Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
Yorco and Zortech are two corporations that employ large numbers of full-time
workers who are paid by the hour. Publicly available records indicate that Yorco
employs roughly the same number of such hourly wage workers as Zortech does but
spends a far higher total sum per year on wages for such workers. Therefore, hourly
wages must be higher, on average, at Yorco than at Zortech, since _____.
A. Zortech spends a higher total sum per year than Yorco does to provide its
hourly wage workers with benefits other than wages ->
this opposes hence eliminateB. the work performed by hourly wage workers at Zortech does not require a
significantly higher level of skill than the work performed by hourly wage
workers at Yorco does ->
out of scope eliminateC. the proportion of all company employees who are hourly wage workers is
significantly greater at Yorco than it is at Zortech ->
this does not support since no . of hourly paid workers is same for bothD. overtime work, which is paid at a substantially higher rate than work done
during the regular work week, is rare at both Yorco and Zortech ->
out of scope eliminate E.
the highest hourly wages paid at Yorco are higher than the highest hourly
wages paid at Zortech
