To define the variable and write an inequality to model the situation:
Let \( s \) be the law clerk's salary.
The situation states that the law clerk has earned at least $25,000 since being hired. This translates to saying that the salary \( s \) must be greater than or equal to $25,000.
Thus, the correct inequality is:
**B. \( s \geq 25,000 \)** (s is greater than or equal to 25,000)
