A modification or alteration in workplace policies or procedures that allows equal employment opportunity is called an:

• A. Adjustment
• B. Modification
• C. Accommodation
• D. Adaptation

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is how the ADA ensures equal employment opportunities by requiring reasonable accommodations. An accommodation is a change in policies, procedures, or the work environment that enables a qualified person with a disability to perform the job or to participate in employment on an equal basis. This can include things like flexible work hours, modified duties, assistive technology, or making facilities accessible. It’s the standard legal term used to describe deliberate adjustments that remove barriers, rather than vague or general tweaks. Other terms like adjustment, modification, or adaptation are less precise in the ADA context and don’t carry the same formal, employment-law connotation as accommodation.
