Answer 1

The correct answer is 3; No, because the Civil Rights Act of 1991 makes it an unfair employment practice for an employer to use different cutoff scores in an employment-related test on the basis of a protected trait.

Further Explanation:

The labor law, Civil Rights Act of 1991, is to protect employers from discrimination in the work force. Employees now can have a trial by jury and can sue for job related emotional stress. There is also a limit on how much the employee can be rewarded.

Employers are not allowed to discriminate based on the test scores that are used to gain employment. The tests must be the same for everyone and can't be changed to have different cut-off scores for any race such as the Scottish-decedent in the question. That would violate the law and make it unfair for other applicants on the job that aren't descended from Scottish people.
