Reading Comprehension

Which of the following could replace 'digging out' as used in the passage?

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and select the most suitable option according to the corresponding number in the passage.

Arguing is very much in the human nature. Almost everyone does it. But everybody should understand that there is a right way and a wrong way to do it. Some people do it overtly by yelling while some others do it covertly without much hue and cry. You may think that the former is the right way and the latter is the wrong one. But the fact is that the method actually does not make any difference. Understand that you don't need to be furious to express your anger when you are not happy with something or someone. If you are angry, you don't need to throw things or break them or shout at people or end valuable relationships. This is regretful behaviour and hence not acceptable in a professional organisation.

The importance of developing a highly cohesive and effective team can be gauged from some of the strangest methods adopted by organisations across the world for this purpose. Corporations could still be exploring new things and one day might ask their employees to perform strange tasks like swimming with dolphins to inculcate team spirit or even ask them to go for parachuting as a strategy to create a winning team out of a group of quarrelling individuals. Of late, the so-called team building activities have become so absurd and nonsensical to employees as well as employers that I developed a kind of scepticism towards all types of team building exercises. Here comes the most pertinent question; if games and group activities cannot transform a group of employees into a cohesive team, then what else can achieve this?

Salary negotiation is an art. When you get a clear job offer from a potential employer, that is the right time to negotiate a suitable remuneration package.
