Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Subcultures are unique cultural groups that coexist within the dominant culture of the United States. They are not defined according to the size of their membership or the lack of specific geographic origins. They may have some values that differ from those of the dominant culture, but this is not their defining characteristic.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The US culture can be described as anglicized, or English-based, because it evolved primarily from its early English settlers. Language use, economic influence, and political relations are not the justification for the fact that US culture is described as anglicized.
