Read the excerpt from "The Danger of a Single Story” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie."The single story creates stereotypes. And the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story."According to Adichie, what is the primary issue with stereotypes?
Answer
A
They are always false.
B
They provide a complete picture of an individual or group.
C
They simplify complex narratives into a singular perspective.
D
They are based on fictional accounts.
Explanation
Adichie says the problem with stereotypes is that they are incomplete: they make one story seem like the only story. This means they reduce complex people or groups to a single perspective, rather than offering a full picture. So the correct choice is “They simplify complex narratives into a singular perspective.”
