Answer to Question 1

B
Ingratiation means trying to make the other person feel importantgiving praise or sympathizing. Ingratiation is attempting to advance oneself by trying to make another person feel important.

Answer to Question 2

D
By talking with Jim, Sarah is able to step outside her circle of familiarity and find and enhance her understanding of personally held prejudices. Prejudice enables Sarah to find meaning in situ-ations, but it also limits understanding. Paradox describes this tension. We have the responsibility to acknowledge the possibility of tension as a potential for new and different understandings derived from our communication and interpretation. Possibility, therefore, presumes a condition for openness with a person from another culture (Spence, 2004).
