Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct answer: The first sentence is the definition sentence: "Discrimination is the action of showing biased preference for one over another."
Reasoning:
Start with a definition to introduce the topic: "Discrimination is the action of showing biased preference for one over another."
Follow with statements that describe where and how the term is discussed: "It is a word commonly taught in academia." and "It is a word taught to help children be aware of the harms of it."
Then present the specific point that is not usually emphasized: "What is not taught is that it continues on the sidelines."
Next, note the persistence of the problem: "It is far from being eradicated."
Then give a current characterization to deepen understanding: "The problem with discrimination now is that it has become more subtle."
Finally, conclude by acknowledging both subtle and overt forms and the need to address them: "However there are some still openly discriminating without facing repercussions and it needs to be tackled with equal force."
