Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Option A explains a potential flaw with automated systems, that they may reject applicants who did not use the exact keywords as the job description, even though they may be qualified for the position. This weakens Gary's claim that automated systems are better than humans at picking the right profiles. The other options either do not address the effectiveness of the automated systems or highlight their drawbacks but do not directly weaken Gary's claim.
