Sagot :

Answer: c. A delivery service manager fires a female employee after making numerous comments about how unreliable he thinks women are.

Explanation:

It is explicitly prohibited by Federal law to fire someone on the basis of their gender. The delivery service manager in this scenario did just that when he fire the female employee based on his prejudiced feeling towards women at work.

In doing so, the man broke federal law and illegally terminated the employee's employment. She has the right to seek redress with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
