A) an annoying, self important know-it-all
B) a successful and hardworking businessman
C) a helpful and faithful friend, anxious to stay in touch
D) a brilliant, adventurous, and technologically advanced geek
The correct answer is option letter B (a successful and hardworking businessman). By definition, a stereotype is a very firm idea about what a particular type of person is like. In this case, the most likely stereotype one can spot in the phrase presented above is the one of a successful and hardworking businessman. One usually has the idea of a businessman who is constantly working or even overworking. In fact, the narrator exaggerates this idea of the hardworking businessman by using a literary technique called “exaggeration”. For instance, the amount of emails that Fred Johnson will be checking (“checking the four thousand emails”).
The excerpt shows the stereotype of an annoying, self-important know-it-all, as shown in option A.
With the reading of the excerpt shown above, we have little information about Fred Johnson, this information gives us a generalized and weak idea about him, which can trigger the stereotype that he is an annoying, self-important know-it-all.
