Many people feel that hard work deserves a reward. However, this is not true.Hard work should be its own reward, because such work intrinsically gives the
worker satisfaction when it is performed satisfactorily.

Is it E
You can, for example never foretell what any one man will do, but you can say with precision what an average number will be up to!

Premise: Many people feel that hard work deserves a reward.
Counter-Premise: However, this is not true
Premise: because such work intrinsically gives the
worker satisfaction when it is performed satisfactorily.

Conclusion: Hard work should be its own reward


Answer is E. What is the OA?

Rajasekaran, in your analysis, you have selected wrong conclusion; the correct fields are:

Premise: Many people feel that hard work deserves a reward.
Counter-Premise: However, this is not true -----> THIS IS CONCLUSION
Premise: Hard work should be its own reward because such work intrinsically gives the worker satisfaction when it is performed satisfactorily. --> PREMISE SUPPORTING CONCLUSION

it must be E why
the passage says: However (however indicates its a conclusion), this is not true.Hard work should be its own reward, "now use why test that why it should be its own reward

the answer is given in the premise next to the conclusion starting with "because such work"[/u]

I believe it's letter "D".

True joy should be found in the work itself, and the goals should be met merely by the act of doing that work.Should this statement support the author's conclusion?
