Questions: The term assimilation is defined by the text as: Select one: a. When a dominant group forces a subordinate group to leave a certain area or even the country. b. The theory that prejudice is embedded in our culture. c. The process by which a minority individual or group takes on the characteristics of the dominant culture. d. The act of singling out an individual because of his or her race.

The answer is c. The process by which a minority individual or group takes on the characteristics of the dominant culture.

This option describes the concept of "expulsion" or "ethnic cleansing," not assimilation. Assimilation involves adopting the dominant culture's traits, not being forced to leave.

This option refers to the concept of "cultural prejudice" or "systemic racism," which is different from assimilation. Assimilation focuses on the integration of minority groups into the dominant culture.

This is the correct definition of assimilation. It involves minority groups adopting the language, customs, and norms of the dominant culture, often to gain social acceptance or economic benefits.

This option describes "discrimination" or "racial profiling," which is not related to the concept of assimilation. Assimilation is about cultural integration, not individual targeting based on race.
