Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Racial bias occurs when the reader is given a one-sided viewpoint based on majority culture norms. A lack of multicultural information in areas such as cultural differences and spiritual practices is an example of racial bias. There is no need to focus entirely on majority culture norms. Minority culture information should be included for balance. Stereotyping oversimplifies behaviors and traits of minorities. There is no indication that similarities are the focus.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Moving around when studying is an example of a bodily/kinesthetic learner. Taking notes when reading assigned chapters is an example of a linguistic learner. Linguistic learners learn best by saying, hearing, and seeing words. They are good at memorizing names, places, dates, and trivia. Taking notes when reading the text and reducing the number of words included in notes would benefit this type of learner. Organizing a personal method of study is an example of a logical/mathematical learner. Making diagrams, boxes, or lists are examples of a spatial learner.
