We 'check impact' — the standard, simple collocation for auditing a selection list for unintended bias. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the full rationale on file for each affected employee, rather than a verbal justification nobody actually wrote down.'
We 'document a rationale' — the standard, simple collocation for recording the reasoning behind a decision. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
