Answer 1

i believe the answer would be to attempt to equal. To emulate something would be to imitate or copy. And based on the statement "she asked questions to find out how the manager had reached his position of leadership", we can assume that they are trying to learn from them. 

Answer 2

The answer is: attempt to equal.

The word “emulate”, which in this passage has a positive connotation, means to match, to equal, to imitate. In the passage above, the cashier wishes to become as good as the manager, to imitate him and his achievement that got him to a position of leadership. The cashier, most likely, through these actions, wishes to achieve a higher position or a better paid working position.
