【参考答案及解析】
Rationale: Eva's new tasks are of the same skill level and responsibility as her original task, soher job has been horizontally enlarged rather than vertically enlarged (which would be job enrichment). If she had gone from just packing one shift, to just stamping on the next shift (and so on), this would have been job rotation.Pitfalls: Any area like this where students frequently confuse similar terminology is ripe for examining. Read, think and check your answers carefully, to avoid careless errors!
