Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Answer: An employer must show that it exercised reasonable care to prevent and correct promptly any sexually harassing behavior. Reasonable care can be shown through strong sexual harassment policies, training managers and employees regarding their responsibilities for complying with these policies, instituting reporting processes, investigating charges promptly, and taking corrective action promptly. Second, the employer can demonstrate that the plaintiff unreasonably failed to take advantage of any preventive or corrective opportunities provided by the employer. The employee's failing to use formal organizational reporting systems satisfies the second component. When defending against discriminatory practice allegations, an employer can claim that the employment practice is a bona fide occupational qualification for performing the job. The other option is showing that the practice is a business necessity, which requires showing that there is an overriding business purpose for the discriminatory practice and that the practice is therefore acceptable.
