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

  1. Discrimination based on age

  2. Discrimination based on race

  3. Discrimination based on disabilities

  4. Discrimination based on gender

The correct answer is: Discrimination based on disabilities

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) specifically prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. This law was enacted to promote equal opportunities for people with disabilities in various areas such as employment, public accommodations, transportation, state and local government services, and telecommunications. By preventing discrimination based on disabilities, the ADA aims to ensure that individuals with such challenges can fully participate in society and access the same resources and opportunities available to those without disabilities. The focus of the ADA is uniquely centered on disabilities, which is why this option is the correct answer. Other forms of discrimination, such as those based on age, race, or gender, are covered under different laws and acts but are outside the primary scope of the ADA.
