Explanation / Answer

As per my understanding Americans are good at public speaking and have good heights and may be having normal reactions or feelings about death and bad grades. Therefore the greatest fear may be about loss of ethos. The reason may be commercial competition and desires for capital and luxury goods and services and diversity of ethical values.

Perceptual tendencies being false.

First statement is more likely to be true because not every event being accidental and it is normal to find cause for the events.

b. statement is also true because interpretations are subjected to references groups.

Therefore the statement, c. People tend to perceive others as being basically like themselves, is false. Everyone thinks he/she is better than the others in some respect and getting less than the others for having no own faults.
