Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best defense against Mackey's sex discrimination suit would be showing that Wanda was hired for a legitimate reason, and not just because of her gender. Option A shows that the employer had a specific need for a female security guard to handle certain tasks, which Mackey may not have been able to perform due to gender. This shows that the employer had a valid reason for hiring Wanda over Mackey. Options B, C, and D are not relevant to the hiring decision and do not provide a legitimate defense against a discrimination suit.
