Any combination of overwork and stress inevitably leads to insomnia. Managers at HiCorp, Inc., all suffer from stress. A majority of the managers—despite their doctors' warnings—work well over 60 hours per week, whereas the other managers work no more than the normal 40 hours per week. HiCorp gives regular bonuses only to employees who work more than 40 hours per week.
Which of the following conclusions is most strongly supported by the statements above?
(A) Managers at HiCorp work under conditions that are more stressful than the conditions under which managers at most other companies work.
(B) Most of the employee bonuses given by HiCorp are given to managers.
(C) At HiCorp, insomnia is more widespread among managers than among any other group of employees.
(D) No manager at HiCorp who works only 40 hours per week suffers from overwork.
(E) Most of the managers at HiCorp who receive regular bonuses have insomnia.
Which of the following conclusions is most strongly supported by the statements above?

Hi Jai. I'm glad to help.
ANALYZE THE STIMULUS:
Fact 1: overwork + stress = insomnia.
Fact 2: All Managers at HiCorp, Inc., suffer from stress.
Fact 3: A majority of the managers (despite their doctors warnings) work well over 60 hours per week, whereas the other managers work no more than the normal 40 hours per week.
Fact 4: HiCorp gives regular bonuses only to employees who work more than 40 hours per week.
Which of the following conclusions is most strongly supported by the statements above?
ANALYZE EACH ANSWER:
(A) Managers at HiCorp work under conditions that are more stressful than the conditions under which managers at most other companies work.
Wrong. “other companies” is out scope.
(B) Most of the employee bonuses given by HiCorp are given to managers.
Wrong. Can’t infer that.
(C) At HiCorp, insomnia is more widespread among managers than among any other group of employees.
Wrong. “any other group” is out of scope.
(D) No manager at HiCorp who works only 40 hours per week suffers from overwork.
Wrong. We do NOT have a definition of “overwork”, 40 hours/week or 50hours/week? The stimulus just says working more than 60h/week is overwork because of the doctors warnings. But under 60h/week, we don’t know. However, we 100% sure that managers who work more than 60 hours/week suffers from overwork because their doctors warned them. See fact #3.
(E) Most of the managers at HiCorp who receive regular bonuses have insomnia.
Correct. All managers at Hicorp suffers from stress. In addition, ONLY managers who overwork (more than 60 hours/week) receive bonuses. These manager suffer from both stress and overwork, thus they have insomnia.
Hope it helps.

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 ?

But wrong nonetheless.
