In three years at the company, Mr John rose to the ________ of sales director.

a) level
b) height

Looks very simple...but that simplicity makes me this crazy tonight...

This is essentially a vocabulary question. In jobs, we usually talk about different levels, not different heights.

height can vary infinitely; if you move up or down a tenth of a millimeter, you have changed your height. level is different; level implies certain points. For example, a building might have three levels, but only one height.

Hope that helps!
