Question

Benefits provide ______ and variable pay provides _____.

a. ​security / security
b. ​incentive / incentive
c. ​security / incentive
d. ​incentive / security

Answer 1

b. incentive / incentive

Neither benefits nor variable pay are normally seen as a secure income, as both are subject to change and rely on performance measurements that are subjective and/or can be affected by chance. However, since more is always better, both benefits and higher variable pay can be worked towards with effort.
