Answer 3

The answer is A because people viewed him as weaker. It's kind of like today. People may be racist against different people and view them as weaker .

Answer 4

is it a or b then?

Answer 5

I would say A. both are really similar but gandalf was more likely to accomplish goals.

Answer 6

I would say it's B simply because it's stated that because one person is a certain thing (ex: Gandalf is a wizard), PEOPLE think he can do an action. It's like saying, because Philip is Asian, he should be able to do these calculus problems
