Answer to Question 1

An employer can defend a Title VII case by establishing that an alleged discrimination was based on (a) merit, (b) seniority, or (c) a bona fide occupational qualification. An employer is not liable under Title VII if it shows that the person favored was the most qualified. Test results, education, or productivity can demonstrate merit if they relate to the job in question. A legitimate seniority system is legal, even if it perpetuates past discrimination. An employer may establish discriminatory job requirements if they are essential to the position in question.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
