Carly applies for a job at Data Applications LLC for which she is qualified, but for which she is rejected. The employer continues to seek applicants and eventually fills the position. To succeed in a suit against Data for discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Carly must show that she

was not hired solely because of a disability.

Explanation:

The Americans with Disability Act (ADA) was enacted in law in 1990 which prohibits any discrimination based on disability in employment, school, transportation, etc.

The ADA prohibits discrimination in employment in the form of not hiring because of disability, stopping promotion, training, etc.

To prove that one has been discriminated against under ADA, certain criteria need to be fulfilled such as one has to be mentally and physically impaired.

In the given case, Carly needs to prove that she was not hired because of a physical or mental impairment.
