BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Question at position 5 asks which statement is correct about sexual harassment in the given options. 
Option 1: 'Only gay men will sexually harass a man' is incorrect. Sexual harassment can be perpetrated by anyone, regardless of their own sexual orientation or gender identity, and it is about the behavior and its impact, not the harasser's orientation.
Option 2: 'A single incident may amount to sexual harassment' is correct. The definition of sexual harassment includes any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that is persistent or severe enough to create a hostile or inappropriate environment, and a single incident can meet that threshold depending on its severity and impact.
Option 3: 'If a person did not try to fight their harasser off, then it was not sexual harassment' is incorrect. The experience of harassment does not require the victim to resist or physically defend themselves; many people may fear retaliation, feel powerless, or be in situations where resistance is not feasible, yet the conduct can still constitute harassment and impact the person’s rights and well-being.
In sum, option 2 captures the nuanced range of sexual harassment, acknowledging that a single incident can be sufficient to qualify as harassment, while options 1 and 3 rely on inaccurate or overly simplistic assumptions about who can harass and how victims respond.
