Question 8 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Which of the following could replace 'invested' as used in the passage?

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and select the most suitable option according to the corresponding number in the passage.

Salary negotiation is an art. When you get a clear job offer from a potential employer, that is the right time to negotiate a suitable remuneration package. At this stage the company has already invested considerable time and resources on you and is convinced of your worth. At this point of time, to recruit you becomes the goal of the employer and the employer would be very much willing to spend more on you, probably much more than what he might have thought of in the beginning of the interview.

An important factor here is that you should be able to justify your every demand in terms of fairness. For example, if you are demanding something much more than most other people in the organisation, you should be able to support your demand by citing your plus points like your long experience, proven track record of roping in big clients or your ability to take the company to greater heights.
