Answer to Question 1

(Answer: a)

Answer to Question 2

Race is a socially constructed category based on physical traits that members of a society define as important. Race has nothing to do with being human; all people belong to a single biological species, Homo sapiens (Latin words meaning thinking person), that first emerged in Africa some 250,000 years ago.
 Ethnicity is a shared cultural heritage, which typically involves common ancestors, language, and religion.
