Read the text from the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which was signed into law in 1990.[H]istorically, society has tended to isolate and segregate [separate] individuals with disabilities, and, despite some improvements, such forms of discrimination against individuals with disabilities continue to be a serious and pervasive [widespread] social problem; [D]iscrimination against individuals with disabilities persists [continues] in such critical areas as employment, housing, public accommodations, education, transportation, communication, recreation, institutionalization [being placed in a government facility], health services, voting, and access to public services.-Americans with Disabilities Act
Answer
A
to explain to people with disabilities what changes they could expect from the law
B
to convince world leaders of the importance of advocacy for people with disabilities
C
to give businesses guidance for what they would need to do to accommodate everyone
D
to show that lawmakers are aware of the problems that people with disabilities can face
Explanation
The passage lists widespread forms of discrimination and the areas of life where people with disabilities continue to face barriers. By describing these problems, the ADA shows that lawmakers recognize the challenges the law is intended to address. It is not primarily giving businesses practical accommodation instructions or explaining specific changes to individuals.
