Practice question

- The rejection conflicts with the statute's prohibition of age-based denial of employment.
- All private hiring is exempt from employment equality.
- The cap is lawful because it was written.
- Being over 40 automatically disqualifies every applicant.
- Equal opportunity requires appointing all unsuccessful applicants.
