Answer: Amelia has a claim for discrimination based on gender discrimination.

Explanation:

Gender discrimination has to do with inequality that exists between men and women at workplace, homes etc. These differences ate as a result of cultural norms, psychology etc.

In this scenario, we are told John and Amelia were caught one day stealing a tractor at their workplace but that John was given a verbal warning and Amelia was terminated. This shows that there is gender discrimination. Since they both committed thesame offence, they should get thesame punishment. Therefore, Amelia has a claim for discrimination based on gender discrimination.
