Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. Marital assimilation occurs when members of one group intermarry with members of another group.
2. Socialization is the process of being raised within a culture and acquiring the characteristics of that group.
3. Acculturation is changing one's cultural patterns to those of the host society.
4. Ethnicity is a group of people who share a common and distinctive racial, national, religious, linguistic, or cultural heritage.

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 1. Socialization is the process of being raised within a culture and acquiring the characteristics of that group.

3. One aspect of heritage consistency is frequent visits to a person's country of origin.
4. Acculturation is the process of adapting to or becoming absorbed into a dominant culture.
