Answer 1

The Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) ensures that pregnant employees must be treated the same as other employees with temporary disabilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The true statement about the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) from the options provided is that it dictates that pregnant employees be treated the same as all other employees with temporary disabilities.

The PDA, which is an amendment to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, aims to prohibit discrimination against women in the workplace who are planning to get pregnant, are pregnant, or are returning after pregnancy.

It ensures that women affected by pregnancy or related conditions must be treated in the same manner as other employees who are similar in their ability or inability to work.
