Which of the following statements exemplifies stereotyping?

The correct choice highlights a common form of stereotyping, which involves making generalizations about a group of people based on certain characteristics, in this case, language proficiency among new immigrants to Canada. This statement suggests that a majority of new immigrants share a particular trait, which can inadvertently overlook the diversity and varying capabilities within this group.

Stereotyping simplifies complex human characteristics and experiences into broad categories, often leading to misconceptions and biases. By claiming that most new immigrants speak very little English, it implies a lack of language skills across the board, which can contribute to negative assumptions and discrimination.

The other statements do not exemplify stereotyping in the same way. For instance, saying that all lemons are yellow pertains to a factual observation about a fruit, not a characteristic of a group of people. The statement regarding people that speed acknowledges a risk without making generalizations about their character or capabilities. Hence, the choice that reflects the essence of stereotyping is the one about new immigrants.
