Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The hypothesis states that if people simply learned more about the groups toward which they harbor negative prejudices and stereotypes and against whom they discriminate, they would not demonstrate these tendencies. Problems include the fact that research does not support this hypothesis, that these tendencies tend not to be linked to facts and thus are relatively immune from fact-based falsification, and this approach assumes that people will readily accept information that is counter to information they already believe to be true.
