We can infer from the last paragraph that Select one: a. candidates must be open about their personal information. b. job-seekers are legally required to answer all questions. c. employers may not always be aware of illegal questions. d. small businesses will ask

To accurately infer from the last paragraph, we need to carefully analyze the context provided. Since the specific content of the last paragraph is not given in your question, I will provide a general approach to deducing the correct answer based on typical scenarios involving job interviews and legal considerations.<br /><br />Let's break down each option:<br /><br />a. Candidates must be open about their personal information.<br />- This suggests that candidates are required to share personal details openly. However, this is generally not true as candidates have the right to privacy and can choose what personal information to disclose.<br /><br />b. Job-seekers are legally required to answer all questions.<br />- This implies that job-seekers have a legal obligation to respond to every question posed by an employer. In reality, job-seekers are not legally required to answer questions that are deemed inappropriate or illegal (e.g., questions about age, marital status, religion).<br /><br />c. Employers may not always be aware of illegal questions.<br />- This indicates that some employers might unintentionally ask questions that are illegal because they are unaware of the laws governing interview questions. This is a plausible scenario as not all employers, especially those without formal HR training, may know the specifics of employment law.<br /><br />d. Small businesses will ask inappropriate questions.<br />- This statement generalizes that small businesses are likely to ask inappropriate questions. While it is possible that smaller businesses might lack formal HR practices, it is not accurate to assume that all small businesses will ask inappropriate questions.<br /><br />Given these analyses, the most reasonable inference from the last paragraph would be:<br /><br />c. Employers may not always be aware of illegal questions.<br /><br />This option acknowledges the possibility that some employers might inadvertently ask illegal questions due to a lack of awareness, which aligns with common issues in job interview settings.
