answer explanation: 

<p>Employees who want to fit in well at their workplace wear clothing that adheres to the company's standard of <strong>appropriate</strong> business attire.</p>

<p>The correct answer is (<strong>B) appropriate</strong>.</p>

<p>The phrase "adheres to" means to follow or comply with. In this context, it means that employees should wear clothing that aligns with or meets the requirements of the company's standard.&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 13.008px;">The word "appropriate" means suitable or fitting. In this sentence, it means that employees should wear clothing that is suitable for the workplace and meets the company's standard of professionalism.</span></p>

<p>Options (A), (C), and (D) are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the type of attire that employees should wear.&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 13.008px;">(A)&nbsp;</span>"Useful"&nbsp; means helpful or practical, but it does not describe the appropriate clothing for a workplace.&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 13.008px;">(C)&nbsp;</span>"Affirmative" means positive or confirming, but it is not relevant to describing clothing.&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 13.008px;">(D)&nbsp;</span>"Indicative" means showing or indicating, but it does not describe the type of clothing that is appropriate for a workplace.</p>
