Test No. incompl/advan-7 "Job Interview", answer 6

As this is a managerial post, we must ask you how you deal with bad time keeping or unpunctuality in an employee.

Correct answer: (c) time

Your answer was: incorrect
As this is a managerial post, we must ask you how you deal with bad record keeping or unpunctuality in an employee.
_________________________

If time keeping and unpunctuaility are both about time, so don't you think this is a tricky question? In fact you want to ask twice about same thing - time keeping. (...deal with bad time keeping or timekeeping ...). Many peoples will want to see two subject handled by management.

[Alan]

This isn't a test about management but vocabulary. The idea is to hint in the other part of the sentence what the missing word could be.
