Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario best illustrates disparate treatment, as Annette was rejected for the job only because of her gender, which is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and a form of intentional discrimination. Adverse impact refers to a situation where a neutral employment practice has a disproportionate impact on a protected group, and affirmative action refers to policies that aim to address historical discrimination against specific groups. Minority domination is not relevant to this scenario.
