(c) A contrast - a striking difference between two things
(d) A coincidence - a remarkable occurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection
Answer written by the student:
The above statement is FALSE
Step-by-Step explanation of the answer:
- Ausable’s appearance can be described as a disguise, because he might have deliberately chosen to look more like a banker than a secret agent to conceal his identity🕵️♂️
- Ausable’s appearance can also be described as a contrast, because he looked very different from what Fowler expected him to look like as a secret agent. He did not fit the description or image that Fowler had ever read.🙅♂️
- Ausable’s appearance cannot be described as a stereotype, because he did not conform to the fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a secret agent that Fowler had in mind.🙆♂️
- Ausable’s appearance cannot be described as a coincidence, because there was no remarkable occurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection involved in his appearance.🤷♂️
Therefore, none of the terms (b) and (d) can be applied to Ausable’s appearance, but the terms (a) and (c) can be applied to it.
Hence, the statement is FALSE. ❌
