Based on this direct experience with a Yumtuck, Farrah is likely to: Group of answer choices a) abandon her stereotype of Yumtucks as self-centered and irresponsible. b) think that this particular Yumtuck is an exception to the stereotype. c) reach out and form friendships with the Yumtucks that live in her neighborhood. d) think that the other person is not really a Yumtuck.

Answer:think that this particular Yumtuck is an exception to the stereotype.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stereotypes are those beliefs that we have and use to judge another group of people who do not fall within the cycle of our own groups. This may occur because they have are of different race, ethnic group, diffrent nation, or they form other group of society that we don't associate with.

It is very unlikely that in one diffrent experience we may abandon our stereotype because we have lived with such stereotype for a long time in such that we truly believe that they are true and there is no way they can not be true.
