Small workshops and factories prefer to employ casual workers because _________.
(A) state has already taken care of workers' benefits
(B) they can be fired without any prior notice
(C) most of them are not literate
(D) they could be paid lowest possible wages
Answer: C
The reasons are B and D, so the answer is (B) and (D).
Casual workers are employed only when there is work and have no security of employment. Employers in small workshops and factories prefer them because they can be fired without prior notice (B) when work is short, and because they can be paid the lowest possible wages (D), often with no holidays, leave or other benefits.
Statement A is wrong: casual workers usually get no benefits from the employer, and the state has not taken care of them either. Statement C is not the reason; employers hire casual workers for the cost and flexibility, not because of their literacy. Options including A or C are therefore wrong.
