please select the best answer from the choices provided

• assume that our stereotypes are true
• assume that communication with others is not worthwhile
• assume that others are so different from us that we could not communicate effectively
• all of the above

Explanation:

When we assume differences, we often rely on stereotypes (so "assume that our stereotypes are true" is valid), may think communication with those different isn't worthwhile, and may believe others are too different to communicate effectively. So all these assumptions are part of assuming differences.

Answer:

D. all of the above (Note: Since the original options didn't have letter identifiers, but in standard multiple - choice, this option would be the correct one as the other three options all relate to the consequences of assuming differences.)
