b) She dressed too provocatively.
c) She bragged too much.
d) Mentioning her current employer was inappropriate.
e) She should not have brought up salary.

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe the answer is: E

Explanation:

Bringing up your current salary is something that could very well be considered 'inappropriate behavior' during a interview for a job. When filling out your application, you are normally required to express your needs/wants when it comes to money; that said, comparing how much you make at another company to the one you are applying for is disrespectful and should not be done.

Answer 2

It is b she dressed too provocatively
