Answer:

As a Latin girl, I can say that not only the stereotypes generated by language-based reality modeling have affected my life, but also those stereotypes related to Latinos. I have often been forced to hear that Latinos are scandalous, rude, starving, and rogues, this has made me miss some opportunities and even friendships, but we should all know that it is not right to associate these negative words with Latinos or any other kind of person.

Explanation:

The Whorf-Sapi hypothesis was created when Whorf and Sapir in studying the indigenous languages of North America came to the conclusion that language is not "an instrument of communication," as structuralist linguistics claims, but is a decisive factor in shaping world view. The "real world" is unconsciously constructed through the linguistic patterns of the human group to which it belongs.

coldgirl [10]

The correct answer is D. Capturing listeners' attention and getting them involved.

Explanation:

In speeches and communication, one of the elements that capture the listener's attention and make him/her be involved is directly addressing him/her, this occurs in the case of "If you want to reduce employee benefit costs by at least 15 percent without hurting employee morale or impacting your work environment, please stand up right now" because the use of the word "you" let every person in the audience know the speaker is personally speaking to them and moreover he would help them with an issue (reduce employee benefit costs) they might want to solve. Those, by doing this Connor is "Capturing listeners' attention and getting them involved".
