Answer 1

Under Title VII, a harassment can be severe OR pervasive (citing Meritor Sav. Bank, FSB v. Vinson, 477 U.S. 57, 65 (1986)).

So, the statement "In order for a Title VII action to succeed, the plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant's actions were severe OR pervasive, not that the defendant's actions were severe AND pervasive, is the best one.
