McCann and Ventrell-Monses (2010) say that 40 years after the ADEA's enactment, ________ continues to impede the achievement of equal treatment for older people in the workplace.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sentence states that 40 years after the enactment of ADEA, equal treatment for older people in the workplace is still being impeded. The term used to describe this impediment is age discrimination, which is defined as treating someone differently based on their age. Therefore, choice A is the best answer. Stereotyping and scapegoating are related to ageism, which is a broader term that encompasses prejudice and discrimination towards individuals based solely on their age. However, neither of these two choices specifically addresses the impediments to equal treatment in the workplace as mentioned in the sentence.
