Answer:

1. A person from America whose never traveled or knows a bit of history coming across a news article about a president in Ethiopia and the perspectives on the mentioned president. They'll likely be confused because they have no surrounding context on the president, no context on the way their government works, nor the conflicting beliefs of the people and of those in power.

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of an only child reading about a story with a huge family and the dynamics between the character and siblings, they'll wonder if that's how it actually is since they've never experienced it before. An elderly man whose sexist's opinions on feminism, disregarding the purpose or acknowledging why it is needed. Etc.
