GMATNinja : I read all the reasoning for q1 and based on that even I answered the question correctly but I do have a small doubt. Can someone please help to clarify this?

When are looking at A1 characteristic it is about how to attract an employee but for manifestation we are picking options from the facts i.e. point 4 and point 5 which is for retaining employees. Is this manifestation acceptable? Am I thinking it correctly or too much?
I'll try to jump in on this. Initially, I had the same thought that A1 characteristics is directly related to attracting new employees whereas the evidence in Data tab, ie point 4 and 5 is related to retaining employees. For these type of doubts, I think the best approach is to go back to what the question is asking and understand what exactly it is asking.

Quote:
For each of the following characteristics listed on the Employment tab, select Manifested if the Interviews tab indicates that the characteristic is manifested by the ballet company in question. Otherwise, select Unknown or not manifested.
We need to find a characteristic, any characteristic on the Employment tab that indicates it's manifested by the ballet company according to the Data tab. The question doesn't ask us to find a characteristic amongst the same topic, it says "For each of the following characteristics listed" which means we take all the characteristics as characteristics regardless of if they represent attracting a talent or retaining one. If a characteristic is manifested in any of the 5 points in the Interviews tab, we say it's Manifested, and in all other cases we say Not Manifested.

The reasoning aligns well with any GMAT question out there, it's very important to carefully read and understand the question STEM and answer exactly what it's askign you to answer.
