Question

what is the meaning of the word compensation as used in the passage? a survey found that nearly half of workers didnt negotiate the compensation at their current jobs. a faltering economy and years of layoffs made many employees avoid the negotiation process and simply accept the pay that was offered. money given for doing a job an increase in payment job responsibilities

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "compensation", we analyze the context. The passage says workers didn't negotiate compensation and "simply accept the pay that was offered". "Pay" here refers to money for work. The first option "money given for doing a job" matches this, as "compensation" in this context relates to the payment for work. The second option (increase in payment) is incorrect because the passage is about the initial pay offered, not an increase. The third option (job responsibilities) is unrelated to pay.

Answer:

A. money given for doing a job
