Answer 1

Option B. Elizabeth is unable to work because she is caring for her husband, who is ill and subject to quarantine. Elizabeth is eligible for 10 days of paid sick leave at 100% of her normal pay rate is a False Statement.

Explanation:

As Elizabeth was subject to sick leave of 10 days at 100% of normal pay rate, she will not bother about the leaves and there are doctors & specialized hospitals for quarantine for ill patients or effected patients. So, she can admit her husband in hospitals & work for her company. So, it is a False Statement.
