What did Omar's friend Jeri believe about everyone in America?

• A. That all the people there were super rich
• B. That all the people there were poor
• C. That all the people there were doctors
• D. That all the people there were strangers

Answer: (A)

The question is about recognizing a stereotype. Jeri’s belief that everyone in America is super rich shows a simple, sweeping generalization based on limited information—thinking a whole country’s people share one, extreme trait. In When Stars Are Scattered, this reflects how someone outside the United States might picture America from stories or media, assuming wealth is universal there, even though real life includes a wide range of incomes and experiences. So the best answer is that she believed all Americans were rich, because that captures the specific stereotype Jeri held. The other ideas—that Americans are all poor, doctors, or strangers—don’t match what the story conveys about her view.
