question 2 (2.5 points)\nwhat might employers assume about women with career gaps?\n○ they have more experience.\n○ they are overqualified.\n○ they are less committed to their careers.\n○ their skills may be outdated.

Answer

Brief Explanations:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

  • "They have more experience" is incorrect because career gaps don't imply more experience.
  • "They are overqualified" is not related to career gaps.
  • "They are less committed to their careers" is a common employer assumption about women with career gaps (often due to gender - related biases, assuming career gaps (e.g., for caregiving) mean less career focus).
  • "Their skills may be outdated" is more about time out of the workforce affecting skills, but the more likely gender - based assumption is about commitment.

Answer:

C. They are less committed to their careers.
