Read the following paragraph. The underlined sentence is the main idea of the paragraph. Answer the question that follows.
The main negative effect of reality television is that it spreads common stereotypes. Stereotypes cause us to make incorrect assumptions about different groups of people. For instance, the belief that people who wear glasses are math geniuses is a stereotype. We have long known about the effects of stereotyping. That’s why we have been fighting to put an end to these stereotypes. Now, reality television is harming our progress. One researcher at Syracuse University, Sherri Williams, found that people on reality shows were chosen based on how well they fit certain stereotypes. During the show, they were encouraged to play up these stereotypes as much as possible. In this way, the show helped to strengthen stereotypes about different types of people.

A. Italian Americans were told to use a strong Italian accent while speaking on a reality show. B. Reality shows help to spread common stereotypes about different cultures.
