Madison Mayberry, a Black Woman, Has Worked in the Mailroom

Question 48

Multiple Choice

Madison Mayberry, a black woman, has worked in the mailroom at Worldwide Pictures for 16 years. When a mailroom supervisor position becomes open, Madison applies for the job but she is not selected. Instead, Renee Alton, the director of administration, hires Sally Wright, a white woman. When Madison complains to Renee, she says that she selected Sally because they are best friends and Sally needed a better job after her divorce. Madison files a complaint of racial discrimination with the EEOC.


A) Madison will prevail on her complaint because she is clearly better qualified than the person who was selected and that person is of a different race.
B) Madison will prevail on her complaint because Renee's explanation is unbelievable and is an obvious pretext for discrimination.
C) Madison will not prevail because not every decision that is arbitrary or unfair is discrimination.
D) Madison will not prevail because it would be an undue hardship on Sally if she were not selected for the supervisory job.
