Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sexual harassment can occur between people of the same or opposite sex, as it is based on the unwanted and unwelcome sexual advances or behavior towards another person.

Answer: B
 Many victims of sexual harassment do report it to the appropriate authorities, although unfortunately many do not due to fear of retaliation or disbelief of their claims.

Answer: C
 The Human Rights Commission does not suggest that the victim initially try to ignore the behavior before taking assertive measures. In fact, it is recommended that victims speak up right away and report the behavior to the appropriate authorities.

Answer: D
 Sexual harassment may carry a fine or other penalties, but the severity of the punishment depends on the specific laws and regulations in each jurisdiction. A maximum $500 fine is not necessarily accurate or applicable in every case of sexual harassment.
