Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 applies only to employees who are forty years of age or older, like Manny. It does not matter the age of the replacement employee, Lita. Option A is incorrect because it is not necessary for Lita to be over forty. Option B is incorrect because it would not trigger the protections under the ADEA if Lita was over forty. Option D is incorrect because it is irrelevant to the application of the ADEA.
