Answer to Question 1

a. Discriminatory because men/fathers get no similar benefit; also FMLA kicks in, not employer benefits.
b. In L.A., the department was ordered to modify the strength test to allow women admission.
c. The salaries are discriminatory and violative of the Equal Pay Act.

Answer to Question 2

You can't ask marital status or about family issues. The question about the Eisenhower administration would reveal age. The question about child care is prohibited. That would be sex discrimination. Personal and family matters should be kept out of the job interview.
