What does the Americans with Disabilities Act 1992 protect against?

  1. Only employment discrimination

  2. Public transportation barriers

  3. Employment and architectural barriers in new construction

  4. Freedom of speech for those with disabilities

The correct answer is: Employment and architectural barriers in new construction

The Americans with Disabilities Act 1992 protects against both employment and architectural barriers in new construction. While options A and D may be areas of concern for individuals with disabilities, the ADA specifically addresses discrimination in the workplace and physical access to buildings and public spaces. Option B is incorrect because while the ADA does address public transportation barriers, it also extends beyond this to cover a wide range of facilities and services that must be accessible for individuals with disabilities.
