I'm having a problem understanding a sentence.
Your kind assistance would be very much appreciated!
Sentences below are an extract from a "Reading exercise" of my textbook.
The heading of this article is "How many friends should you have?".
..............................
An American study asked eighteen-year-olds to list their three best friends.
Years later, it was discovered that those named most often tended to be earning the most.
In fact, every extra friend added two percent to their salary.
The researchers believed that this is because people with better social skills do better in the workplace.
..............................
Underlined line is the questioned part.
I just can't get it and have no clue...
Please help me understand this.
Thank you
