At a certain company, the Performance Review Committee is a group of employees that have been elected to conduct performance evaluations. An employee who is the subject of a performance evaluation writes a self-report and invites fellow employees to submit external evaluations to be considered by the committee. After the self-report and external evaluations have been submitted, the committee meets to conduct the performance review. Attendance is restricted during such reviews. The diagram shows the process for determining whether attendance is mandatory, optional, or prohibited for a given employee.
Select from each drop-down menu the option that creates the most accurate statement.

Actually the flow chart is very simple and the answer straight forward, but the problem is that there is a good chance of a test taker reading it incorrectly. There is some ambiguity and it takes a moment to realize it. Upon first read I knew what the answer should be to make sense but was confused by the second question box.
Instead of "Did the employee submit an external evaluation?" read it as "Did the employee write an external evaluation for the subject of the evaluation?"
Say the subject of the review is an employee X. Say employee Y wrote an external evaluation for employee X.
Now whether an employee (X or Y or Z etc) is allowed to attend this meeting - we get to know using the flowchart.
If the employee is a committee member, he must attend. Even if it is X himself.
If the employee is not a committee member but he wrote an external evaluation for X (say employee Y), then attendance is optional.
If the employee did not write an external evaluation for X, then we need to check whether the employee is X himself. If yes, he cannot attend. If no (say it is Z), then attendance is optional.
According to the diagram, an employee who is _____ should never be allowed to attend a performance review unless that employee is also ______
So an employee is not allowed to attend his own review meeting unless the employee is also a committee member. In that case, he must attend.
"should never be allowed" hints at "subject of the review" in blank 1 because only that leads to "attendance is prohibited" and we know that if he is a committee member, he is allowed to attend.
Select "subject of the review" and "a committee member"

Because it is about who can take part at such a review. Taking part means that one doesn't only have to be the one who is evaluated but it can also be the evaluator itself, if you happen to be at an intersection of these 2 groups.
As you see, for the external evaluator the partaking is optional. However, the first option dictates what your second option can be. The first options is about the group that can never attend the committee evaluation meetings, which is the group of employees that are subject of the evaluation. Now, we have to understand what are the roles in a committee meeting. There is a committee member, whose attendance to the evaluation meeting is mandatory. Then they are those who are not committee members but who submitted an external evaluation. For this group, attendance is optional. If you are neither committee member nor external evaluation provider, you could be the subject of the evaluation. For those, the attendance at a committee meeting is prohibited, for everybody else not part of either of the 3 groups, the attendance is optional.
So the first one becomes clear: it must be the subject of the evaluation. If you are a subject of the evaluation, you cannot be external evaluation report writer, if you look at the diagram. It clearly shows that only if you are not external evaluation report writer, you can be subject of the evaluation. So what is left? You could actually be reviewing your own performance review as a committee member because nowhere is it mentioned that you cannot. Strange, but if not prohibited, this must be possible.
