Stella Valencia · Answer 1

Given the description, Mary appears to work in c, a dead-end job, because she cannot achieve the goal of medical benefits given the near impossibility of meeting the full-time employment requirement to earn the benefit. Full-time for such a long period seems to be a policy written, perhaps, to avoid the employment agency's obligation to provide medical coverage.
