Ans: A
Feedback: The 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act stipulates that employers must make "reasonable" accommodations," such as equipment or access ramps, to facilitate employment of a person with a disability. Employers must evaluate the applicant's ability to perform the job and not discriminate on the basis of a disability. The employed person with a disability earns the same amount of money as the nondisabled person.
