I’m pretty certain it’s 15 or more employees, but I might be mixing it up with another law.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think it was about organizations with 100 or more employees. That doesn't seem right now, though.

Wait, I thought this law covered all organizations, regardless of size. I'm a little confused now - I'll need to double-check the details on the employee minimum before answering.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the Pregnancy Discrimination Act is important, but I can't quite recall the specifics on the employee threshold. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question about the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. I'll need to remember the key details about the minimum number of employees required for this law to apply.

Comparability makes sense to me. When companies in the same industry use the same accounting methods, it allows for better comparison of their financial performance and position. I feel pretty confident that's the right answer.

Okay, let me think this through. Bonds are debt instruments, so they're usually quoted in relation to their actual value, not just whatever a broker says. I'm leaning towards C, market value, since that's how most financial instruments are quoted.

Wait, did someone actually choose D? That's like saying the minimum wage law only applies to the President. C is the correct answer, no doubt about it.

Haha, D) Federal government employees? Looks like someone needs to brush up on their employment law knowledge. C is the way to go, folks.

D) This law only addresses federal government employees? Really? That's like saying the Civil Rights Act only applies to the postal service. C is the obvious choice here.
