Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Explaining the rejection opens the door to legal problems. If the rejection reason you offer can't be proved legally, the rejected person can claim some sort of discrimination was actually the true cause of the rejection. Because of these kinds of complications, many companies advocate the no explanations approach.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) As with other rejections, saying negative things about a person opens the door to legal problems. If your evaluation is negative, you should be able to document your claims using performance records, reports of problems and difficulties caused by the person, and official complaints.
