Answer to Question 1

C
The cultural group whose values predominate in a given society is called the dominant culture; a minority group is a group that does not constitute the largest numerical portion of a given population. Characteristics of the dominant culture, including its norms, beliefs, and behavioral expectations, are assumed by individuals and groups through the process of acculturation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Percussion, the use of short, tapping strokes on the skin surface to create vibrations in underlying organs, is a way to assess density of structures or to determine organ location and size. Different sounds are produced by percussion of different organs. Percussion of the liver would produce a low-pitched, thudlike sound that represents dullness.
