Answer:

<h2>Antibiotic resistance had become very common now a days. People develop antibiotic resistance if they do not take antibiotics according to the prescription by the physician. </h2>

Explanation:

a. Actually the statement given by the friend is absolutely correct. The person has developed a resistance against the antibiotic he had taken to treat the strep throat. The infection has redeveloped and when he had the same antibiotic for strep throat it will become ineffective.

b. This happens because he had stopped taken the complete course of the antibiotic as prescribed by the doctor. If the bacteria changes its shape or removes the effectiveness of the particular antibiotic, resistance develops. The infection has redeveloped may be due to any change in the bacteria or ineffectiveness of the particular drug.

Which term specifically describes the categorization of people into ethnic groups without taking into account individual differe
zysi [14]

Answer: D) Stereotyping

Choice A is false because this involves denying a person to do something based on factors such as religion, race, ethnicity, etc.

Choice B is false because this term involves a crime or suspected crime being committed, or about to be committed. And it also makes the assumption based on a person's race.

Choice C is false since segregation is the separation of people usually by race or ethnicity. Though you could have class based segregation (eg: rich vs poor) and other forms.

Choice D is true because stereotyping is where you lump a bunch of people together based on cultural or societal assumptions. Usually it's in the form of "all ___ people do such and such" where you fill in the blank with a specific race or culture.
