true
or
false
I believe it's false.
Yes for both of your answers.
You are very welcome. :-)
Thank you so much ! :)
1) The correct answer is indeed C) Of solving economic and educational discrimination.
To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate options A, B, and D based on incorrect descriptions. Then, by process of elimination and understanding the concept of Affirmative Action, you can determine that the best choice is C. Affirmative Action refers to policies and actions aimed at addressing and rectifying historical disadvantages faced by individuals or groups based on factors like race, gender, or socioeconomic status, particularly in areas of employment and education.
2) The correct answer is false.
To determine this, you need to understand the context and history of disability rights movements. While there were indeed protests and advocacy against discrimination of disabled individuals throughout the 1970s, there were also significant successes during this time period. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, for example, prohibited discrimination on the basis of disability in programs receiving federal funding. This was a crucial step towards addressing the issues faced by disabled individuals and ensuring their rights were protected.
