Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Answer option A is correct.

Harris v. Forklift Systems Inc. was referenced in the case of same-sex harassment brought to the Supreme Court in Oncale v. Sundowner (D). Oncalehelped determine that gender is of little consequence when harassment meets the statutory requirements defined in Harris. Faragher v. City of Boca Raton (B) and Burlington Industries v. Ellerth (C) were also important cases aiding in interpreting the concept of sexual harassment in the workplace.

I agree with Tegan. Option C is the most on-point response. The other options, while relevant to adult learning, don't specifically address the readiness to learn aspect.

Option C is the best answer. It directly captures the idea of the learner's readiness to learn, which is about the relevance and usefulness of the learning for the learner's life.
