The passage states: 「転機を迎えているのは、既存業務だけでは社員の飛躍的成長は望めず、企業が発展することも難しい、という危機感があるからだろう。」Companies are shifting because they feel that with only existing work, neither employees' dramatic growth nor company development is feasible. Option 4 restates this directly.
1「社員が既存業務の良さを見いだせなくなっているから」(because employees can no longer find value in existing work) is not stated. The issue is that existing work alone cannot drive growth, not that employees have lost appreciation for it.
2「副業が本業に悪影響を与えないことがわかってきたから」(because it has become clear that side jobs do not harm the main job) is not mentioned. In fact, the passage notes risks such as 本業への支障 and 機密情報の漏洩 as original concerns, and does not say these have been disproven.
3「政府や自治体の支援があることで、今が転機だという認識があるから」(because government and municipal support makes companies recognize a turning point) reverses the logic. The passage mentions government/municipal support as a backdrop, but the reason for the shift is the crisis feeling about growth, not the support itself.
飛躍的 — dramatic, leap-like
望めず — cannot be expected/hoped for
危機感 — sense of crisis

Show answer
Answer: 4. 本業を基盤としつつ、安心して新しい仕事に挑戦できる。
The passage states: 「社員にとっても本業を持ちながら第2のキャリアを築いたり、ローリスクで起業したり、メリットがある。」Employees can build a second career or start a business with low risk while keeping their main job. Option 4 (本業を基盤としつつ、安心して新しい仕事に挑戦できる) captures this: the main job serves as a foundation, allowing one to safely challenge new work.
1「多様な経験が積める上に、収入を増やすことができる」(can gain diverse experience and increase income) — while diverse experience is implied, the passage does not mention increasing income as a benefit for employees. This is an unsupported addition.
2「他の職業を経験することで、本業の良さが再認識できる」(can re-recognize the value of one's main job by experiencing other occupations) is not mentioned anywhere in the passage.
3「本業よりも自分に向いている仕事を探す機会が増える」(more opportunities to find work better suited than one's main job) is not stated. The passage frames the main job as a foundation, not as something to be replaced.
ローリスク — low risk
起業 — starting a business
第2のキャリア(だいにのキャリア) — second career
3.筆者によると、副業をする社員に求められることは何か。
1本業で得た経験を副業に生かすこと
2本業に対しても常に意欲を失わないこと
3何のために副業をするのかを明確に自覚すること
4成功した人のまねをせず、新しい分野に挑戦すること
Show answer
Answer: 3. 何のために副業をするのかを明確に自覚すること
The final sentence states: 「副業をする側にも、確かな目的意識が欠かせない。」Those who do side jobs must have a solid sense of purpose. Option 3 (何のために副業をするのかを明確に自覚すること) restates this: clearly understanding for what purpose one does a side job.
1「本業で得た経験を副業に生かすこと」(applying experience gained in the main job to the side job) is not mentioned as a requirement. The passage's example shows the friend succeeded with consulting (main job skill) and a side business, but the stated requirement is purpose awareness, not skill transfer.
2「本業に対しても常に意欲を失わないこと」(never losing motivation for the main job) is not stated as a requirement for side-job employees. While motivation is discussed in the context of company benefits, it is not framed as a requirement for the individual doing side work.
4「成功した人のまねをせず、新しい分野に挑戦すること」(not imitating successful people and challenging new fields) is a misreading. The passage uses the failed imitation as a cautionary example, but the stated requirement is 確かな目的意識, not 'don't imitate' or 'challenge new fields.'
確かな — solid, reliable, clear
目的意識 — sense of purpose
欠かせない — indispensable, essential
