Barbie · Answer 1

The answer is: C) "Dear Senior Manager of Human Resources"

Explanation:

If Brian uses the expression "Dear Sir" or "Dear Madam" he will be displaying gender bias, by assuming the gender of the senior manager. If he just says "Hi" he wouldn't be considered very polite and formal.

The best way he can address the person is by just naming the position without regarding whether a man or a woman is the manager. That way he will be seen as both polite and formal.
