Iam sure some genius like fred johnson is currently working on it, while sitting in a cubicle checking the four thousand emails on his palm pilot.
identify the most likely stereotype presented in this phrase.
a) an annoying, self important know-it-all
b) a successful and hardworking businessman
c) a and faithful friend, anxious to stay in touch
d) a brilliant, adventurous, and technologically advanced geek

The correct answer is option letter B (a successful and hardworking businessman). By definition, a stereotype is a very firm idea about what a particular type of person is like. In this case, the most likely stereotype one can spot in the phrase presented above is the one of a successful and hardworking businessman. One usually has the idea of a businessman who is constantly working or even overworking. In fact, the narrator exaggerates this idea of the hardworking businessman by using a literary technique called “exaggeration”. For instance, the amount of emails that Fred Johnson will be checking (“checking the four thousand emails”).
