The following statements describe certain characteristics of a certain pool of candidates for a position. Any candidate who did not meet the minimum qualifications for the position was immediately excluded from consideration. The two candidates who met the minimum qualifications for the position and met all of the desired qualifications also had multiple recommendations. All candidates who received a telephone interview also had extensive experience. All candidates who had extensive experience and impressed the hiring committee during the telephone interview were invited to interview on-site. At least one candidate declined an invitation for an on-site interview, and exactly one candidate was interviewed on-site without receiving a telephone interview.
Consider the following incomplete sentence:
If any candidate _______1________, then that candidate _______2________.

A Venn diagram will help you solve this question. This is how you will make it (as shown in the attachment)Consider the following incomplete sentence:

Makes sense. No need to note down.
The two candidates who met the minimum qualifications for the position and met all of the desired qualifications also had multiple recommendations.
Note down
All candidates who received a telephone interview also had extensive experience. All candidates who had extensive experience and impressed the hiring committee during the telephone interview were invited to interview on-site.
Venn diagram since there are multiple relations in these variables. Tel Interview circle inside Ext Experience.
On site invite circle overlaps with Tel Interview circle. (These people already have extensive exprience)
At least one candidate declined an invitation for an on-site interview, and exactly one candidate was interviewed on-site without receiving a telephone interview.
Noted in the venn diagram.
If any candidate _______1________, then that candidate _______2________.
Since the Tel Interview circle lies inside the Ext Experience circle, anyone who impressed during the Tel interview also lies inside the Ext Experience circle.
ANSWER 1 - impressed the hiring committee during the telephone interview
2 - had extensive experience

Consider the following incomplete sentence:
If any candidate _______1________, then that candidate _______2________.
You could move straight to the options and substitute options in blank 1 to check whether any other option fits in 2.Consider the following incomplete sentence:
If any candidate _______1________, then that candidate _______2________.
1. did not meet the minimum qualifications
We know, any one who did not meet the minimum qualifications was immediately rejected. But we do not have the second part 'immediately rejected' in the options. Discard the option.
2. had multiple recommendations
The portion talking of mulitple recommendations, 'The two candidates who met the minimum qualifications for the position and met all of the desired qualifications also had multiple recommendations' does not really give us any way in which we can convert this along with the options available in If then sentence. Discard
3. had extensive experience
Now, extensive experience is spoken about at two places.
a. All candidates who received a telephone interview also had extensive experience.
b. All candidates who had extensive experience and impressed the hiring committee during the telephone interview were invited to interview on-site.
Now b could have just been written without 'who had extensive experience' as all candidates called for telephone interview had extensive experience, and a person could impress the interview team only if he was called.
So, If any candidate had extensive experience, then X. Nothing would fit in X.
However point a above does tell us that : If any candidate was called for interview then he had extensive experience.
Thus, this option is a contender for Blank 2, if we have an appropriate option for Blank 1.
4. impressed the hiring committee during the telephone interview
The above two points stand good for this option too.
Any cadidate who impressed the hiring committee during the telephone interview would have surely been called for interview, and if he was called for interview, then he had extensive experience.
Thus, this option fits in correctly for Blank 1.
5. impressed the hiring committee during the telephone interview
If this option was not there, the question would be so much easier. We know those impressing hiring committee are invited for tele interview.
'Invited' is very cleverly left out by the test makers to make it a trap and trick you into marking a wrong answer.
Blank 1. impressed the hiring committee during the telephone interview
Blank 2. had extensive experience
