Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Culture has four basic characteristics. Culture adapts to specific conditions related to environmental and technical factors and to the availability of natural resources, and it is dynamic and ever changing. Culture is learned from birth through the process of language acquisition and socialization, but it is not most clearly reflected in one's language and behavior.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Culture is learned from birth through language acquisition and socialization. It is not biologically or genetically determined and is learned by the individual.
