Answer 1

Answer – D (Banquet cannot make changes to the doors without undue hardship)

 

To successfully defend against art's claim, banquet will have to show that they cannot make changes to the doors without undue hardship. Under the Americans with disabilities act, employers who do not accommodate the needs of persons with disabilities must prove that doing so would cause undue hardship.
