Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
In cultures with more fixed gender roles, women are usually given the role of caretaker for aging relatives and may suffer the stresses of caregiver strain. Feminine attributes refers to harmonious relationships, modesty, and taking care of others. Unequal gender refers to roles of males and females being unevenly distributed. Female inequality refers to female gender and roles being less than or unequal to male roles.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Short-term cultural orientation focuses on the present or past and emphasizes quick results. Long-term cultural orientation focuses the future and long-term rewards. Long-term-oriented cultures favor thrift, perseverance, and adopting to changing circumstances. Leisurely term and noncommittal are undefined in cultural orientation.
