The correct answer is B. Poor

Explanation:

The word "bad" usually refers to some situation, person or any other element that is considered as harmful or evil. However, the denotative meaning of words which is the meaning stated in the dictionary or most common meaning can change according to the context in which the word appears. In this case the word "bad" is used to refer to the decision taken by the twin brothers of the narrator and the word "bad" is used as synonym for the phrase "worst choice ever", this means the decision was not harmful or evil, but was mainly a hastily, embarrassing or led to negative consequences. Thus, in this case, the most similar meaning to the word "bad" would be the word "poor" as this word means inferior or faulty, which are adequate adjectives to describe some decision was not the best and had negative consequences.

Identify one example of conformity bias in “The Wretched and the Beautiful.”
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

In this short story by ​E. Lily Yu, the relationship between the collective narrator and the refugees is mediated by authority figures such as the media, the police, politicians, and even the beautiful aliens that claim that the refugees are criminals. Only one voice of dissent arises, when a woman refuses to consider the small ones as criminals, but the conformity bias makes the collective shut her down and agree with the authorities, besides the possibility of being helping in a genocide of the refugees.

Explanation:

Conformity bias refers to the power of people´s urge to fit in, as we usually prefer the harmony of a homogenous group consensus, even if it means doing something immoral or somehow reprehensible because everyone is doing it.
