Older employees are entitled to substantially more notice of termination than their younger counterparts. Which group is the comparison made against?

• A. Senior Managers
• B. Younger
• C. Part-Time Employees
• D. Contractors

Answer: (B)

The comparison is with younger employees. When you read that sentence, the phrase younger counterparts signals the group used for contrast. In age-based comparisons, the relevant comparator is those of a younger age, not other categories like position (senior managers), employment status (part-time, contractors), or any other non-age factor. So the statement is drawing the difference in notice rights by age, comparing older employees to younger ones.
