Answer 1

The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit did not rule that the plaintiff, Reginald Jones, was entitled to a jury trial on the issue of whether he had been the victim of a racially hostile work environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer to the question is False. In Case #15, Jones v. UPS Ground Freight, 683 F.3d 1283 (11th Cir. 2012), the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit did not rule that the plaintiff, Reginald Jones, was entitled to a jury trial on the issue of whether he had been the victim of a racially hostile work environment. The ruling of the court was actually the opposite. They held that Jones was not entitled to a jury trial because he failed to present sufficient evidence to establish a racially hostile work environment. Therefore, the statement is false.
