Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A folk custom is behavior, often dating back several generations, that is practiced by a homogeneous group of people. The wearing of turbans by Muslims in southern Asia and the art of belly dancing in Turkey are both folk customs. A popular custom is behavior shared by a heterogeneous group or by several groups. Popular customs can exist in just one culture or in two or more cultures at once. Wearing blue jeans and playing golf are both popular customs across the globe. Folk customs that spread by cultural diffusion to other regions develop into popular customs.
Despite their appeal, popular customs can be seen as a threat by some members of a culture. Authorities in a devoutly religious district of Indonesia's Aceh province banned Muslim women from wearing tight clothing, short skirts, and blue jeans. Islamic police set up raids to distribute long skirts to women found violating the ban and to confiscate their offending garments. Violators were released from custody after they provided their identities to police and received advice from Islamic preachers.
