That's about 4.5% turnover.

I think the turnover rate is around 4.5% based on my calculations, but I’m not entirely confident about how to interpret that in terms of the options given.

I feel like the answer might be significantly lower than average, but I can't recall the specific percentage that defines that.

I remember a practice question where we had to calculate turnover rates, and I think it was something like the number of terminations divided by the average number of employees.

I think turnover is calculated by dividing the number of terminations by the total number of employees, but I'm not sure about the exact formula.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the different profile options. I'll need to make sure I understand the differences between them.

I'm a bit confused on the nuances here. I'll need to review the relevant privacy laws and regulations to make sure I get this right.

I see the argument for option D, but isn't it dismissive to ignore past issues? It seems wise to scrutinize Glowing more closely given the history.
