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

正确答案: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.”
