What main point does the author want to convey through the examples of the police officer and the surgeon?
Explanation:
Both the cases of the police officer and the surgeon suggest that in order to maximize their performance metrics, it encourages them to behave in a way that is at odds with the larger purpose of the organization. The duty of a police officer is to protect the law and order of his area. However, if his performance metric judges him by the amount of crime committed in his locality, he will try to downgrade major offences into minor ones. Thus he is being unethical in order to improve his performance metric. Similarly, a surgeon will not handle a case which he is not sure of since it will affect his metric score. Thus option 2 correctly states the main point of the author by giving the examples of these two professionals. Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
