Q1. While the salaries of senior technicians have increased by an average of 10% over the last five years, those of junior technicians have increased only by 5% over the same period.

The most suitable conclusion is

A) The ever-increasing salary difference between the two groups of technicians is a natural development since a third-party survey showed that the average senior technician’s qualifications are much higher than those of a junior technician.
不對，因為文中沒有說過關於資格(qualifications)的事。

B) It has been discovered that there was a 5% difference in the pay rise between the senior technicians and their junior counterparts, which shows a double standard in the pay review policy for these two groups of employees.
正確，這句客觀地指出上文提及的兩類人士薪酬升幅的分野。

C) To conclude, the findings explain the senior technicians’ grudge against junior technicians since the former believed that the latter’s low pay rise was a disgrace to their profession.
不對，因為文中沒有說過關於個人感覺：grudge, disgrace 的描述。

Q2. The most suitable recommendation is

A) We recommend reviewing our senior technicians’ and junior technicians’ pay increase in the light of the current labour market trend in order to determine a reasonable pay rise for both groups of technicians.
正確，從上文可見兩類人士的薪酬升幅不同，所以一個合理的建議是去檢討(review)一下薪酬升幅，從而決定(determine)一個對於兩類技術員(technician)都合理(reasonable)的薪酬升幅水平。

B) We suggest conducting a survey to find out the actual salary increase for both our senior technicians and junior technicians so that we can calculate the percentages of their pay increase again with the new data.
不對，因為文中沒有提及數據或結果有問題，所以無必要做一個調查(survey)去重新計算薪酬升幅。

C) We suggest increasing junior technicians’ salaries by 15% so that junior technicians will have a higher pay rise than senior technicians.
不對，因為文中沒有表示出任何應該提升初級技術員(junior technician)薪酬的原因，更遑論要使他們的薪酬升幅高於高級技術員(senior technician)。
