Answer 1

Mary's treatment of Millie is best described as discrimination.

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrimination is the unfair treatment of a person on the basis of his or her race, gender, age, among others. Mary's treatment was based on agist stereotypes, she didn't treat Millie's application the way she treated the others, she didn't read it nor consider it obectively. This is an example of a individual discrimination.
