Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A collectivist impulse describes a culture that has a strong group identity. People in a collectivist culture often see their social role in the group as more important than their individual distinctions and achievements. Cultures that value singular traits are called individualistic. Being humanekindly, empathetic, compassionatehas nothing to do with group identity, and both collectivist and individualist cultures can be characterized as humane, eliminating humane as a correct response for this question. Similarly, being assertiveconfrontat ional and aggressivecan be ruled out for this question because assertiveness has no connection to how much a culture values its group identity.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: Being aggressive and confrontational describes the trait of being assertive. High uncertainty avoidance cultures put a lot of confidence in rules while low uncertainty avoidance cultures tend to prefer flexibility over rules. Neither avoidance trait matches the aggressive and confrontational description here so both can be eliminated as correct responses. Similarly, being future oriented, or focused on planning for future contingencies, is not an aggressive or confrontational trait so it can be ruled out as a correct response.
