Carrie applied for a promotion at work. When she didn't get the job, her supervisor, Courtney, told her the reason was that the hiring manager, Hal, said she was always coming in late. Carrie responded, "That's not true! I was late once last week because I had a flat tire. That's not fair!" Courtney then told her that Hal gave the job to Sonny. Carrie knows for a fact that Sonny was written up last year for excessive tardiness and that he has been late a least a dozen times. Courtney said, "Well I$\text{'}$m sorry. I$\text{'}$m not sure there's much that can be done."

If Carrie sues for discrimination under Title VII, her best cause of action would be which of the following?

a$.$ Disparate Treatment

b$.$ Disparate Impact

c$.$ Retaliation

d$.$ Harassment

$2.$ If Carrie can prove she only came into work late once and that Hal's description of her work attendance is inaccurate, the effect would be:

a$.$ She'd have a strong case for sexual harassment

b$.$ She'd have a much stronger case for sexual discrimination

c$.$ Negligible if Hal actually believed she was chronically tardy

d$.$ Carrie would be able to prove not giving her the promotion was unfair

$3.$ Carrie later discovered Hal has fired nine women and only one man in five years. She also learned Hal has never given a promotion to a woman. If this information were to help Carrie's case for disparate treatment, it will most likely be because:

a$.$ It could be evidence of pretext

b$.$ It shows she was the victim of harassment

c$.$ It demonstrates Hal obviously hated women

d$.$ It demonstrates Hal retaliated against Carrie

$4.$ If Hal actually believed Carrie was frequently late, yet she was actually only late one time, then which of the following is true?

a$.$ Hal's reason would note a legitimate non$-$discriminatory reason for an adverse employment action

b$.$ Hals' reason would be a legitimate non$-$discriminatory reason for the adverse employment action.

c$.$ Carrie could sue for false pretenses

d$.$ Hal's reason would be strong evidence of discriminatory intent

$5.$ If Hal has fired nine women and never promoted one, this would be strong evidence for which of the following steps of the McDonnell$-$Douglas Burden Shifting Analysis?

a$.$ The plaintiff's prima facie case

b$.$ That Sonny was similarly situated

c$.$ An adverse employment action

d$.$ Pretext
