Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: Not gender-discriminatory
Explanation: The advertisement lists required qualification, availability for different shifts, and that transportation and expenses will be covered. It does not mention or imply any gender requirement or restriction, so the most supported inference is that the post is not gender-discriminatory.
Why the inference 'gender-discriminatory' is incorrect: There is no mention of gender or any exclusion based on gender in the ad.
Why the inference 'xenophobic' is incorrect: The ad contains no reference to nationality, origin, or any restriction against outsiders.
Why the inference 'not designed to make the post attractive' is incorrect: The ad offers incentives (transportation paid, expenses reimbursed) and clear scheduling details, which indicate attempts to make the position acceptable to applicants.
