　　The terms in choice (B) logically complete thesentence's comparison between ethnic and cultural"generalizations" and certain "representations ofconstellations." "Stereotypes" are oversimplifiedgeneralizations that do not necessarily describe what a particular person is ACTually like—justas "pictorial," or picture-based, representations of constellations cannot accurately describea star's "ACTual nature."
