We can actually deduce here that the underlined sentence in the excerpt is an example of hasty generalization.
<h3>What is hasty generalization?</h3>
Hasty generalizationactually refers to a kind of fallacious generalization which makes it false as a result of insufficient samples. Insufficient information leads to hasty generalizations.
We see that in the sentence, the speaker refers to "our laziness" being the reason for dependence upon "prodders". This information is insufficient to conclude.
<span>I believe that the italicized
word here is “dignify”. When you dignify something, you’re making something,
may it be a silly thing or not, worthy. Thus, the answer to this is letter B,
or “make worthy”. That only means that the author is giving dignity to the
interviewer’s silly question through his response.</span>
