Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: Humane orientation roughly corresponds to Hofstede's quality of life category. Future orientation corresponds to Hofstede's long-term versus short-term orientation. Individualism/collectivism is virtually identical to Hofstede's individualism versus collectivism category. Only gender differentiation has no counterpart in the Hofstede study, so it is the correct response.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: Quantity of life and quality of life contrast how materialistic a society is as opposed to how caring and nonmaterialistic it is. Power distance has nothing to do with how materialistic people are, but rather how much they tolerate societal power imbalances. Individualism describes how independent members of a society are, not how materialistic they are.
