Answer 1

Penelope is the only person mentioned in the question who receives a fixed weekly payment. The other options do not provide enough information to determine if they receive the same type of payment

Step-by-step explanation:

Penelope is hired as a software developer and receives a fixed weekly payment regardless of how many hours she works. To determine who else among the given options receives a fixed weekly payment, we need to analyze each option.Royal, a database architect who works 20 hours per week: It is not mentioned whether Royal receives a fixed weekly payment, so we cannot determine if he receives one.Abdul, who works for a software publisher that provides health insurance and a retirement savings account: Although Abdul receives health insurance and retirement savings account benefits, it is not mentioned whether he receives a fixed weekly payment. Lisa, who is hired as a computer and information research scientist and must have a master's degree: It is not mentioned whether Lisa receives a fixed weekly payment, so we cannot determine if she receives one.Based on the information provided, we cannot determine who among the given options also receives a fixed weekly payment. Therefore, the correct answer is 4) Cannot be determined.
