She interviewed for the two jobs; however, she accepted the second job, as it offered a higher ___. Which of the following is the correct completion of the sentence?

The correct completion of the sentence is "salary" because it specifically refers to a periodic payment made by an employer to an employee, usually expressed as an annual sum. In the context of the sentence, where she is evaluating two job offers, "salary" conveys that one job provides a higher fixed amount of money paid regularly, which is a key factor for job acceptance.

While "wage," "income," and "sallery" (which is a misspelling of salary) are also related to compensation, they do not fit as seamlessly in this context. "Wage" typically refers to hourly pay or a rate for work done, which can imply a less consistent amount compared to the more stable notion of a "salary." "Income" is a broader term that encompasses all earnings, not just those from employment, and does not specifically denote the regularity associated with a job offer. Lastly, "sallery" is not a valid word, making it an unsuitable choice. Therefore, "salary" is the most appropriate term to complete the sentence accurately.
