OFFICIAL EXPLANATION


B, C

Reduced sick day allowances are likely to be considered a bad thing, but the workers here know that management has impulsive or changeable (capricious) tendencies when it comes to adopting or abandoning policies. Therefore, we'd expect them to show little reaction. Impassively means "without emotion," and is a good word to describe the employees here.Stoically means "accepting of what happens without complaining or showing emotion." Since they were accustomed to the unfair policies of their management, they were used to accepting these changes. (B) and (C) are correct.
