A study of 1000 American citizens has found that 70 per cent of them would not work for a company with bad reputation even if they were unemployed and that nearly 90 per cent of them would consider leaving their current jobs if they were offered another role with a company that had an excellent corporate reputation. Of those willing to work for a company with a bad reputation, the research found that, on average, it would take doubling an employee’s salary for them to make such a jump.
If the statements above are true, which of the following conclusions is most strongly supported by them?
(A) At least 10% of the people in the survey would not mind working for a company with a bad reputation but would also consider leaving their current jobs to join another company with excellent corporate reputation.
(B) The survey is representative of the worker pool across the United States.
(C) At least 25% of the people in the survey would agree to do an unethical act if their salary was substantially increased.
(D) For US workers, higher salary takes precedence over the reputation of the company they work for.
(E) If a company in the US expects to attract the best talent, it must either have an excellent corporate reputation or be ready to pay high salaries.

The study reports three facts about the 1,000 people surveyed: (1) 70% would not work for a company with a bad reputation even if unemployed (so 30% would), (2) nearly 90% would consider leaving their current job for a role at a company with an excellent reputation, and (3) those willing to work for a bad-rep company would, on average, require a doubling of salary to make the move. The passage supports conclusions about how reputation and salary affect workers’ choices, not about representativeness or unrelated behavior.
Eliminate wrong answers:
(B) The study’s sample size and results do not by themselves show the sample is representative of all U.S. workers. The passage gives no sampling information—so (B) is unsupported.
(C) The survey says nothing about willingness to do unethical acts, so (C) is irrelevant and unsupported.
(D) The data contradicts a blanket claim that salary takes precedence: 70% refuse bad-rep firms even when unemployed, and nearly 90% would leave for an excellent reputation—both show reputation often outweighs salary. So (D) is false.
(A) Numerically true but weak: since 30% would work for bad-rep companies and ~90% would consider leaving for excellent ones, the overlap must be at least 20% (by the pigeonhole principle), so the statement “at least 10%” is true. But it’s a tame numerical consequence and not the strongest general conclusion the data supports.
(E) This matches the study’s implications: most people prefer good reputation, and those willing to accept bad reputation require substantially higher pay. Therefore, to attract top talent a company would reasonably need either an excellent reputation or the ability to pay much higher salaries. This general policy conclusion follows directly from the reported facts and is the strongest supported inference.

Option A is correct because it is logically and mathematically guaranteed by the numbers in the passage.
Option E is tempting and reasonable, but is an inference that goes slightly beyond the data.
