Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Ethnic groups are composed of people who are members of the same race, religion, or nation and speak the same language. Irish-Americans are an example of an ethnic group. Caucasian is a racial group. Spanish-speaking refers only to shared language, but the individuals might be from Mexico, Spain, or the West Indies, each of which is ethnically different. Homosexuals do not comprise an ethnic group.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
When ethnocentrism, the belief that one's culture is superior to other cultures, leads to intolerance of another culture, prejudice results. Discrimination results when rights and privileges are withheld from the other culture. The other options do not accurately explain the relationship.
