Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Stereotyping is viewing everyone in a certain group as alike instead of as individuals.

Answer to Question 2

It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
