Haha, I bet Jason's favorite team is the Fraud Fighters. Gotta keep those suspects on their toes, am I right?

B) Establish rapport, no doubt about it. Although I'm a little jealous of Dina's cool eyeglass frames - where can I get a pair like that?

D) Exhibit passive listening? Come on, that's just plain silly. Jason's clearly trying to engage Dina, not just sit back and listen.

Hmm, I was torn between B and C, but B makes the most sense. Gotta love Jason's sports team small talk - really breaking the ice there!

B) Establish rapport is definitely the right answer here. Jason's friendly approach is all about building a connection with Dina and making her feel at ease during the interview.
