Answer to Question 1

c

Answer to Question 2

Implicit associations are associations of which we are unaware. We can measure the strength of such associations using reaction time: the faster the reaction time, the stronger the relationship. That is, if we have a strong association between a negative word and a racial group, our reaction time will be faster than when presented a positive word and that same racial group. If we experience a negative but unrelated prime (an incidental feeling), it may strengthen a relationship between a negative word and a particular racial group. Since implicit associations are basically nonconscious, they may influence our behaviors without our conscious awareness; that is, these automatic prejudices may cause us to speak in a certain way toward a member of a stigmatized group without even realizing how we're being influenced.
