Which sentence demonstrates the use of label to categorize someone unfairly?

• A. Label
• B. A name or phrase assigned to a person to classify them, often in an unfair manner
• C. A piece of information on an object
• D. A device used to measure temperature

Answer: (A)

Labeling someone unfairly hinges on applying a tag or name that boxes them into a category. The best answer is the word itself because it denotes the act of giving someone a label—an informal tag that can skew perception and lead to unjust classification. The other options describe what a label is or tools and information related to labeling, not the action of using a label to unfairly categorize a person. So, the term that best captures the concept of unfair categorization through labeling is the label itself.
