Explanation:
The statement "Had she asked me earlier, I might have been able to employ him" expresses a conditional situation — if the person had asked earlier, the speaker could have employed him, but because she did not ask earlier, the speaker did not employ him.

The underlined statement implies that the opportunity to employ him was missed due to the timing, hence the correct meaning is "I did not employ him."

Why the other options are incorrect:
A. I employed her – This is irrelevant to the context. The sentence refers to employing "him," not "her."

C. I did not employ her – This is also irrelevant because the sentence mentions "him," not "her."

D. I employed him – This contradicts the original sentence, which indicates that the speaker did not employ him.

E. I employ neither of the two – This is not a suitable interpretation of the original sentence, as it focuses on two people instead of one.
