Answer 1

The correct answers are A and B

This is essential to allow candidates to have a realistic perspective about a job before applying to it. In this context, only option A and B are Realistic Job Previews because these two options explain the positives and negatives of a job (police officer and tax accountant), while other options only focus on the negative or the positive, which is biased
