Question

what is the purpose of the americans with disabilities act?
a. it guarantees that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as others.
b. it requires employers to hire some people with disabilities.
c. it prohibits employers from requesting genetic information.
d. it requires employers to reduce job requirements to permit disabled people to apply.

Explanation:

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) aims to ensure equal opportunities for people with disabilities in various aspects of life, including employment, public accommodations, etc. Option A correctly reflects this core purpose. Option B is incorrect as the ADA doesn't require employers to hire specific people. Option C is about the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) rather than ADA. Option D is not the main purpose of ADA; ADA is about equal access and opportunity rather than reducing job requirements.

Answer:

A. It guarantees that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as others.
