Question: 1 / 400

What does the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibit?

Discrimination based on race

Discrimination based on physical or mental disabilities

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) specifically prohibits discrimination against individuals based on physical or mental disabilities. This landmark legislation, enacted in 1990, is designed to ensure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. The ADA addresses various aspects, including employment, public services, public accommodations, transportation, and telecommunications, intending to eliminate barriers that prevent individuals with disabilities from fully participating in society.

While the other choices touch on forms of discrimination that are addressed by other laws (such as the Civil Rights Act and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act), the ADA uniquely focuses on the rights of individuals with disabilities, making option B the accurate choice in this context.
