He has been ______ from the Tokyo head office to the Singapore branch. A. translated B. transformed C. transferred D. transported
The correct answer is C. transferred. This sentence describes a personnel movement between company offices, which requires the verb "transfer" – the standard term for reassigning an employee to a different location or department within an organization.
A. translated refers to converting text between languages, which is irrelevant here.
B. transformed means changing the nature or form of something, not moving a person.
D. transported typically describes moving goods or people physically (e.g., by vehicle), not official job reassignments.
In corporate contexts, "transferred" specifically denotes the formal reassignment of an employee between departments, branches, or locations, making it the only appropriate choice for this sentence.
