(B) stereotypes . . pictorial
(C) details . . figurative
(D) heritages . . prophetic
(E) specimens . . graphic
答案：B
解析：
The terms in choice (B) logically complete thesentence's comparison between ethnic and cultural"generalizations" and certain "representations ofconstellations." "Stereotypes" are oversimplifiedgeneralizations that do not necessarily describe what a particular person is actually like—justas "pictorial," or picture-based, representations of constellations cannot accurately describea star's "actual nature."
