Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Enculturation is the process of passing a culture down from generation to generation. Culture can be taught directly, for instance, with the grandmother teaching the child. Culture can also be taught indirectly as when a child observes a role in the community. The student observing the grandmother teaching a child is the best example of enculturation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Language is the most extensively used set of symbols in a culture. The other items are important symbols but are not as important as language because words are used to represent objects and ideas.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
