Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement refers to a wage disparity based on differences in talent, as it compares the earnings of two football coaches at different levels (college and high school). It suggests that Saban may be earning more due to his greater talent and abilities in coaching compared to the local high school coach. The other options do not necessarily relate to differences in talent or ability, as they could be attributed to factors such as regional cost of living or industry demand.
