Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Requiring someone to be young, entry level, senior or mature is an indication of age. Requiring an objective amount of experience, which can be acquired at any age, is least likely to indicate an age bias.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) It's easy to push euphemisms too far and wind up sounding ridiculousor worse yet, obscuring the truth. Even if it is unpleasant, people respond better to an honest message delivered with integrity than they do to a sugar-coated message that obscures the truth.
