandating benefit coverage for temporary employees, promoting pay equity between temporary and permanent workers, assisting labor unions in organizing temporary workers, and encouraging firms to assign temporary jobs primarily to employees who explicitly indicate that preference"- this sentence clearly states all the governmental actions that the passage would suggest. Thus, option D is the only option that befits the context.
