Critical Reading>Sentence Completions

Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

He maintains that ethnic and cultural ------- are generalizations no more related to what an individual is actually like than are the ------- representations of constellations to the actual nature of a star.

(A) traditions . . chemical
(B) stereotypes . . pictorial
(C) details . . figurative
(D) heritages . . prophetic
(E) specimens . . graphic

答案和解析

答案:B

解析:

The terms in choice (B) logically complete the sentence's comparison between ethnic and cultural "generalizations" and certain "representations of constellations." "Stereotypes" are oversimplified generalizations that do not necessarily describe what a particular person is actually like—just as "pictorial," or picture-based, representations of constellations cannot accurately describe a star's "actual nature."
