Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3, i.e. conducting.

Context: The sentence talks about the people who are doing or leading the interview process. We need a word that fits this role.

Meaning of the words:


Carrying – to hold or transport something
Applying – to request or try for a job
Conducting – to lead or manage an activity
Employing – to hire someone for work

Correct word: Conducting is the most suitable word here because it means the people who are leading or managing the interview.

Reason: The people who are taking the interview (interviewers) are the ones conducting it, not carrying, applying, or employing.

Final Sentence: ...that will allow the people conducting the interview to assess the candidate.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
