Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the language of the question, Reese's drug use is what limits her ability to walk properly, not a disability covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Therefore, if the ADA does not cover conditions of substance abuse, then Reese cannot claim that her company discriminated against her based on a covered disability. Choices A, B, D, and E are all irrelevant to the issue at hand.
