Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. By granting a promotion to Mark despite Harry's better qualifications, Laura may have discriminated against Harry based on his belonging to a minority community. Harry's threat to sue suggests that he believes there has been a violation of his civil rights.
