Question 1 • 620627PW Intro to Comm and Speech S1 – FARQUHAR, CYNTHIA

Which of the following scenarios is the result of a lack of education or experience?

Answer
A
A man dislikes hearing about the Holocaust because he is a survivor.
B
A burn victim doesn’t like to be near any flames.
C
A child refusing to eat broccoli because of its color.
D
A woman dislikes smokers because the smoke makes her cough.

Explanation

The child’s refusal is based only on broccoli’s color, not on having tried it and disliked its taste. This suggests a lack of experience with the food. The other scenarios are explained by painful memories or physical effects, such as smoke causing coughing.
