This is a review of the entire dialogue you just studied.
Write the following words or phrases in the correct spot:
personal preferences, split, office furniture, laptop, minimum requirement, budget, and stick with.
Bob: Anna, do you remember our last discussion about the remote work stipend? I've talked again with the team and we still have the same issue: some people think it should be used for technology, while others suggest BLANK. Do you have any ideas on how to solve this?
Anna: How about we BLANK the stipend into two parts? That way, people can use part of it for technology upgrades and part for office furniture or other home office needs.
Bob: That's a good idea, but wouldn't it complicate the BLANK? It might be easier to BLANK one category.
Anna: I see your point, but flexibility might be better. Think about it. Wouldn't it be simpler to let people decide how to use their stipend based on their individual needs?
Bob: Maybe, but we also need to ensure everyone has the basic equipment to work remotely. What if we set a BLANK, and anything beyond that can be used for BLANK?
Anna: That could work. If we create a list of essential items, like a BLANK, webcam, and headset, then anything extra could be allocated as they wish.
Bob: That's a reasonable suggestion. If we do that, people will have the essentials while still having some freedom to choose.
