Any television public service announcement that is produced or funded in whole or in part by any agency or instrumentality of federal government shall include closed captioning of the verbal content of such announcement.

the above text is from which federal act?
a. americans with disabilities act
b. equal educational opportunities act
c. civil rights act
d. equal pay act

The answer is letter A, Americans with Disabilities Act.

Explanation:

According to Section 402 of the Americans with Disabilities Act, if the Federal Government's agency produces a television public service announcement, it should include verbal caption or texts of the spoken part should be shown. This will enable disabled people to know important public announcement on the television. However, if the announcement is not related to the Federal Government, the television station licensee is not required to provide the captions. On the contrary, if they intentionally omit the captions for important announcements, then they will be held liable for that action.

This act will prevent the discrimination of disabled people in relation to, but not limited to, the access to government programs as well as services.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
