    False-negative error

    Explanation:

    A "false positive" is when a good quality item gets rejected. A false negative error, is an assessment that indicates that a condition does not hold, while in fact it does.

    Jacob wasn't given a job by The News Curator because they thought he wasn't good, but then jacob later turned out to be awarded the best reporter within a year. This is a case of False-negative error, because while they thought jacob wasn't good enough, Jacob actually turned out to be the best.

    B. First-impression errors

    Explanation:

    Research has shown that during an interview, interviewers use early impressions about candidates in the first 30 seconds to two and a half minutes to make decisions about these candidates. The tendency for interviewers to make these decision, whether positive or negative, in relation to a candidate in the first few second or minutes is what is referred to as first-impression error.
