Answer 1

Answer: d) Believing that Asians are better at math

Explanation: Prejudice is defined as feeling that tends to be negative towards other people or thing .It is an unjust opinion that someone forms usually on basis of race, ethics, etc. It is usually based on non-personal experience and is conceived from some other source

Asians are better at math is the prejudiced believe as people from non-Asian country also have great knowledge of math but due to ethical fact Asian are supposed to be good at math.

Other options are incorrect because they are determining discrimination by not hiring people persisting ethics and African-Americans bearing higher rate of interest, mockery by making fun of different looking person and personal reason looking with particular ethics rather than prejudice.

Thus, the correct option is option (d)
