Gray worked for AT&T. She was accused of falsifying records to create an excuse for her absences and was fired. AT&T managers discussed this matter with a company that handled its unemployment benefits claims, as she filed for benefits. Gray contended the discussion was defamatory and sued AT&T. The court would be likely to hold that Gray had:
a. no claim; the discussion was in the ordinary course of business
b. no claim because federal legislation allows employers to discuss such work-related matters
c. no claim because all states have statutes that provide protection for employers against such suits, as does the law in most states
d. a claim because the accusation was not shown to be correct and injured her ability to obtain further employment
e. none of the other choices

Question 2

a. ignorance b. stupidity
c. lack of awareness
d. a state hunting license
e. none of the other choices are correct
