27 Comprehension Read the passage and answer the questions below:

Stereotyping is a type of generalization which attributes traits or characteristics to everyone in a large group. People who stereotype

tend to have fixed and unbending opinions. They respond to challenges by distorting reality, rather than consider their assumptions

and conclusions, which they have labelled as the

truth. What happens is that the facts are compared to the stereotype and then rejected, because they do not fit the stereotype.

Stereotyping is often caused by ethno-centrism. The ramifications of stereotyping are that it:

• Forces us to choose ideas

• Causes destructive competition

• Alienates us from others

• Leads to narrow thinking

We end up denying dignity to others, whom we stereotype, and generate unhappiness all around us.

Question Description Those who tend to stereotype are not likely to

A have rigid views about others

B revisit their assumptions about others

C believe their opinions as the truth

D distort reality rather than face truth

E None of the above

Correct Answer B
