The object of an ergonomist is ............

  • A.To make employees more contented.
  • B.To have a knowledge of a number of sciences and techniques
  • C.To find people with all their quirks and idiosyncracies
  • D.To enable a person of ordinary abilities to carry out his tasks safely and efficiently

Answer: D

The object of an ergonomist is to enable a person of ordinary abilities to carry out his tasks safely and efficiently.

The passage says so in nearly these words in its fourth paragraph: after accepting people as they are, the ergonomist allocates to the human operator the functions each can perform best, and 'his object is to enable a person of ordinary abilities to carry out his tasks safely and efficiently, with a minimum of instruction'.

Making employees more contented is one benefit of ergonomic research, not its object. A knowledge of several sciences is something the ergonomist needs in order to work, not what he aims at. Finding people with quirks is a mistake about the passage: he accepts them as he finds them.
