Answer to Question 1

Answer: E
Explanation: E) In most cases, your rsum needs to make a positive impression within a few seconds; only then will someone read it in detail. Moreover, it will likely be screened by a computer looking for keywords firstand if it doesn't contain the right keywords, a human being may never see it.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) If employers ask to see your CV, they're referring to your curriculum vitae, the term used instead of rsum in academic professions and in many countries outside the United States. Rsums and CVs are essentially the same, although CVs can be much more detailed and include personal information that is not included in a rsum.
