Which statement presents a comparative evaluation of others' performance?

• A. Cole thinks his work is superior to everyone else's
• B. Jonathan wants to transfer departments because he likes accounting better
• C. Kay has increased her sales by 40% this quarter
• D. Susan tardy four times

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is recognizing when a statement makes a comparison of performance between people. The statement about Cole says his work is superior to everyone else’s, which directly evaluates how his performance stacks up against others. That explicit comparison is what defines a comparative evaluation of others’ performance. The other statements don’t compare performance across people: Jonathan is expressing a department preference, Kay notes her own sales increase, and Susan’s remark describes lateness.
