Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Immigrants or new members of a group or country assume the characteristics of that culture through a learning process called acculturation. A person who is acculturated accepts both his own and the new culture, adopting elements of each. Acculturation is the outgrowth of the minority group's need to survive and flourish in the new culture. Many experts theorize that it takes years, perhaps three generations, for an immigrant group to become acculturated. Assimilation occurs when the new members gradually learn and take on the essential values, beliefs, and behavior of the dominant culture.

Answer to Question 2

C, D
Race refers to the grouping of individuals who share similar biological characteristics, such as blood type, skin color, and so forth. A person can be biracial; however, multicultural describes groups rather than individuals. Ethnicity refers to groups whose members share a common and social heritage that is transmitted to the next generation.
