Bob claims that money is his biggest motivator when searching for a job. But Bob just turned down a job for $50,000 a year in favor of a $40,000 a year job. Clearly Bob is lying to himself about what really motivates him.

Each of the following, if true, would undermine the conclusion of the argument EXCEPT:
  1. The lower paying job will not require Bob to commute, allowing him to sell his car and walk to work.
  2. The lower paying job has a profit sharing system allowing him to invest in the company.
  3. The lower paying job gives a $10,000 bonus to each employee every year.
  4. The lower paying job will allow Bob to work fewer hours than the higher paying job.
  5. The $40,000 job has a generous benefits package that makes up for the difference in salary.
Explanation
Answer: D - All of the answers other than D show how Bob could choose the $40,000 job because he is motivated by money. The hours worked are not relevant to the conclusion.
