PrepTest B, Section 4, Question 6
Willett: Lopez and Simmons, a married couple, have both been offered jobs at Evritech Corporation. Because Evritech has a rule against hiring more than one member of the same family, Lopez and Simmons have decided to reveal their marriage to Evritech. Their decision is foolish, however, since it will mean that one of them will have a job offer withdrawn. After all, they could easily keep their marriage secret initially and, if they want, later claim to have married after they were hired: Evritech has no policy of terminating one of two employees who marry each other.

The main conclusion of Willett's argument is that
Lopez and Simmons should not both have applied for jobs at Evritech Corporation
Evritech Corporation's rule against hiring more than one member of the same family is often not enforced
Lopez and Simmons would be unwise to reveal their marriage to Evritech Corporation without already having started to work there
Evritech Corporation should be willing to employ two members of the same family if it is willing to retain two of its employees who marry each other
Evritech Corporation is not likely to discover the marital status of Lopez and Simmons if they do not volunteer the information
