Question 2

According to a newly added office smoking regulation, only employees who have an enclosed office may smoke at their desks.
 
  This leads to a major conflict between various employees as virtually all employees with enclosed offices are higher-level managers and all other employees lack enclosed offices. Therefore, the lower-level employees who smoke argue that they should be offered enclosed offices. Which of the following, if true, strengthens the employees' argument?
  A) The company is a zealous supporter of the Kick the Butt campaigna corporate anti-smoking campaign.
  B) Higher-level managers, who have enclosed offices, are willing to share their offices with-lower level employees.
  C) The smoking regulations allow all employees who smoke an equal opportunity to do so, regardless of an employee's job level.
  D) Employees at the higher level, who do not smoke, do not have enclosed offices.
  E) The company has a limited budget for infrastructure modifications.

Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: A) In behavioral structured interviews, applicants describe how they handled specific problems and situations in previous jobs, based on the assumption that past behavior offers the best predictor of future behavior.

Answer to Question 2

C
Explanation: C) If the smoking regulations allow all employees who smoke an equal opportunity to do so, regardless of an employee's job level, then the employees are justified in demanding enclosed offices. Hence, this strengthens their argument. If higher-level managers are willing to share, this only weakens the employees' argument as they don't need separate offices. The other options are all against rather than for the employees' argument. The fact that the company is a zealous supporter of the Kick the butt before you kick the bucket campaign is out of scope.
