To model the situation stated in the problem, we need to define the variable correctly.
Let \( s \) represent the law clerk's salary.
The situation indicates that the law clerk has earned **more than** $40,000 since being hired. This is expressed mathematically with an inequality.
The correct inequality should express that \( s \) is greater than 40,000.
So, the correct option is:
**A. \( s > 40,000 \)**.
