He has been ______ from the Tokyo head office to the Singapore branch. A. translated B. transformed C. transferred D. transported
The sentence requires a verb meaning "moved from one place to another, especially within an organization." Among the options, "transferred" specifically conveys the idea of reassigning someone within a company.
Answer: C. transferred
Here's the analysis of all options:
A. translated: Means converting text from one language to another, irrelevant to job relocation.
B. transformed: Refers to changing form or appearance, not organizational movement.
C. transferred: Correctly describes moving an employee from one department/location to another within the same organization.
D. transported: Typically means moving goods or people physically (e.g., by vehicle), not reassigning roles.
When discussing job changes within a company, "transferred" is the precise term—whether moving between departments, cities, or countries like Tokyo to Singapore.
