Understanding the Answer

Let's break down why this is correct

Answer

The teacher first forms an expectation based on stereotypes (A). Because of that expectation, the teacher gives the student less attention and feedback (B). This reduced support lowers the student’s belief in their own ability (C). As a result, the student’s performance declines (D). For example, if a teacher expects a girl to do poorly in math, she may give her fewer questions to answer, which makes the girl doubt her math skills and ultimately leads her to score lower on tests.

Detailed Explanation

First, a teacher forms an expectation using stereotypes. Other options are incorrect because This order places the student's belief before the teacher's expectation; It suggests the belief changes before the teacher’s expectation.
