Haha, can you imagine the senior manager coming back and finding out Jo hired a whole new team without their approval? That would be quite the homecoming!

B is a bit odd. Postponing staff appraisals? That's just asking for trouble. Jo needs to keep things running smoothly, not let everything grind to a halt.

E is just ridiculous. Cancelling job interviews? What is this, the dark ages? The work has to go on, even if the senior manager is sipping piña coladas on the beach.

D is also correct. Jo shouldn't have the same authority as the senior manager, that could lead to some serious issues. Gotta keep things in check while the boss is away.

A and C are the correct answers. We can't have the senior manager micromanaging from their vacation, that's not fair to Jo or the department.
