Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Members of Hispanic American subcultures tend to use high affect and dramatic body language as
they communicate. The other options are more remote possibilities.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The room in the fast-food restaurant is preferable because it could be used consistently each week
and because inner city residents, including those from the homeless shelter, could go there without
interference.
