This matters because —temporal work conditions determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply —temporal work conditions to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: —Temporal work conditions is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
