例題

問題 1

[Passage] Remote work has fundamentally changed the way companies approach talent acquisition.

However, managing teams across different time zones presents unique challenges in communication and collaboration. [Question] According to the passage, what is the main advantage of remote work for companies?

AIt reduces office maintenance costs.
BIt allows access to talent regardless of location.正解
CIt improves employee productivity.
DIt eliminates communication challenges.

[Passage] Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used in the recruitment process. Many large corporations now use AI-powered tools to screen resumes and conduct initial assessments of candidates. Proponents argue that AI can reduce unconscious bias in hiring decisions. Critics, however, warn that AI systems may perpetuate existing biases if they are trained on historically biased data. [Question] What concern do critics raise about AI in recruitment?

AAI is too expensive for most companies to implement.
BAI cannot accurately assess candidate qualifications.
CAI may reinforce existing biases through biased training data.正解
DAI will completely replace human recruiters.

解説
