Answer 2

Answer: A. workers can act with speed and precision because decisions are based on a set of known standards.

One of the benefits of a bureaucracy is that workers operate under an established set of guidelines. Regardless of the specific individual that fulfills a certain role, work expectations and duties are the same. This is beneficial to government as it allows workers to operate with speed and precision, and reduces the number of mistakes. It also makes corruption easier to identify and persecute.
