James Moeller · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Prejudice refers to holding negative attitudes or beliefs toward a person or group without adequate justification. In this scenario, Edgar holds negative attitudes toward Thomas solely because of his religious beliefs, without any valid reason for doing so. This demonstrates prejudice. Ethnic gloss (A) refers to using an oversimplified or positive label for an ethnic group without acknowledging the underlying diversity within the group. Assimilation (C) and acculturation (D) refer to different processes of cultural integration, but they do not apply to this scenario, which involves an individual's negative attitude toward another individual based on their religious beliefs.

A) ethnic gloss.

C) assimilation.
