I am new to GMAT, but to me this one seems like a question that has unnecessarily been designed to appear like a difficult question. Is this anywhere near to what comes in acual GMAT exam?

Summary of the passage:
[hr]
Now let’s go through the options:
A. Office goers are representative of overtime workers in general.
✅ Correct Answer: E
Because the whole passage casts doubt on the truth of this idea — that "more hours = better performance."
- Some companies judge employee performance by how many hours they spend in the office.
- But working long hours doesn’t always mean someone is productive.
- Some people may just stay late to look good, not because they are actually doing more or better work.
- Others might waste regular working hours, and then do a little extra just to show they stayed late.
[hr]
Now let’s go through the options:
A. Office goers are representative of overtime workers in general.
- Not related. The objection is not about who represents whom, but about how hours worked reflect performance.
- This is extreme. The passage says some people waste time, not everyone or that it’s the main activity.
- Irrelevant. The passage is talking about how performance is measured, not who it is measured for.
- This is true and mentioned in the passage, but it’s not the main objection being raised.
- 🔥 This is the key point being questioned in the passage.
- The passage says: What if people stay late just to look good? What if they waste time in the day?
- So, the passage is doubting whether hours spent at work actually reflect performance.
✅ Correct Answer: E
Because the whole passage casts doubt on the truth of this idea — that "more hours = better performance."
