This is a correct answer. "To streamline (an object)" is to construct or design it in a form that offers least resistance to wind or air currents. The architectural movement "Streamline Moderne" of the 1930s used long horizontal lines and curved forms to create a "streamlined" look. Later in the 1950s, many American vehicles were streamlined, giving them a very distinctive form.
This is a correct answer. "To streamline (a process)" is "to optimize" or "simplify" it, with the goal of making it more "efficient". Ursula wants to make the Delavigne offices more efficient, so that there is no waste of energy or resources. "Streamlining" the Delavigne Corporation's practices may involve eliminating wasteful actions such as needless energy consumption or fuel costs.
This is a correct answer. In business terms, "to streamline (a company)" is to make it more efficient, often by making personnel changes, cutting costs or reducing waste/excess. The verb is sometimes used as a euphemism for other, more negative, terms such as "to sack" or "to fire".
This is incorrect. The verb "to streamline" has nothing to do with water or "streams". The best term to use here would be "to narrow" which means to decrease in width, for example: There is always a lot of traffic where the motorway narrows into 2 lanes.
This is incorrect. The verb "to streamline" has nothing to do with "punishment" or "criticism".
