Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Race is primarily a social classification that relies on physical markers. Multiculturalism is the blending of diverse cultures. Ethnicity is the shared feeling of peoplehood among a group of in-dividuals and relates to cultural factors, such as nationality, geographic region, culture, ancestry, language, beliefs, and traditions. Culture is a set of beliefs, values, and assumptions about life that are widely held among a group of people and transmitted intergenerationally .

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Explicit behaviors are straightforward and do not leave room for misinterpretation of what the person wants to communicate, such as when using verbal communication. Implicit behaviors are less exact and may be difficult to interpret, including body language, use of titles, and perception of health and illness.
