Read the following passage and answer the questions given after it. 

When you are being interviewed for a job, remember that its normal for many people to be nervous, particularly in such a stress producing situation. There are plenty of jobs-indeed, probably most where a little nervousness isn’t looked at askance. It does help to dry a damp brow or a clammy hand just before meeting the interviewer, but otherwise, don’t be too concerned about the outward manifestations of your nervousness. Experienced interviewers will discount most physical signs of nervousness. The only one that people have a hard time ignoring is a fidgety hand. Interviewees who constantly twist their hands or make movements that are dramatically distracting are calling to their nervousness. Remember that interviewers talk to people in order to hire, not because they enjoy embarrassing, uneasy applicants. One way to overcome a flustered feeling, or “butterflies in the stomach”, is to note that interviewers want to hire people who have something to offer the company. If interviewers think you will fit into their organization, you will be the one who is sought after. It’s almost as if you are interviewing them to see if they are good enough for you.
