Which law makes it illegal to practise racial discrimination in education, employment, and housing?

• A. Equality Act 2010
• B. Race Relations Act 1976
• C. Minimum wage
• D. Apprenticeship

Answer: (B)

This question tests knowledge of anti-discrimination law in education, employment and housing. The Race Relations Act 1976 specifically made it illegal to discriminate on grounds of race in those areas, creating legal protection against racist treatment. Later, the Equality Act 2010 merged and strengthened such protections, but the Race Relations Act is the law historically responsible for prohibiting racial discrimination in these three domains. The other options don’t address racism in these areas—minimum wage is about pay, and apprenticeship is a training program rather than a discrimination law.
