I practiced a question like this before, and I think it was about how merit pay can be optional for some companies.

Wages and salaries seem too fundamental to be a small proportion, but I can’t recall if merit pay is the right choice.

I’m not really sure, but I remember something about mandatory benefits being required, so that doesn’t seem right.

I think the answer might be merit pay since it’s often not used by all employers and can vary a lot.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I'll eliminate the options I'm sure aren't correct, then focus on the remaining ones to determine the best answer.

I'm going to have to go with C on this one. Merit pay is like the participation trophy of compensation - it's the thought that counts, I guess.

Definitely C. Merit pay is that bonus or raise you get if you really impress the boss, which not everyone gets.
