Supervision is to :

  • A.Check compliance with instructions
  • B.Deter or detect wrong doing
  • C.Fitting each person harmoniously into the working group
  • D.Control staff

Answer: C

The keyed answer is fitting each person harmoniously into the working group.

The key follows a textbook definition of supervision as the direct guidance of employees that gets each worker to see his place in the team and to work with the others for the purpose of the organisation. On that view supervision is about integrating the individual into the group, which is why the key prefers this option.

Checking compliance with instructions (A), detecting wrongdoing (B) and controlling staff (D) are also things supervisors do, and some texts list them as purposes of supervision. I could not identify the exact source of the definition the key uses, so this question rests on the keyed textbook reading and the other three options should not be called wrong in general.
