A study of full-time employees in Britain revealed that female workers take more days off from work due to illness than do male workers. The same study also revealed that female workers are more likely than male workers to go into work when they are sick.
Which of the following most logically proceeds from the argument?
(A) Many illnesses are more common in women than in men.
(B) Female workers are absent from work more often due to childbearing and related medical conditions.
(C) Both male and female workers sometimes call in sick when they are actually healthy.
(D) Female workers in Britain are sick on more days of the year than are male workers in Britain.
(E) Having sick people in the workplace spreads illness.

(A) Talks about the types of illness in Men Vs Women (Wrong)
(B) Talks about childbearing and related medical conditions, we can not pin point the reaoons (Wrong)
(C) Talks about leave when they are healthy , we are not certain about that (Wrong)
(E) Talks about spreading illness due to sick people, not discussed in the stimulus (wrong)
Only option (D) talks in line with the highlighted part of the stimulus, hence IMHO (D)

(B) Female workers are absent from work more often due to childbearing and related medical conditions. > same as above
(C) Both male and female workers sometimes call in sick when they are actually healthy. > cant infer
(D) Female workers in Britain are sick on more days of the year than are male workers in Britain. > inline with the argument
(E) Having sick people in the workplace spreads illness. > Might be true in the real world but in this argument, we don't have sufficient info to infer that

A study of full-time employees in Britain revealed that female workers take more days off from work due to illness than do male workers. The same study also revealed that female workers are more likely than male workers to go into work when they are sick.
Type- inference
(A) Many illnesses are more common in women than in men. - Out of scope
(B) Female workers are absent from work more often due to childbearing and related medical conditions. - Out of scope - the argument does not provide any such information
(C) Both male and female workers sometimes call in sick when they are actually healthy. - Incorrect - while this may be true in real life, the argument does not provide such information
(D) Female workers in Britain are sick on more days of the year than are male workers in Britain. - Correct
(E) Having sick people in the workplace spreads illness. - Out of scope
Answer D
1. In Britain, female workers take more days off from work due to illness than do male workers --> 1A. Female workers in Britain are sick on more days of the year than are male workers in Britain
1B. In Britain, female workers are more likely than male workers to go into work when they are sick.
1A can be inferred from 1 since statement 1 explicitly mentions taking off due to illness.
1B acts as a strengthener for 1A since it reinforces the fact that the number of days on which female workers are sick is more than the number of sick leave taken by them.
2. In Britain, female workers take more sick leaves than do male workers --> 2A. female workers in Britain are sick on more days of the year than are male workers in Britain
2B. In Britain, female workers are more likely than male workers to go into work when they are sick.
2C. In Britain, female workers are more likely to be sick when they take sick leave than male workers are.
I don't think 2A can be inferred from 2 because people might take sick leaves even when they aren't actually sick.
But, if we combine 2 and 2C, then we can infer 2A?
Does 2B have any effect on statement 2A?
