Questions and instructions

Literal question

Question 142 : I'd like to relate an incident to you and ask your opinion of it. There are two secretaris, of the same age, doing practically the same job. One of the secretaries finds out that the other one earns …. (amount) a week more than she does. She complains to her boss. He says, quite rightly, that the other secretary is quicker, more efficient and more reliable at her job. In your opinion, is it fair or not fair that one secretary is paid more than the other?
