PrepTest 108 - Section 3 - Question 22

Show summary

Jim: I hear that the company is considering giving Fred and Dorothy 25 percent raises. ████ █████ ████ █████ ████████ ██████ ████ █████ █████ █ ████ ██████ ████ ██████ ████ ████ █████ ██ █████ ██ ██████ ██ █████ █████ ████████ ██████ ████ ██ ██████ ██ ██ █████ ████ ██████ ████ ███

Summary

Jim argues that, because he has worked at the same place longer than Fred and Dorothy, it would be unfair to raise their salaries without raising his to at least the same amount. Tasha responds that a number of other employees have worked there as long as Jim, so it would be unfair to raise his salary unless those other employees all got a raise to the same salary Jim would receive.

Notable Assumptions

Each speaker makes an argument based on how long different people have been working at the same job, and each concludes that it would be unfair for somebody to make more money than somebody else who has been working there just as long or longer. We’re looking for some principle that connects the two - that explains why that would be unfair.
