Question 19 • NY-Global History and Geography II

Which situation is the best example of assimilation?

Answer
A
A Moroccan man begins to listen to Spanish music because he likes the sound.
B
A Japanese woman vacationing in India starts to wear Indian saris because they are pretty.
C
A Belgian man starts eating hamburgers because he likes American food.
D
A German woman living in France begins speaking French because the locals do.

Explanation

Assimilation happens when someone adopts practices of the culture where they live, becoming more like the people around them. The German woman lives in France and begins speaking French because the locals do, so D is the best example. The other choices describe enjoying or trying cultural items without adapting to a surrounding society.
