Stereotyping is another harsh action, where a person is pre-judged wrongfully because of a characteristic such as their skin color or national origin, or even what they wear. which is the best summary based on key words for the sentence? color, origin, or clothing leads to stereotyping. stereotyping is harsh prejudgment of personal characteristics. stereotyping prejudges people by characteristics. stereotyping is skin color, national origin, or what someone wears.

The correct answer is the second option.

The first and final options miss the mark because they are focusing on the details of the paragraph (color, origin, clothing) rather than what stereotyping actually is. While the third option is closer to the correct answer, it leaves out key descriptors that appear in the second option ("harsh" prejudgement and "personal" characteristics).

n “Rules of the Game,” an excerpt from her 1989 novel The Joy Luck Club, Amy Tan examines an early part in the development of a Chinese-American girl named Waverly Jong and her relationship with her Chinese immigrant mother. Tan presents events in chronological order; nonetheless, she varies the pacing of the action in order to create tension and add meaning to the story.

"Rules of the Game" opens with exposition; six-year-old Waverly is on a typical shopping trip with her mother. Tan describes Waverly’s family, home, and surrounding environment. These rich and quickly-presented details are important for understanding Waverly’s relationship with her mother and her life as an American-born Chinese girl growing up in San Francisco Chinatown.

Tan then slows down the narrative to focus on the object that changed Waverly’s life: her brother’s chess set. The author describes exactly how the chess set came into Waverly’s life: it was a Christmas charity gift from their church.
