Answer 2

1- Representativeness;

2- someone resembles a category prototype.

Step-by-step explanation:

Representativeness means to sympathize and fit into the interests and characteristics of a particular social class or people group. It is a competence attributed to an individual or an entity (political, sexuality, religion, etc.) based on the ability to perform such a role. In other words, representativeness makes us separate people into groups according to how much an individual resembles a category prototype.
