Answer 2

I believe the answer is: D. A company that has eight employees chooses not to hire a disabled person because it is a small, private business and the owner cannot afford to make modifications to the building.

When this condition occur, the small company is exempted from the act because forcing them to make modification would most likely make them forced to fire existing employees. The government saw this as a negative outcome that increase the number of unemployment.
