Answer: D. Not gender-discriminatory

1. Check for gender discrimination: The ad lists requirements: High School-pass and time availability. No gender is mentioned or preferred. Option A (Gender-discriminatory) is therefore not supported by the text. Option D (Not gender-discriminatory) is supported — the ad is open to all genders.
2. Check remaining options: B. Xenophobic — no mention of nationality restrictions; not supported. C. Not designed to attract — ad offers transportation paid and expense reimbursement, which are attractive features; contradicted by text. D. Not gender-discriminatory — directly supported by the absence of any gender requirement.
