PASSAGE
Read the following two versions of the same section from a problem-analysis presentation about workplace injuries at a manufacturing plant.
Version 1: 'There have been many injuries at the plant this year. Workers are not following safety rules. Management should enforce the rules more strictly.'
Version 2: 'Recordable injuries increased 45% in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year. Analysis of incident reports shows that 68% of injuries occurred during the shift changeover period, when safety briefings are frequently skipped due to time pressure. Additionally, floor supervisors report that the current safety protocol was last updated in 2017 and does not reflect new equipment configurations. We recommend piloting a structured 10-minute changeover briefing and scheduling a protocol review with floor staff within 60 days.'
A writing instructor asks students to identify the single most important reason Version 2 represents a higher-level problem analysis than Version 1. Which answer most precisely identifies that reason?
