Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

When sexual harassment begins, the victim should confront the harasser, name the behavior as sexual harassment, and ask that the behavior stop. In some cases, the harasser may not be aware that behaviors are inappropriate and are offensive. Ignoring the behavior will not make it stop. Naming the behavior to the harasser may be sufficient to increase understanding and the behavior may stop. Reporting should follow chain of command if the behavior does not stop after the initial request.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

The victim of sexual harassment does not have to be the person who is being harassed. Anyone who is affected by the offensive conduct may make the charge of sexual harassment.
