C or E Choose E, because the facts that "all" managers suffer from stress, and if they receive bonuses, they have to be working for more than 40 hours. In C, we don't know if the other employees have second/third jobs. although there seems to be a mistake in the passage (see blue text), shouldn't be whereas the other employees ? goalsnr wrote: Any combination of overwork and stress inevitably leads of insomnia.

It is a conclusion type question not strengthen type. Hence we should avoid straying away from the argument.
In that Case i feel that option B is the correct answer as the option says that " Most managers recieve overtime payment " which is in conjunction with the argument.
Pls post OA and OE

E... and why is it that OPs don't post the answer immediately? They certainly are given the option to do so before submitting their question.

Yes the correct answer is E. The condition for Overwork is not explicitly stated.
Hence, the correct answer is E.
