Answer to Question 1

Answer: E
Explanation: E) It's common for companies to ask applicants for references, before extending credit or awarding contracts, promotions, employment, or scholarships. Such requests are legal in the U.S. They aren't based on an applicant's credit rating, and they're not a diplomatic way of denying applications.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Some companies will not allow their employees to write letters of recommendation. Therefore, you should check about providing a recommendation even with someone you know well and are in frequent contact with.
