Answer 1

Answer:

D. Qualified for the Position

Explanation:

Prima Facie Evidence

Prima Facie evidence is evidence that is sufficient to establish a fact or prove a proposition unless otherwise refutted.

Age Discriminationi in Employment Act

The age discrimination in Employment Act in the US was established as a labour law in 1967 and it was established to ensure that anyone who is at least 40 years of age does not suffer from employment discrimination.

The fact that Sharon is a forty-five year-old employee means she is qualified to file a suit against her employers under the Act. However, as previously stated before it can be established whether she deserves a higher pay or more dependable than her replacement or was discriminated against because of age, Sharon will need to establish the fact that she's qualified for the position taken away from her.

If she cannot prove that proposition or it ends up being refutted by the organisation, then the Age Discrimination in Employment Act cannot be invoked.
