Excerpt from the Sterling Corp. Employee Handbook: Section 4: Use of Company Resources and Conduct

Welcome to Sterling Corp! We are delighted to have you on our team. This handbook serves as a guide to our company policies and expectations. Please familiarize yourself with its contents.

4.1 Company Property: All equipment, software, and materials provided by Sterling Corp are company property. They are intended for business use only. Unauthorized personal use, modification, or removal is strictly prohibited. Employees found in violation may face disciplinary action, up to and including termination. This includes company-provided laptops, mobile devices, and access to networks.

4.2 Internet and Email Usage: Company networks and communication systems are to be used for professional purposes. Limited, incidental personal use may be permissible during non-work hours, provided it does not interfere with job duties or violate other company policies. Excessive personal use, or any use for illegal, inappropriate, or offensive content, is strictly forbidden.

4.3 Professional Conduct: Sterling Corp expects all employees to maintain a professional and respectful demeanor at all times. Harassment, discrimination, or any form of disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated. We strive to foster a collaborative and inclusive work environment. Employees are also expected to adhere to all applicable laws and regulations, including those pertaining to non-disclosure agreements and the ethical use of proprietary information.

4.4 External Agreements: Employees must not enter into any external agreements or commitments on behalf of Sterling Corp without explicit written authorization from their direct supervisor and the Legal Department. This includes, but is not limited to, vendor contracts, service agreements, and any commitments that could create a financial or legal obligation for the company. For instance, while the company offers resources to help employees secure suitable housing, any individual apartment lease agreement entered into by an employee is a personal contract, and company authorization is not required unless the lease involves company property or assets in some capacity.

解説

📖 本文の和訳 — Sterling Corp. 従業員ハンドブック抜粋：セクション4：会社リソースの使用と行動規範。4.1 会社所有物：Sterling Corp.が提供するすべての機器、ソフトウェア、資料は会社所有物です。これらはビジネス目的でのみ使用されます。不正な個人的使用、改変、持ち出しは固く禁じられています。違反した従業員は��解雇を含む懲戒処分の対象となる可能性があります。
📝 정답 이유 — 質問は会社所有物の誤用の結果について尋ねています。本文のセクション4.1には、「違反した従業員は、解雇を含む懲戒処分の対象となる可能性がある」と明確に記載されています。これは、選択肢「Potential disciplinary action, possibly including termination.」（解雇の可能性を含む懲戒処分の可能性）と正確に一致する内容です。
💡 실전팁 — Part 7では、'consequence', 'result', 'effect'といった質問のキーワードを見つけたら、本文中で 'lead to', 'result in', 'cause', 'consequence', 'disciplinary action', 'termination' のような結果や処罰に関連する語彙を素早く探しましょう。
📊 오답분석 — X) A formal warning and a review of internet usage. — 「正式な警告」や「インターネット使用状況のレビュー」については本文中に全く言及されていません。 X) Mandatory attendance at a company property seminar. — 本文ではセミナーへの出席義務については触れられておらず、これは単なる懲戒の一形態である可能性があります。 X) A temporary suspension of network access privileges. — ネットワークアクセス権の一時停止は、考えられる懲戒処分の1つかもしれませんが、本文ではより広範な「懲戒処分」と「解雇」を明記しているため、最も包括的で正確な答えではありません。
