Answer 2

1. When Claire got to the entrance, the security guard asked her who she was. 2. Claire told the security guard her name and he asked if she had an ID card. 3. Since it was Claire's first day, she didn't have an ID card. She asked the security guard if there was a list of new employees. 4. The security guard looked at the list and Claire's name wasn't there. He asked her who hired her for the job. 5. Claire couldn't remember the interviewer's name, so the security guard called upstairs to ask if they hired her. 6. The upstairs confirmed that they did hire Claire, and the security guard let her in. Claire then asked the security guard where she could get an ID card, and he gave her one right away.

Overall, Claire's first day at work started off a bit challenging with the security guard questioning her identity and lack of an ID card. However, the situation was resolved when the security guard confirmed her employment and provided her with an ID card.
