Choose the correct Determiner that must be inserted in the blank space :

"To what extent do you think stereotypes affect ________ way people see things" ?

the

The correct determiner for the blank space is:the

Here's why:

• The sentence asks about the general and overall way people see things, not a specific or individual way.
• Therefore, we need a determiner that refers to a concept in general, not a particular instance.
• "The" is the definite article used to refer to specific singular and plural nouns that are unique or familiar to the listener.
• In this case, "the way people see things" represents a shared understanding of how people in general perceive the world - a concept familiar to both the speaker and the listener.
