Question

a. it could show an old man looking peaceful and planting a tree.
b. it could show an old lady looking cranky and waving her cane.
c. it could show a grandmother baking cookies with her granddaughter.
d. it could show a grandfather giving his grandson a hug.

Explanation:

To determine which option shows negative bias toward the elderly, we analyze each choice:

• Option A: An old man planting a tree (peaceful) is a positive or neutral image.
• Option B: An old lady looking cranky and waving a cane portrays her in an irritable, possibly unpleasant way, which is a negative stereotype or bias.
• Option C: A grandmother baking cookies with her granddaughter is a warm, positive scene.
• Option D: A grandfather hugging his grandson is a loving, positive image.

Only Option B presents the elderly in a negative light.

Answer:

B. It could show an old lady looking cranky and waving her cane.
