Suggested Answer: A, B, C

The correct answers are; suspiciously low labour costs, workers living on site and poor quality products (as this signals that the workforce may be unskilled).

A low score on the CPI is a good thing (high scores are more likely to signify slavery concerns) and just because someone speaks English as a second language doesn't mean you automatically need to be suspicious. That would be prejudice.

I think the benefit of incorporating standards is that it provides clear guidelines and removes ambiguity. So, I would go with option A.
