Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kit's decision to replace male employees with females is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on sex. Long-Term Care may be held liable for Kit's conduct because they should have known about the discriminatory actions and taken steps to prevent it. Kit is also liable for retaliating against Nia, who refused to cooperate with the discriminatory actions. The male employees may have a case for discrimination as well, but their decision to quit does not absolve Long-Term Care or Kit of liability. Therefore, the best choice is B.
