In the exam (German)

- aThe woman has been ill for a long time and is unable to work.Die Frau ist lange krank und arbeitsunfähig.

- cThe woman does private things during working hours.Die Frau erledigt private Sachen während der Arbeitszeit.
- dThe woman is having a baby and her boss knows this.Die Frau bekommt ein Kind und ihr Chef weiß das.Correct answer
Why?
Under the Maternity Protection Act (Mutterschutzgesetz), pregnant women and young mothers have special protection against dismissal: during pregnancy and until four months after the birth, dismissal is generally forbidden if the employer knows about it. Often arriving late or doing private things during working hours, on the other hand, can be a reason for dismissal. A long illness can also be a reason under certain conditions.
