Although the owner of a certain farm said that all her Central American (for example, Salvadoran and Honduran) workers were working legally, Border Patrol Agents discovered that many of the farm’s employees were not authorized to work in the United States. After checking the employees’ documentation, Border Patrol Agents discovered that all of the female employees were working in the United States legally and none of the illegal workers were from Honduras.
Explanation
Answer: A - The correct answer is A. The last sentence of the paragraph states that none of the illegal workers were from Honduras, which is equivalent to saying that none of the employees from Honduras were working illegally. Given that none were working illegally, it must be the case that all were working legally.
From the information in the paragraph, we know that all of the female employees were working legally and that all of the employees from Honduras were working legally. However, there is insufficient information to determine how many of the female employees were from Honduras. Therefore, Responses C, D, and E cannot be validly concluded. Response B contradicts the information that all of the female employees were working legally.
