Answer:

Explanation:

QUID PRO QUO HARASSMENT occurs in the workplace when a manager or other authority figure like the supervisors offers or merely hints that he or she will give the employee something (a raise or a promotion) in return for that employee's satisfaction of a sexual demand. This also occurs when a manager or other authority figure says he or she will not fire or reprimand an employee in exchange for some type of sexual favor.

The implication is that she must comply with the hiring manager's advances in order to get hired just as in the case of Sarah which involved David her supervisor promising her a raise, or a promotion in exchange for a sexual demand.
