Question

Read the following passage and answer the question:The competitive civil-service system is designed to
give candidates fair and equal treatment and to ensure that federal applicants are hired based on objective
criteria. Hiring has to be based solely on a candidate's knowledge, skills, and abilities (which you'll
sometimes see abbreviated as ksa), and not on external factors such as race, religion, sex, and so on.
Whereas employers in the private sector can hire employees for subjective reasons, federal employers
must be able to justify their decision with objective evidence that the candidate is qualified. The paragraph
best supports the statement that
Select one:
a. ksa is not as important as test scores to federal employers
b. hiring in the private sector is inherently unfair
C. the civil service strives to hire on the basis of a candidate's abilities
O d. federal hiring practices are simpler than those employed by the private sector​

Answer 2

The paragraph supports the statement that the civil service strives to hire on the basis of a candidate's abilities.

• The competitive civil service system is intended to treat applicants fairly and equally, as was stated in the paragraph.
• It further guarantees that federal candidates are hired in accordance with impartial standards.
• The only factors considered in hiring must be a candidate's knowledge, skills, and abilities. This is also referred to as KSA.
• No outside variables, such as race, religion, sex, caste, etc., are taken into consideration when employing new employees.
• Also mentioned is the fact that hiring decisions made by private sector firms sometimes include subjectivity.
• However, federal employers must be able to convincingly demonstrate the candidate's qualifications in support of their selection.
• Therefore, the supporting statement is - Civil service strives to hire on the basis of a candidate's abilities.
