What concept involves barrier removal that is readily achievable without significant difficulty or expense?

• A. Readily achievable
• B. Direct threat
• C. Undue burden
• D. Auxiliary aids or services

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is barrier removal that is readily achievable. Readily achievable means easily accomplishable without significant difficulty or expense. In existing facilities, removing barriers falls under this standard, so small, affordable changes like adding a ramp or smoothing a threshold are expected if they can be done without major disruption or cost. The other terms don’t fit this scenario: direct threat relates to safety risks and is an exception to accessibility duties, undue burden refers to changes that impose significant difficulty or expense, and auxiliary aids or services cover accommodations to improve access rather than removing barriers.
